The results for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025 are expected to be released very soon. Students who took the exam can look for their scores and the final answer key on the official website, iimcat.ac.in . While IIM Kozhikode , the exam organizer, has not given an exact date, past trends suggest the results might come out by December 19 or 20, 2025 . This means students should be ready to check their results this week.
Along with the results, the final answer key for CAT 2025 is also expected to be released. This key will have any changes to answers that were made after students raised objections to the provisional answer key that came out earlier. The CAT exam was held on November 30, 2025 , across India in three different time slots.

What to Expect with CAT 2025 Scores
Experts believe the CAT 2025 exam was of moderate difficulty. Because of this, the minimum scores needed to get into IIMs and other top business schools (known as CAT cut-offs ) might be higher this year. Students should prepare for the next stages of admission, which usually involve group discussions and personal interviews, as soon as their results are out.
