The online registration for Common Admission Test began on August 09, 2017. As per the initial notice, the registration window was supposed to close on September 20, 2017, at 5:00 pm. However, IIM Lucknow has extended the last date for form submitting until September 25, 2017.

Candidates will need it even after the exam so it should be preserved safely.

IIM Lucknow might also provide an opportunity to make corrections in the application form, in the month of October 2017.
