The Common Admission Test 2025 final answer keys will be published by the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode, the organising institute, on December 17, 2025. The scorecards and results are expected to be issued later. CAT 2025 was held in various sessions on November 30, 2025.
On top of that, it has been recorded that 187 objections were raised in total for the three sections that are VARC, DILR, and QA related to all three shifts of the examination during this time frame. IIM Kozhikode, after publishing the provisional answer keys, provided a time window for filing objections formally from December 8 to December 10. Candidates were allowed to challenge the differences they found.
CAT 2025 Final Answer: Section-wise Objection Details
IIM Kozhikode has stated that every objection was thoroughly considered by the expert committees that were specially constituted for CAT 2025. After a detailed scrutiny, only one challenge, i.e., the one in the Quantitative Ability section of Shift 1, was accepted. The rest of the dissenting voices were turned down, and no changes were allowed for any other questions in different sections or shifts.
The institute, therefore, reminds that the final answer keys will be made available on December 17 and will be the official reference for the evaluation of the answers and preparing the CAT 2025 results, which will be released later.
Refer to the table given below for gaining an understanding of the various objections raised by the test takers across various sections of the CAT 2025. The final answer key will be released today on December 18, 2025.
