CAT 2026 Form Correction Window: Update Your Photo, Signature, and Test City Preferences

CAT 2026’s edit window opens on October 5 at 10:00 AM. It closes on October 6 at 5:00 PM. Only fee‑paid applicants can correct three areas: photograph, signature, and test state or city preferences. Core details like name, date of birth, category, email, mobile, and academics stay locked.

Make these changes early to avoid last‑minute upload errors. Admit cards release on November 4 and remain available till exam day. The test is scheduled for Sunday, November 29, across three sessions. Plan around travel, reporting time, and rest, because slot allocation appears on the admit card.

CAT 2026 photo and signature specifications

Use JPG or JPEG files under 80 KB each. Keep the photo within 1200×1200 pixels, on a plain white background, taken within six months. Scan the signature clearly within 80 mm × 35 mm at a minimum 150 dpi. If rejected, recrop tightly, remove glare, and re‑scan at 150–300 dpi.

CAT 2026 test city preferences: make the right switch

You can reorder or change your preferred test cities during this window. Candidates select six distinct cities; after registration closes, one among them is allotted, or a nearby city if required. Prioritise nearest metro, dependable transport, and backup connectivity to reduce risk from weather or traffic disruptions.

CAT 2026 locked fields and category change policy

Name, date of birth, email, mobile, and academic entries remain non‑editable here. The official rule states, “No change in the category will be entertained after CAT registration.” If you misreported such details, raise a grievance, but expect limited recourse at this stage. Focus on perfecting images and city choices now.
