i ha e alr3ady made the payment for cat form and i shows payment status as S, do i need to make another payment as it shows payment unsuccessful in cat form

Hello Aspirant,

Since your payment status shows "S" , it means your payment is successful. The "payment unsuccessful" message on the form is likely a temporary system error or a delay in updating.

Do not make another payment.

Making a second payment could cause a double debit, which is difficult to get a refund for. You should:

Wait 24-48 hours for the status to update automatically.
Download and save a copy of your form and a screenshot of the "S" payment status as proof.
Check your bank statement to confirm the money has been debited.
If the issue is not fixed after 48 hours, contact the official CAT helpdesk immediately with your transaction details.

I filled the CAT form the day before yesterday,and while making the payment,the page showed an error.However,the money was deducted from my acount,and I also received an email confirming my application submission.When I logged into the website again,I was able to downlaod the appication form,where the payment status was shown as "S" . But on the homepage,it is said that my application was saved, but the previous payment has failed,and I needed to go to the "Go to Application" section and there was an option to make the payment again.Could someone please tell me what I am supposed to do now?

Since your application shows payment status as “S” and you received a confirmation email, your payment likely went through.

Don’t pay again.
Take screenshots of your confirmation email, downloaded form, and bank transaction.
Immediately contact the official CAT helpdesk here:
https://iimcat.ac.in/cat2025/helpdesk.php
Attach all proof and explain the issue.
Wait for their reply to avoid paying twice.

can we make new user id and password with same mobile number but different email id in cat while my previous user id and password have wrong details (my name on ssc marksheet are not correct) and i do not submit initial actual form and nor do payment, i just creat user id and password

In CAT registration, you cannot create a new user ID with the same mobile number, even if you use a different email ID. Each mobile number and email can be linked to only one account. If you already registered once, the system will not accept a duplicate with that number. To register again, you must use a new mobile number and new email ID. If you lost your old login, you can recover it through the forgot password/user ID option on the CAT portal.

Please can anyone tell me can I fill form of cat, if had a backlog in 3rd semester and now I am in 5 semester of my graduation. how to fill aggregate marks of college in this case?

Yes, you can fill the CAT form even if you currently have a backlog. CAT eligibility requires you to be in your final year of graduation or already graduated backlogs don’t stop you from applying.

While filling the form:

Enter the aggregate percentage/CGPA of marks you have obtained up to the latest semester for which results are declared (in your case till 4th semester).
There will be an option to mention that you have a backlog.
If you clear the backlog later, you’ll just need to show the updated marks during admission.

Im in degree final year, I have one backlong in 2nd year 4th sem, how to apply for cat, what certificate should I provide, should I write that I have backlongs in final year student certificate,

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, you can apply for the CAT exam as a final-year student. You must declare your backlog on the online application form. You do not write about it on the final-year student certificate; that document is to certify your enrollment status. You must clear all backlogs before the final admission process to any MBA college.
