CAT 2026 Form: Eligibility, Documents Required & OBC/EWS Certificate Rules

CAT 2026 notification is expected around July-end, and CAT 2026 registration may start around August 2026. But before filling the CAT form, every aspirant must keep the right documents ready. In this video, I explain the complete CAT 2026 form-filling requirements, including CAT eligibility, documents required for CAT registration, category certificate rules, NC-OBC certificate validity, EWS certificate validity, SC/ST certificate details, work experience rules, photo and signature upload, and the difference between CAT eligibility and IIM shortlisting eligibility. Many students make mistakes while filling the CAT application form, especially in category selection, NC-OBC/EWS certificate upload, CGPA conversion, and work experience details. These mistakes can create serious problems during IIM shortlisting, interview, or final admission verification.

For CAT, graduation is the basic requirement. For General, EWS and NC-OBC candidates, minimum 50% marks are required. For SC, ST and PwD candidates, minimum 45% marks are required. Final-year students can also apply. NC-OBC and EWS candidates should not depend on old certificates. Work experience should be full-time and after graduation only. Internship, articleship, part-time work and pre-graduation work-ex should not be counted. Before CAT 2026 registration starts, keep your 10th marksheet, 12th marksheet, graduation marksheets, CGPA conversion rule, category certificate, PwD certificate, photo, signature and work-ex documents ready. #CAT2026 #CATRegistration #CATEligibility #IIMAdmission #MBAEntrance
