Hello Aspirant,

See if you have EWS certificate then definitely you can get EWS reservation benefits and you should apply under EWS quota for CAT 2022, but if you don't have EWS certificate then get it issued and then you can apply for CAT 2022 as the application has still not rolled out so by the time when application form will get released get your EWS certificate and then you will be good to go for EWS reservation benefits for CAT 2022.


When it will get released you can check out the steps given below for very simplified application process :-

Step 1 : Visit the official site which would be iimcat.ac.in

Step 4 : Now upload all the scanned documents enlisted below.

Step 5 : Pay the CAT 2022 registration fee.

Step 6 : Submit the completed CAT 2022 Registration form.

Step 7 :Download the CAT 2022 Application confirmation page for future references.
