The CAT 2026 examination is expected to take place on November 28 or 29, 2026, following the usual pattern of holding the test on the last Sunday of November. Although the official notification will likely be released around July 2026, past trends over the years strongly suggest this schedule.
The Common Admission Test (CAT) is organized every year by one of the leading Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) on a rotational basis. Each year, a different IIM takes responsibility for conducting the exam.
