Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kozhikode will soon release the answer key and individual response sheets for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025 . This is an important update for all students who appeared for the national-level entrance exam on November 30, 2025 . Candidates will be able to download these documents from the official CAT website, iimcat.ac.in .
The CAT exam is a gateway for admission to Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs in prestigious institutions across India, including the IIMs. The release of the answer key and response sheet is a crucial step for candidates to assess their performance before the final results are declared.
The CAT 2025 answer key is expected to be released within **2 to 3 days** after the exam date. Reports suggest that the question paper for CAT 2025 was considered easier compared to previous years. Both the answer key and the candidate response sheet will be made available only through the official website.
The answer key contains the correct answers to all questions asked in the exam. The response sheet, on the other hand, shows the specific answers marked by each candidate during their exam. By comparing their marked answers with the official answer key, students can calculate their probable scores. This helps them get an early idea of how well they performed.
After the answer key is released, students are usually given a short period to raise objections against any answer they believe is incorrect. This process allows candidates to challenge answers by paying a small fee. If an objection is found to be valid, the answer key may be updated before the final results.
