    CAT 2025 Answer Key Objection Window: How to Raise?

    As mentioned above, once the CAT 2025 answer key is out, all candidates will be able to raise objections, in case they have any. Check out the following steps, which will guide you on raising objections.

    • Visit the official CAT website, iimcat.ac.in

    • Log in using your CAT ID and password

    • Go to the “Objection Form / Challenge Key” section under your account dashboard.

    • Next, for each question you wish to challenge, you will need to enter the question ID/number, select the nature of the objection, and provide an explanation (if allowed).

    • Lastly, you will need to pay the objection fee, which is Rs. 1200 per question. After all of this is done, you will need to submit the CAT 2025 objection form.

    What Happens After CAT 2025 Objections are Raised?

    After the objections have been raised, the exam authorities will review all submitted objections. If an objection is accepted (i.e. the original answer key was flawed), the correct answer will be updated in the final key. For a valid objection, the objection fee (Rs. 1,200 per question) is generally refunded.

    After review, the final answer key will be issued, which will mention the final raw scores and percentile calculations based on that answer key.

    Note: As per policy, re-evaluation of the full response sheet is not allowed. Only challenges through the objection process will be considered.
