Hello,

If your CAT admit card DOB is different from your Aadhaar card DOB, here is what you should do step by step:

  • Check CAT Admit Card Instructions
  • Contact CAT Helpdesk Immediately
  • Carry Supporting Documents - On exam day, carry Aadhaar card plus another ID proof (like PAN card, Passport, or School Certificate) to avoid issues.

If the error is in Aadhaar, apply for correction at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.

If the error is in CAT application/admit card, only IIM CAT authorities can correct it. That’s why contacting them is essential.

Hello,

Since the CAT application form correction window is closed, you must contact the CAT help desk immediately to explain the situation, as you can't edit a wrong date of birth after submission. If it's a major error like date of birth, you may need to go to the exam center with proof and the correct admit card, although getting it corrected before the exam date is the most important first step.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hi there,

You have to apply separately for each symbiosis college, like SIBM Pune, as they as not automatically included. The CAT form automatically includes many IIMs, but the SNAP exam is a separate test that is given for admission to Symbiosis Institute, which requires its own separate application and fee.

Hope it helps!!!
