The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) have officially announced that the CAT 2026 registration date is extended. This extension provides a critical window for MBA aspirants who missed the initial timeline to complete their submissions through the official IIM CAT Portal.
IIM Indore, the organizing body for this year’s Common Admission Test, confirmed that candidates now have an additional week to fill out forms, upload documents, and complete fee payments.
The revised timeline ensures the registration process remains smooth, though the core exam date remains unchanged for later this year.

To avoid last-minute portal crashes or payment failures before the new deadline closes, keep the following prerequisites ready:
Academic Credentials: Marksheets for Class 10, Class 12, and Graduation degrees. Final-year graduation students must have their aggregate marks updated.
Document Formatting: Scanned copies of your passport-size photograph, signature, and category/PwD certificates (if applicable) matching the portal's dimensions.
Fee Payment: Keep digital payment options ready to process INR 2,700 for General/OBC-NC categories and INR 1,350 for SC/ST/PwD candidates.
