The results for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025 are set to be announced today, December 24, 2025. According to the official CAT portal, the login link for candidates to access and download their final scorecards will be activated from 6:00 PM onwards on the official website, iimcat.ac.in.
This announcement follows the earlier release of the final answer key on December 17, 2025, marking the conclusion of the evaluation process for this year's MBA entrance exam. Conducted by the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Kozhikode, the CAT 2025 exam took place on November 30, 2025, and saw approximately 2.58 lakh candidates participate.

Step 5. Download the scorecard as a PDF and take a printout for future reference during the admission process.

Understanding CAT 2025 Scorecard
The CAT 2025 scorecard is a comprehensive document that contains more than just the overall percentile. It includes the following key details:
The scores are normalized to ensure fairness, accounting for any variations in difficulty across the different exam slots. This process converts raw scores into scaled scores, which are then used to calculate the final percentile.
Next Stages of Selection
Candidates who meet the shortlisting criteria will be called for subsequent rounds, which include the Written Ability Test (WAT), Group Discussion (GD), and Personal Interview (PI). The final selection is based on a composite score that considers CAT performance, academic profile, work experience, and performance in WAT-GD-PI.
IIM Kozhikode has maintained a transparent evaluation process for CAT 2025. Prior to the results, candidates had access to their individual response sheets and provisional answer keys starting December 4, 2025. An objection window was open from December 8 to December 10, 2025, allowing candidates to challenge any discrepancies for a fee of Rs 1,200 per objection, which is refunded if the challenge is upheld. The final answer key, released on December 17, incorporated valid objections before the final scores were computed.
