What to check on the CAT admit card?

Candidates should read the card carefully as soon as they download it. It carries the exam date, the allotted slot and the test centre.

In earlier years the card has also included a Google Maps link to the centre and the exam-day instructions.

If candidates find any error in name, photo or signature, they should immediately contact with the CAT helpdesk.

What to carry on exam day

The admit card is a must for entry, and it has to be shown along with valid photo identification.

In earlier years, the instructions asked candidates to carry printed copies of the admit card and an original photo ID, and not to sign the card in advance, since it is signed in front of the invigilator inside the hall.

Candidates should also confirm the route to their centre and keep documents ready a day before.
