Will CAT 2017 registration date be extended?

Will IIM Lucknow extend CAT 2017 Registration last date from Sep 20? Know the reasons & implications

IIM Lucknow has not announced any extension in the CAT 2017 registration last date which is scheduled to close today on September 20, 2017 at 5PM. Since it is the last day for CAT 2017 registration and is also your last chance to apply to IIM admission 2018, you need to finalize your CAT 2017 registration before 5PM despite all the odds including any technical glitches.

CAT aspirants raising query…
On the other hand, CAT 2017 aspirants are raising their query whether there is any possibility of IIM Lucknow extending the CAT 2017 registration last date for few more days. So far the CAT 2017 convener Prof Neeraj Dwivedi, faculty and admission chair at IIM Lucknow, has not responded to this query. Although it is difficult to predict now whether the CAT 2017 registration last date would be extended, the past trends of last few years speak of a different story.

IIMs extended CAT Registration date in past: Last 3 years trends
Going by the last 3 years trends in CAT registration dates, it can be predicted that the CAT 2017 last date to apply can be extended by 4-5 days by IIM Lucknow. In fact, prior to the CAT year 2014, the CAT registration last date was seldom extended.

But, with the take-over of CAT exam by TCS from Prometric in 2014, it has become a yearly practice followed by CAT convening IIMs to extend or reopen the CAT registration for few more days. IIM Indore, the CAT 2014 convener reopened the CAT registration after the last date; IIM Ahmedabad, the CAT 2015 convener extended the CAT last date to apply; IIM Bangalore, the CAT 2016 convener also extended the CAT registration date by 5 days.
