CAT 2019: What to check in admit card

Spelling: Very basic but the foremost thing which can get your candidature rejected at the time of verification is an error in the spelling or your name or any other information in the admit card with the identity proof or certificates provided by the candidate. Applicants need to verify the spellings with their documents.

Venue and time: Not only should an admit card have information on the venue and time allotted for the exam, but candidates also need to verify these details for their own good. The venue allotted has to be one of the four choices selected by the candidates. Requests for change of exam centre is also entertained sometimes by the authorities if the reasons are fair.
