Common Mistakes to Avoid During CAT Registration 2024

Committing errors during the CAT form-filling process can prevent candidates from appearing in the exam. Therefore, candidates must know the common mistakes to avoid during the CAT registration process. Here are the critical points to remember while filling out the CAT application form:

Photograph

Candidates must avoid using an image taken prior to 6 months from the form-filling date. Additionally, the image must have a white background, as a coloured background is not accepted by the exam conducting authority. While uploading the image, candidates must retain a printed copy of the image to present on the exam day.

Grade or CGPA Conversion

While filing the academic qualification, candidates must provide their UG score in percentage format. In case candidates' college follows the CGPA marking system, they must convert their score in percentage and then provide the details of their UG marks.

CAT Exam Eligibility Details

While entering the eligibility details, candidates must remain careful, as no modifications are allowed once the form is submitted.

Original Certificates and Documents

Candidates must ensure possession of original certificates, degrees, and mark sheets for all submitted details on the form. These documents are essential during the admission process, and failure to produce them could impact their candidacy even after getting shortlisted in CAT 2024.

CAT 2024 Application Correction Window

After closing the CAT 2024 registration process, IIM will open the CAT application correction window for a couple of days. During this time, candidates are allowed to rectify some of the sections in their application form. The specific areas where corrections are permitted include:
  • Candidate's Photograph
  • Candidate's Signature
  • Test City Preferences

CAT Exam Registration 2024: Things to Keep in Mind

To fill the CAT 2024 application form, it is recommended to use web browsers like Edge Chromium, Mozilla Firefox (version 56 and above), or Google Chrome (version 59 and above). Avoid filling the form on a smartphone; use a laptop or desktop instead.
  • Before submitting, carefully cross-check all the information in the form. Once submitted, the form cannot be edited. If changes are needed, you will have to create a new login, fill the form again, and pay the fee.
Save a copy of the CAT application fee acknowledgment slip and the filled form for future reference. Keep the CAT registration confirmation email until the MBA admission process is complete. It's also a good idea to print the confirmation email for safekeeping.

CAT 2024 Registrations: Instructions for Reserved Category Students

Candidates applying under the Reserved category must carefully follow the specific instructions for their category. They may need to upload relevant certificates attested by a competent authority. It is important to check all requirements thoroughly.
  • To verify your Caste/Tribe name, you can visit the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) website at: http://www.ncbc.nic.in/Home.aspx . Submission of the Reserved category form along with the exam form is mandatory. You can download the EWS, NC-OBC, or SC/ST certificates from the official CAT 2024 website. Fill out the form, self-attest it, scan it as a PDF, and upload it on the CAT website.
If you are applying under the Person with Disability (PwD) category, download the PwD certificate from the CAT website, fill it, self-attest it, and upload it as a PDF on the CAT website. Don’t forget to select your options under the PwD Category, like Wheelchair Support and Scribe Requirement, in the CAT 2024 application form. If you need a scribe for the exam, fill out the Scribe Affidavit form available on the CAT registration website before the deadline and arrange a scribe on your own.

CAT Application Process: Errors to Avoid

Most parts of the CAT 2024 application form can only be changed before you submit it for the final time. The correction window allows changes to only a few sections, so it's important to fill out the form correctly from the start. Here are some tips to help you avoid mistakes in the CAT 2024 form:
  1. Use a valid email ID and mobile number for registration, as all communication will be done through them.
  2. Carefully select your CAT test city because you cannot change it once the exam center is assigned.
  3. Choose your current city as the first option for the exam center to make things easier on exam day.
  4. Select IIMs wisely , as you will only be eligible for the WAT-PI (Writing Ability Test and Personal Interview) process of the IIMs you choose in the form.
  5. Choose interview cities for IIMs carefully , as you can only select two options for each.
  6. Enter accurate academic scores for classes 10, 12, and graduation. If you have a PG or professional degree, include those details too, as the IIMs will use this information for shortlisting candidates for WAT-PI.
  7. Provide accurate work experience , as it will be considered during the WAT-PI shortlisting process.
  8. Upload valid caste/PwD/Scribe certificates. If these are found to be fake, you may be disqualified from the exam.
  9. Ensure your fee payment is successful and check for an email acknowledgment. Without this acknowledgment, your form will be incomplete, and you won’t receive the CAT admit card.
