All registered candidates must attend their most recently scheduled session and bring along their most recent Admit Card on test day. Candidates are also encouraged to watch the Test Day Procedures video on www.catiim.in before coming for the test.
Reporting for the Test
Candidates must bring:
1. CAT 2011 Admit Card
2. One original and valid (not expired) photo identification
In addition, Scheduled Caste / Scheduled Tribe (SC/ST) candidates will also need to bring a valid document as proof of SC/ST eligibility.
Differently Abled (DA) candidates requiring support during the test must also bring along an authorisation from Prometric and photo identification of a scribe if applicable.
Acceptable forms of photo identification:
Driver's license, Passport, PAN Card, Voter ID, College ID (supported with a valid ATM/Debit/Credit Card with your name), Employee identification card, or a notarised Affidavit with Photo, Signature, Date of Birth and Residential Address. Photocopies of the original are not acceptable. If in doubt, bring a notorised Affidavit.
Candidates will not be permitted to take the test if valid photo identification or Admit Card is not presented. If your name has been changed due to events such as marriage, you must show the documents such as Marriage Certificate, Divorce Decree, Legal Name Change etc. and submit a photocopy at the time of the test, interview and at the time of joining a programme.
You will be required to keep any small personal items in a bag which will be stored away from the testing area. Candidates will not be permitted to take anything into the testing area, including but not limited to wrist-watch, pen, cellphones, calculators, etc. Do not bring bags, valuables or any large items to the test centre as Prometric will not be able to store these for you.
Getting to your Test Centre
Maps and directions to each test centre are available on www.catiim.in. Ensure you allow for sufficient travel time. It might also be advisable to make a trip to your allocated test centre a day or two earlier to familiarise yourself with the location, travel time and traffic conditions. Look out for signs and staff wearing official IIM CAT jackets to assist you once you arrive.
Security at the Test Centre
Identity checks will be made upon arrival at the test centre to ensure that there are no unauthorised candidates and that you are at the right test location on the right day and time. Please be patient, get in line and await your turn. Only registered CAT 2011 candidates will be allowed into the test centre. Friends or relatives who accompany you to the test centre are not allowed to wait in the test centre or be in contact with you while you take the test.
After security checks, you will proceed to check-in for your test. Only your Admit Card, photo identification, SC/ST certificate (if applicable) and DA Scribe Document (if applicable) will be allowed to be brought in beyond this point. The check-in procedure includes your image and fingerprint capture. This is a security feature which will allow the IIMs to verify your identity should they call you up for an interview after your results are announced. Once escorted to your designated lab (indicated by the site code on your Admit Card) and assigned workstation, a Test Centre Administrator (TCA) will sign you in. Your image will appear on the computer screen once you’re signed in. You may have to wait in your seat for some time for all candidates to be signed in. During this time, if you need to visit the restroom, please inform the TCA. Your Admit Card and photo identification will be checked when you are escorted back to your workstation so carry that with you at all times. Note that no further restroom breaks will be allowed 30 minutes prior to the test time or during the test.
The lab door will close 30 minutes before the start of the test. Two pencils, an eraser and scratch paper will be distributed to each candidate. Listen to the TCA’s instructions to begin the test. During the test, you may use the scratch paper to do your calculations. Each workstation will be blocked on three sides – front, left and right. Do not look around at other candidates as there will be surveillance cameras that record both audio and video. Any suspicious or disruptive behaviour could lead to your test being invalidated by the IIMs. For any issues during the test, raise your hand to notify a TCA. A technician will also be on stand-by at every site. In case of any major disruptions, rest assured that if you are a registered candidate, you will get to test within the testing window. All scratch paper must be returned to the TCA after the test. Any attempt to take away the scratch papers out of test centers will be considered as disruptive behaviour and liable for disqualification.
