CUSAT CAT Important Dates
CUSAT CAT 2026: Important Dates. 2026 information reviewed on 25 September; retain the stated verification limits.
Current status on 25 September 2026
The 2026 test and main rank publication have already taken place. The official archive records UG and PG rank lists on 11 June, B.Tech option registration beginning on 16 June, and later allotment and real-time admission activities. The fourth B.Tech real-time admission was scheduled for 10 September following a separate registration on 7 September. These dates are historical, not upcoming opportunities at the time of this review.
The current admissions homepage carries a notice dated 25 September allowing admitted students to apply through their profiles for a refund of excess fees paid, if any, by 30 September 2026. This concerns excess payment. It must not be presented as a new general deadline for withdrawing from regular B.Tech with a full admission-fee refund.
