Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kozhikode has released the final answer key for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025 today, December 17, 2025 . This key is important for students who appeared for the exam on November 30, 2025 . With the final answer key now out, the CAT 2025 result is expected to be announced soon, likely by December 19, 2025 .

The CAT exam is a national-level test for students who want to get admission into MBA and other management programs offered by IIMs and many other business schools across India. The answer key helps students check their answers and estimate their scores before the official results.

What is the Final Answer Key?

The final answer key has been prepared after checking all the concerns raised by students. After the provisional (first) answer key was released, students had a chance to object to any answers they thought were wrong. Out of 187 objections received from candidates, IIM Kozhikode reviewed all of them carefully. Only one objection was found to be valid and accepted. The final answer key includes this corrected answer.

Students who raised objections had to pay a fee of INR 1500 for each question they objected to. The CAT 2025 final answer key is available on the official website, iimcat.ac.in. It shows the objections raised for each section and slot of the exam, along with the revised answers where changes were made.

Understanding CAT 2025 Score vs Percentile

Once the final answer key is out and the result date is near, students often look to understand how their raw score might translate into a percentile. A percentile shows how many students scored less than you in the exam. For example, a 99 percentile means you scored better than 99% of all test-takers.

Here is an estimated look at CAT 2025 scores and their corresponding percentiles:

Percentile Overall Score
99.9122
99.5103
9990
9881
9570
9053
8545
8040
7534

The CAT 2025 result, or scorecard, will be prepared based on this revised final answer key. Students will be able to download their scorecards from the official website, iimcat.ac.in, on or before December 19, 2025 . This scorecard will be crucial for applying to various MBA programs.
