CAT 2019: IIM aspirant? Here is update for you - Check iimcat.ac.in

IIM CAT 2019 registration: For those who want to pursue their career in management, this information is very crucial as the registration for Common Admission Test (CAT) at the Indian Institutes of Management-Kozhikode will close today. The candidates who have so far not submitted their online application must do it at the Institutes' official website-iimcat.ac.in. Last week, the application process date for CAT 2019 was extended to accommodate students who failed to do so in the wake of rains and floods in several states.

IIM Kozhikode is conducting the CAT 2019 on November 24 in two sessions at 374 centres in 156 cities spread across the country. Every year over two-lakh candidates appear for the entrance examination, and those who crack the CAT are allowed to take admission in IIMs and other B-schools. Notably, the admission process of each IIM is separate and after qualifying CAT, a candidate needs to apply separately.
