How to Get the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2026 Admit Card

  1. Open the official CAT website iimcat.ac.in and go to the registered candidate login.
  2. Enter the User ID and Password you received at the time of CAT 2026 registration.
  3. Open the admit card section and download your CAT 2026 admit card.

What to Check

Your CAT 2026 admit card shows the session and the test centre allotted to you. The CAT Centre has said that once a centre is allotted, no change is permitted, and that the IIMs may change test cities, centres, date or time if the situation requires, so keep checking iimcat.ac.in until exam day. The test lasts 120 minutes and has three sections: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning and Quantitative Ability. Results are likely in the first week of January 2027, and the CAT 2026 score stays valid until 31 December 2027. Each IIM sets its own shortlisting criteria, which can include past academic record and work experience along with your CAT score, so read the admission policy of the IIMs you are targeting. The official documents do not give session timings or section-wise question counts; rely on what is printed on your admit card.

Documents to Carry

  • A printed colour copy of the admit card / call letter / schedule
  • A valid original photo ID (Aadhaar / PAN / Voter ID / Driving Licence / Passport)
  • Recent passport-size photographs (same as in the application)
  • Any other document or instruction mentioned on the admit card
