Overview
- CAT 2025 will be held on November 30 in three sessions for about 2.95 lakh candidates across roughly 170 cities, with results expected in early January 2026.
- Admit cards are available only via the official portal at iimcat.ac.in, and the IIMCAT mock test for registered candidates is active for pattern and timing practice.
- The exam comprises VARC, DILR and QA sections over 120 minutes with 40 minutes per section and no inter‑section switching, with candidates cautioned about negative marking.
- IIMs have announced tighter centre security, including selective use of mobile signal jammers, and warned that unfair means can lead to result cancellation.
- Guidance from experts and advisories urges last‑week revision over new topics, balanced full‑length and sectional practice, disciplined time management, and avoiding random guesses, with suspicious sites to be reported to cat2025_helpdesk@iimk.ac.in.
