There is no change whatsoever in the registration process and the candidates have to follow the process as advised on CAT 2014 site. They have to register first with their mail id and then go to existing user login icon to proceed with the registration process.

The most important aspect is that the candidates should keep all their details ready to complete the registration process as fast as possible.
