IIM Calcutta Issues Warning About Fake CAT 2024 Website - Students Urged to Be Cautious!

The Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIM Calcutta), the convening body for CAT 2024, has issued a crucial warning regarding a fraudulent website posing as the official portal for CAT registration. The official statement emphasises that the only authentic website for CAT 2024 is iimcat.ac.in, and any other website claiming to be associated with CAT is fraudulent.

To protect themselves, candidates should:

• Always verify the URL to ensure it is the official CAT website.
• Be cautious of unsecured websites asking for personal details or payments.
