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.

Questions related to CAT

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CAT ?

If you filled the UGC NET form under EWS but you don’t have a valid EWS certificate, then forget using the EWS category. They won’t accept it. You’ll automatically be treated as General category during document verification.


And no, this won’t make your form “invalid” or “illegal.” It just means you won’t get the EWS benefit.


So yes — you can still go for General category posts and Professor recruitment. Just don’t try to submit a fake/invalid certificate; that will get you disqualified.

Hello,
If your CAT admit card shows your surname first followed by your first name as entered in the form, it is correct. You do not need to worry about this format as long as it matches the details you provided. Ensure all other information on the admit card is accurate and carry it to the exam along with the required identification documents.
Hope this helps you.

Hello,

If your CAT admit card has a different date of birth than your Aadhaar card, you should get it corrected immediately . Here’s what you can do:

  1. Check the CAT website : Log in to your candidate portal and look for the option to correct personal details.

  2. Contact the CAT helpdesk : Email or call them explaining the issue. Attach a copy of your Aadhaar card as proof.

  3. Do not ignore it : The date of birth must match your ID, otherwise you may face problems at the exam or during admission.

Usually, the CAT authorities allow corrections before the exam, so act quickly.

Hope it helps !
