Hey everyone, need some help regarding the CAT 2026 form.
I’m currently enrolled in the Five-Year Integrated Programme in Journalism (FYIPJ) at Delhi School of Journalism, University of Delhi.
The programme has a 3-year exit option, after which I’ll be awarded a Bachelor of Journalism (BJ). I intend to exit after 3 years rather than continue for the full 5 years.
I’m confused about how to fill the First Bachelor’s Degree Details section in the CAT form:
Total duration of degree: Should I put 3 years or 5 years? Final year of Bachelor's: Should I select Yes, since I’ll complete my BJ after 3 years? 5-year integrated course: Should I select Yes, since FYIPJ itself is a 5-year integrated programme? Probable completion date: Should this be the date I complete the 3-year BJ? University/Institute: University of Delhi/Delhi University isn't appearing in the dropdown. Should I select Others and enter University of Delhi manually? What should I select for Degree Name / Discipline / Graduation Stream?
If anyone from DU/DSJ, FYIPJ, or another integrated programme with an exit option has filled the CAT form, I'd really appreciate knowing what you selected.
Thanks! 🙏

I think since you’re exiting after 3 years and getting a Bachelor’s degree u should fill the details based on the 3 year BJ not the full 5 year programme for the exact options like degree name stream check the CAT helpdesk once I did grad from DU and entered Delhi in university section
