CAT 2026 Admit Card Out on iimcat.ac.in: How to Download, Exam on 29 November

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Indore, which is conducting the Common Admission Test (CAT) this year, has made the CAT 2026 admit card available on 4 November on the official website, iimcat.ac.in. The exam will be held on Sunday, 29 November 2026.

CAT is a computer-based test held in three slots at centres across India. It is the gateway to MBA and PGP programmes at the IIMs and many other business schools. About 2.84 lakh candidates have registered this year, roughly 3.7% fewer than last year, according to education portals.

How to download the CAT 2026 admit card

1. Go to iimcat.ac.in and click on “Registered Candidate Login”.
2. Enter your CAT User ID and password and complete the verification step.
3. On the dashboard, open the admit card link.
4. Download the PDF and take a clear printout.

Candidates who have forgotten their password can reset it from the login page. The admit card will not be sent by post.

Check these details

Make sure your name, registration number, photograph, signature, test centre address, reporting time and exam slot are printed correctly. Contact the CAT help desk quickly if anything is wrong.

What to carry on exam day

• A printed copy of the admit card (a phone copy is not enough unless official instructions say so).
• An original photo identity document as specified in the instructions.

Applications that were incomplete, duplicated or unpaid may not get an admit card. The website was briefly slow after the release due to heavy traffic, so candidates may need to try again after some time.
