There is no point waiting till the late hours on October 10, 2014 for CAT 2014 registration as it may again pose technical problems due to rush on the site

CAT 2014 registration window is being reopened on October 10, 2014 for one day to accommodate all such candidates who couldn’t register and apply for CAT 2014. Number of candidates couldn’t apply during the 56 days registration window from Aug 6 to Sep 30, 2014. Till Sep 30, 2014 around 1.90 lakhs CAT 2014 aspirants registered and applied for CAT 2014.

 

A good number of aspirants who usually apply during the last days of registration window missed the opportunity either due to the fact that CAT 2014 registration window remained suspended from September 28 to September 29, 2014 or due to the last minute technical glitches. CAT 2014 convener Dr Rohit Kapoor reviewed the situation and took the bold and historic decision to reopen CAT 2014 registration window for one day. According to him “Based on the emails received from the affected candidates, we are opening the window for one day to apply and complete the registration and/or application”   

 

The last opportunity: Avoid the anticipated problems

 

In fact the reopening of CAT 2014 registration window, according to Prof S K Agarwal, expert on CAT preparation should not be viewed as an extension of registration date. The decision of CAT 2014 conducting IIM is generous to accommodate all such candidates who couldn’t register and apply for CAT 2014.

 

When the last days in CAT 2014 registration process had technical glitches and prevented the aspirants from registering and applying, the candidates might face similar technical or other problems on October 10, 2014 since the registration opens again only for one day. The entire residual rush of 56 days would be present only in a single day.
