CAT 2025 Correction Window: Check Expected Date and Application Editing Process Here

The CAT 2025 registration window commenced on August 1, 2025, and closes on September 20, 2025 at 5:00 PM. The next event is the opening of CAT 2025 correction window expected by last September.  

The CAT 2025 application correction window is a one-time opportunity for registered candidates to rectify certain errors in their submitted application forms. This facility is expected in the last week of September based on previous years' trends and is made available for a short period, often 3-4 days, after the registration period for CAT 2025 closes on September 20, 2025. During this correction period, candidates can generally edit a few specific fields, including: 

• Photograph
• Signature
• Test City preferences

Most personal and academic details cannot be changed once the CAT 2025 application is submitted. This includes the candidate's name, date of birth, email address, mobile number, and marks for Class 10, Class 12 and graduation. Therefore, candidates fill out the form with utmost care and accuracy from the beginning to avoid any issues. There is no extra fee charged for making corrections during this window. Once the correction window closes, no further requests for changes will be accepted. The final test center allotment, which is mentioned on the CAT 2025 admit card, will be based on the final selections made during this correction period. Only a correct application will be allowed to take the exam conducted by IIM Kozhikode on November 30, 2025.
