Held in three separate slots, the exam followed a standard normalisation process to maintain uniformity and fairness in score calculation across all sessions.

How to Check CAT 2025 Results
To check the CAT 2025 result, candidates must visit the official website iimcat.ac.in and click on the candidate login link. After entering the required login details, the scorecard can be viewed and downloaded. It is strongly advised that candidates save and keep multiple copies of the scorecard, as it will be required during subsequent admission and interview stages.
Role of CAT Percentile in MBA Admissions
The CAT 2025 percentile will be a decisive factor in the admission process for the Indian Institutes of Management and other participating management schools. Candidates must meet the minimum cut-off percentile set by individual IIMs to qualify for the next phase of selection, which generally includes the Written Ability Test (WAT) and Personal Interview (PI).
Selection Criteria Beyond CAT Scores
While CAT scores form the foundation of the selection process, each IIM follows its own admission policy and weightage system. In addition to CAT performance, institutes evaluate candidates based on academic records, work experience, academic and gender diversity, and overall composite scores derived from performance across all stages, including interviews. This holistic approach ensures the selection of well-rounded candidates for management education.
