What to expect at the CAT 2013 test centres

Candidates are expected to arrive at their scheduled test centre at least 1.5-hour before their scheduled test time. Only registered CAT 2013 candidates will be allowed inside the test centre.

Candidates must present their Admit Card and photo identification and carry them at all times. Candidates will not be allowed to take the test if either of these is not presented.

Apart from Admit Cards, photo identification, SC/ST and DA documents, nothing will be allowed inside the actual testing room. Candidates will be required to store small personal belongings in a plastic bag provided, away from the testing area. They should not bring bags, valuables and large items to the test centre as Prometric will not be able to store these.

As part of the biometric check-in process, a candidate's digital image as well as fingerprint will be captured. This will allow the IIMs to verify a candidate's identity during any follow-up interviews.

Once the check-in process is completed, candidates will be escorted to their assigned seats. There could be some waiting time before the test starts to allow for all candidates to be checked in.

Prior to the commencement of the actual test, there will be a 15-minute tutorial that candidates are advised to go through.
