Use the official Indian Institutes of Management source linked on this page and recheck it before registration, payment, admission or exam-day decisions.

Will StudyDesk update this CAT 2026 page?

Yes. The same canonical page should be updated when official registration, exam-date, admit-card, result or counselling notices are published instead of creating duplicate SEO pages.
