With a few enhancements to the processes related to outreach and registration for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2022, initiated by IIM Bangalore, the convenor institute, and the CAT committee, there has been an increase of 11 percent in overall registrations and 6 percent in category candidates' registrations.

For the first time, there were digital campaigns to create awareness about the opening of CAT 2022 applications and on the extension of the deadline in order to reach a younger and targeted demographic.

Announcements of CAT 2022 were released in publications in the Northeast and in all Union Territories. Test centres have also been set up in new locations - Northeast (Manipur, Tripura, etc.) and Union Territories (Lakshadweep, Dadra, Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, Ladakh and Leh). Two payment gateways were provided for CAT 2022. This allowed the students to experience hassle-free registration.

This year, a non-IIM registration facility has been provided on the CAT website. Non-IIM institution logos have also been placed on the CAT website to enhance their visibility.

CAT 2022 will be conducted in test centres in 150 test cities in the country. Candidates have been given the option to select any six test cities in order of their preference. Candidates must declare and maintain a valid and unique e-mail account and a mobile phone number throughout the selection process.

The computer-based test will be conducted on November 27, 2022, in three separate sessions. Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension, Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Ability will be assessed in the CAT 2022 exam.
