Understanding Your CAT 2025 Response Sheet
Along with the provisional answer key, IIM Kozhikode also released the CAT 2025 response sheet. This sheet provides specific details for each candidate. It includes the candidate’s name, registration number, and test date. It also lists each question ID and the candidate’s recorded response for that question.
CAT 2025 Marking Scheme
The CAT 2025 exam follows a specific marking scheme. Candidates receive marks for correct answers. Marks are deducted for incorrect responses. There is no penalty for unattempted questions.
| Action | Marks Awarded/Deducted |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | +3 marks |
| Incorrect Answer | -1 mark |
| Unattempted Question | 0 marks |
Calculating Your Probable CAT 2025 Score
Candidates can use the provisional answer key and their response sheet to calculate their probable score. For example, if a candidate answers 30 questions correctly and 10 questions incorrectly:
- Correct Answers Score: 30 x 3 = 90 marks
- Incorrect Answers Penalty: 10 x (-1) = -10 marks
- Total Probable Score: 90 – 10 = 80 marks
After the objection window closes, IIM Kozhikode will review all submitted objections. Following this review, IIM will release the final CAT answer key. The official CAT 2025 results will be announced alongside or after the final answer key. Candidates can then use their final CAT score to assess their admission chances to IIMs and other top MBA colleges in India.
