CAT 2026 Application Today Closes on September 22

CAT 2026 Application Today Closes on September 22: The IIM CAT 2026 application form fill-up process will close today, September 22, 2026 . Candidates who are yet to register should not wait until the last minute. Instead, candidates should visit the official website, iimcat.ac.in , and complete the process beforehand; otherwise, they may face last-minute technical glitches or website traffic unnecessarily. Since the authority has already extended the last date of CAT 2026 registration, the chances of extending the last date of application form submission are very low.

The CAT 2026 application form fill-up process will be completed with the application fee payment process. For instance, candidates should pay Rs 2700 (Rs 1350 for SC/ST candidates) as the CAT 2026 registration fee.

CAT 2026 Application Form Last Date: Will Registration Date Get Extended?

Before assuming a further extension of the CAT 2026 application form fill-up, the candidates are advised to analyse the past three years' trends. The same has been highlighted in the following table:

CAT Year

Original Last Date

Extended Last Date

Number of Extensions

CAT 2023

September 13, 2023

September 20, then September 21

2 times

CAT 2024

September 13, 2024

September 20, 2024

1 time

CAT 2025

September 13, 2025

September 20, 2025

1 time

As per the above analysis, it is seen that the IIM CAT application form last date has been extended twice, but only one time. For the rest of the time, it was extended only one time. Hence, the chances of further CAT 2026 registration are very low. However, the candidates are advised to constantly check the official website to get the latest updates on the same.

What after CAT 2026 Application form?

After completing the CAT 2026 registration process, the authority will release the CAT 2026 admit card on November 4, 2026, for the successfully registered candidates on the official website.
