How the CAT answer key works

1. Response sheet: a few days after the exam, the IIMs release your recorded responses along with a provisional answer key.
2. Objection window: candidates can challenge specific keys (usually for a small fee) within a short window.
3. Final answer key: after reviewing objections, the IIMs publish the final key used for scoring.
4. Score & percentile: raw scores are normalised across slots into scaled scores, then converted to percentiles for the results in early January.

FAQs

When is the CAT answer key released?

The IIMs typically release the candidate response sheet and a provisional answer key a few days after the exam (early–mid December), open a short objection window, then publish the final answer key before results in early January.

How do I use the CAT response sheet?

Match your responses against the answer key to compute your raw score (+3 per correct, −1 per wrong MCQ; no negative for TITA). Then estimate your percentile and college chances — you do not have to wait for the official scorecard to start planning.
