CAT result 2025 Live Update: Result expected soon as IIM Kozhikode releases final answer key at iimcat.ac.in

CAT Result 2025 Live Update: CAT 2025 result is now being closely tracked by management aspirants nationwide, as the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode prepares for the next major announcement in the admission cycle. With the CAT 2025 objection process now complete, the release of the final answer key is expected shortly, bringing candidates one step closer to their results and percentile scores.

IIM Kozhikode, which conducted CAT 2025, released the provisional answer key and individual response sheets on December 4. This allowed candidates across all three exam slots to assess their performance and calculate tentative scores. The provisional key also opened the objection window, which remained active from December 8 to December 10. During this period, candidates were allowed to challenge specific questions by submitting formal objections along with justifications and supporting documents.

The final answer key will be released after all objections are reviewed by subject experts. Once published, it becomes non-challengeable and serves as the official reference for score normalisation and percentile calculation. Any revisions made at this stage, including corrections to answers or withdrawal of questions, will be incorporated directly into candidates’ final scores.

The CAT 2025 final answer key will be available on the official website, iimcat.ac.in. Candidates will need to log in using their CAT registration credentials to access the document. The final key is typically released in PDF format and may or may not be accompanied by updated response sheets.

The release of the final answer key is considered the final technical checkpoint before CAT 2025 results are announced. Using this key, IIM Kozhikode will compute scaled scores and apply the normalisation process across exam slots to ensure fairness.

Once CAT 2025 results are declared, individual Indian Institutes of Management and other participating business schools will begin releasing their shortlisting criteria for the next stages of admission. These include Written Ability Tests, Group Discussions, and Personal Interviews, which form a crucial part of the MBA selection process.

As candidates await official confirmation on the result timeline, they are advised to monitor the CAT website regularly and avoid unverified claims circulating on social media or coaching platforms. For many aspirants, the CAT 2025 result will determine the trajectory of their management education journey, making this a critical phase in one of India’s most competitive entrance examinations.
