The CAT 2024 exam is scheduled for November 24, 2024, and will serve as a key step for admission to the 21 IIMs and top MBA colleges across India. IIM Calcutta will be conducting this year’s exam. As per the official CAT notification released on July 28, 2024, the registration process will open on August 1, 2024, and close on September 20, 2024.

Given the challenging nature of the CAT exam, it’s important to begin preparation well in advance, ideally at least nine months before the exam. However, if you haven’t started yet, there's still time. The final batch of the IMS CATapult Live Online Program for CAT 2024 starts in August, offering a chance to complete the syllabus and be exam-ready.
