There were thousands of CAT 2014 takers who found that their Admit cards contained discrepancy in their Date of Birth or Gender. They were not able to edit and rectify the same as the correction fields were not open for rectification. Number of complaints were received at CAT Centre 2014 requesting it to open the profile rectification window but CAT Centre 2014 didn’t allow the changes in all the profile details and categorically stated “Candidate may change only Date of Birth and/or Gender if it is currently showing incorrectly. No other fields will be editable. This is clearly mentioned as point number 12 on your Admit Card.”
However this facility of rectification was postponed and the dates were changed with the editing date starting from Nov 27 in place of Nov 25, 2014, and closing date fixed to Dec 3 instead of Nov 28, 2014. The provision to edit these details was also mentioned on the Admit Card of the CAT 2014 test taker at point number 12. But CAT Centre 2014 has now postponed and changed the editing dates in Gender and date of Birth.
Only 2 days available
There are only 2 days available to rectify the discrepancy now. If you have not rectified the discrepancy till now, you should do it as the last minute technical glitches may not be ruled out. CAT Centre 2014 has clarified that the candidates can now rectify the discrepancies in Date of Birth and Gender w e f 12 PM on Nov 27 to 12PM on December 3, 2014.
