CAT Registration 2025: The registration dates for Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025 were revised. As per the updated schedule, the final deadline to complete registration for CAT 2025 is September 20, 2025. The registration link is available on the official CAT website – iimcat.ac.in.
The Common Admission Test (CAT) is one of the most prestigious national-level entrance examinations in India, held every year by the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). It serves as the primary gateway for admission into their flagship postgraduate management programs (PGPs), including the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and related courses.
CAT is conducted in a computer-based format, and is designed to evaluate candidates across multiple skill areas. These include verbal ability and reading comprehension, quantitative aptitude, data interpretation, and logical reasoning. A good CAT score doesn’t just matter for the IIMs; it’s also accepted by top business schools across India, like FMS Delhi, SPJIMR Mumbai, MDI Gurgaon, and several IITs, so doing well can open the door to many leading management programs.
