How to Create a Unique Email ID for CAT 2025?

Candidates must have a valid email ID for CAT registration. Here are a few tips to create a unique ID:

• Use any reliable email provider, like Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.
• You can combine your full name, date of birth, year, and numbers; for example, john.smith2025@gmail.com
• Make sure the email ID is active till at least June 2026 for all official communications.

Note: Check your inbox and spam folders frequently to make sure you don’t miss any updates.

Why does a unique email matter for CAT 2025 Registration?

The email ID submitted during CAT 2025 registration will be used for all vital communication. Using a unique, personal, and secure email ID ensures you do not miss any OTPs or confirmations. With a unique personal email, you have full recovery control using your mobile number or backup email. You also minimize the risk of phishing or unauthorized login attempts.

Here are some mistakes to avoid while sharing the CAT email ID:

• Avoid using your work or institutional email address. They often auto-block bulk mailers or mark the mail as spam, leading to delays or failure to meet deadlines.
• Do not use shares or reused emails. There may be cross-login issues if multiple people access your CAT account simultaneously. Multiple OTPs going to one inbox may cause confusion, mistakes, and delays. It may also lead to the deletion of CAT emails.
• Do not use college-assigned email, as it may get deactivated after graduation or block attachments.

Note: Use 2-Step Verification (2FA) to protect your Gmail or Outlook account.

How to Create a Strong Password for CAT 2025?

While creating the CAT password, make it secure yet easy to remember for you. Here’s how you can create a strong password:

• Use at least 8 characters.
• Use uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
• Avoid common or predictable passwords like 123456 or password or abcd1234, or personal information.

Note: Write down your login credentials – User ID and password, or use a password manager for further use.
