Filled wrong 10 percentage in CAT application form

Asked by Aditi Mehta on 2026-09-29 in General MBA Doubts

I am from ssc maharashtra board where best of 5 is calculated. In my cat application I filled the percentage which was given on my marksheet, as I didn't know we have to recalculate the percentage for all subjects
The application is closed now I cannot fill new form nor I can change my score.
What can be the next step

tbh no idea the correction window opens on 5th oct but i guess during that time also you cannot change your class 10th 12th and grad marks as they are locked. maybe you can try contacting the cat helpline :

dont panic. this happens a lot and its not a dealbreaker. iims verify your 10th percentage from your original marksheet at the interview stage, so what you filled in the form doesnt directly go into the profile scoring. the marksheet is the final proof, they will use the correct percentage as per iim norms.

if you get called for interviews, just carry your original marksheet and be ready to explain calmly that you filled what was printed on it. no one will hold this against you. focus on your cat score now, thats what actually matters. dont get demotivated!
