Common Admission Test, CAT Result 2025 is eagerly awaited. Nearly 3 lakh candidates have appeared for the examination conducted by Indian Institute of Management, IIM Kozhikode on November 30. The final answer key was released on December 17, raising expectation for a quick result declaration.
While many news sites are claiming that the result will release ‘soon’, students may please note that it is unlikely that the CAT Result will release today – December 20, 2025. As per the information available as well as past trends, CAT Result will be released in December.
CAT Result 2025 Date
Earlier, CAT Result was released by January 4 or 5th. This trend, however, has changed over the past few years. Since 2022, IIMs have been releasing the CAT Result by third week of December.
Notably, over the past three years, the CAT Result has been released exactly 25 days from the day of the exam. As per that trend, it can be suggested that this year CAT Result is likely to be released on December 25.
It being Christmas and a holiday, IIM Kozhikode may choose to release the results a day prior or maybe a day after the intended day. The expected release date is December 24, 2025. Candidates are advised to keep a check on the official website iimcat.ac.in. Check out the past exam date and result trend in table below.
