Objection Review & Final Answer Key
Provisional answer keys were made available early in December and candidates could challenge any answers they felt were incorrect by raising their objections.
Most of the time only one of those 187 objections was accepted after a thorough review of experts for a change in the final answer key that has been incorporated now.
The procedure leading up to the final answer key release ensures the answer key is not only fair but also the most accurate solutions are provided. This serves as a reliable basis for all candidates to work out their scores before the announcement of results.
CAT 2025 Result: When and What to Expect?
The result for CAT 2025 is forthcoming very soon after the publication of the final answer key, as might be inferred from the current news reports and trend of previous years. The most probable date for the result announcement is December 19–20, 2025 or typically 1–2 days after the final key release.
Once the result is declared, the scorecard PDF will include:
- The Candidate’s scaled score in different sections (VARC, DILR, QA).
- The overall and section-wise percentile rank.
- Other information like the Registration Number, Slot Details, etc.
The best aspirants for MBA will be able to face the next hurdle, i.e., the selection process that includes WAT (Written Ability Test), PI (Personal Interview), and GD (Group Discussion) rounds at IIMs and other top B-schools, only after the results have been announced.
