CAT 2026 Edit Window Opens October 5: Check How to Correct Application

The CAT 2026 application correction window will open on October 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM, giving registered candidates a limited opportunity to correct selected details in their submitted application forms.

The correction facility will remain available until October 6, 2026, at 5:00 PM. Only candidates who successfully completed CAT 2026 registration and paid the application fee will be able to use the edit facility.

Candidates should note that the correction window does not allow the entire CAT application form to be edited. Only specified fields can be modified during this period.

CAT 2026 Correction Window Dates

CAT 2026 correction window opens: October 5, 2026

Opening time: 10:00 AM

Last date to make corrections: October 6, 2026

Closing time: 5:00 PM

CAT 2026 examination date: November 29, 2026

Candidates should complete all permitted corrections well before the deadline because the edit window is available only for a short period. 

CAT 2026 Application Correction: What Can Be Edited?

Candidates will be allowed to modify only selected fields in their CAT 2026 applications.

Editable details include:

• Candidate photograph
• Candidate signature
• Test city preferences

Personal information and academic details will remain locked during the correction period. Candidates should therefore not expect to modify every detail submitted during registration.

CAT 2026 Correction Window: What Cannot Be Changed?

The correction facility is limited.

Candidates will generally not be permitted to edit:

• Personal details
• Academic information
• Registration details that are locked
• Other fields not specifically enabled during the correction window

Candidates should carefully check which fields become active after logging in rather than assuming that all errors can be corrected.

How to Correct CAT 2026 Application Form

Candidates can follow these steps when the edit facility opens:

1. Open the CAT 2026 application portal.
2. Click on the registered candidate login option.
3. Enter the required login credentials.
4. Open the submitted CAT 2026 application.
5. Select the application correction or edit option.
6. Check the fields available for modification.
7. Upload a corrected photograph or signature if required.
8. Modify test city preferences if necessary.
9. Review every change carefully.
10. Save and submit the corrected application.
11. Recheck the submitted form after saving.
12. Keep a copy of the updated application for reference.

CAT 2026 Photo Correction: Candidates Can Upload Correct Photograph

Candidates who uploaded an incorrect, unclear or unsuitable photograph during CAT registration will get an opportunity to replace it during the correction window.

Before uploading a new image, candidates should ensure that the photograph meets the prescribed specifications and is clearly visible.

A poor-quality or incorrect photograph could create problems later during identity verification, so candidates should use the correction opportunity if their existing image needs replacement.

CAT 2026 Signature Correction: Check Uploaded Signature Before Deadline

The CAT 2026 correction facility will also allow candidates to modify their uploaded signature.

Candidates should verify whether the signature currently visible in their submitted application is:

• Clearly readable
• Properly uploaded
• Not blurred
• Not cropped incorrectly
• Associated with the correct candidate

If there is an issue, the corrected signature should be uploaded before the edit window closes on October 6.

CAT 2026 Test City Preference Can Be Changed

Candidates will also be permitted to modify their CAT test city preferences during the correction window.

This option can be useful for candidates whose travel, residence, work or academic circumstances have changed after submitting the original application.

Changing a preference does not necessarily guarantee allocation of a particular test city. Candidates should therefore choose their preferences carefully.

CAT 2026 Correction Window Only for Registered Candidates

The edit facility is not a fresh CAT registration opportunity.

Only candidates who successfully completed the CAT 2026 registration process and paid the required application fee can access the correction window.

Candidates who did not submit the application during the registration period cannot use the correction facility to create a new application.

CAT 2026 Correction Fee: Is Additional Payment Required?

No additional application correction fee is reported for using the CAT 2026 correction facility.

Eligible registered candidates can access the permitted fields, make the required changes and submit the corrected form during the available period.

CAT 2026 Edit Window Closes October 6: Don't Wait Until Last Hour

Candidates will have only a limited period to make corrections.

The facility begins at 10:00 AM on October 5 and closes at 5:00 PM on October 6.

Students should avoid waiting until the final few minutes because login problems, internet connectivity issues or incorrect document uploads could leave insufficient time to complete corrections.

CAT 2026 Application Checklist Before Saving Changes

Before submitting the corrected application, candidates should check:

• Photograph is correct and clearly visible
• Signature is correctly uploaded
• Test city preferences are in the desired order
• Changes have been saved
• Corrected details appear in the application
• No editable field has been accidentally changed
• Updated application has been successfully submitted

Candidates should download or retain the updated application details after completing the process.

CAT 2026 Exam on November 29: Correction Window Is an Important Pre-Exam Step

CAT 2026 is scheduled to be conducted on November 29, 2026, in three sessions.

The correction window is therefore one of the important application-stage processes before candidates move toward admit-card download and final examination preparation.

Applicants should ensure their permitted application details are accurate before the correction facility closes.
