IIM Kozhikode confirmed on December 3, 2025, that the CAT 2025 answer key and response sheet would be made available today. Once released, candidates can log in using their CAT ID and password to download the documents.
This year, the answer key release and challenge process has undergone a significant change. Previously, the CAT answer key objection window opened on the same day as the response sheet release. However, for CAT 2025, the objection window will open after four days, giving candidates additional time to review their responses.
