The Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode (IIM Kozhikode) has officially released the hall tickets for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025. Aspirants can now download their admit cards from the official website, iimcat.ac.in, marking a critical milestone in their MBA admission journey.
How to Download Your CAT 2025 Admit Card
Candidates must use their existing login ID and password to access their admit cards. The simple step-by-step process involves visiting the official CAT website, clicking on the admit card link for the 2025 session, and entering the required credentials, such as the registration number and password. Once submitted, the admit card can be downloaded and printed for future reference.
The admit card is a mandatory document for entry into the examination hall. It contains vital information, including the candidate's exam date, specific session timing, and the designated test centre city. Students are strongly advised to verify all these details carefully as soon as they download the document.
CAT 2025 Exam Date and Key Details
The CAT 2025 examination is scheduled to be held on November 30, 2025. The test will be conducted in three separate sessions across numerous designated centres located throughout the country.
This year, the registration numbers show a significant level of competition, with approximately 2.95 lakh candidates having registered for the high-stakes exam. The test itself will be a two-hour assessment, rigorously evaluating candidates across three core sections: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Ability (QA).
Preparation Resources and Security Measures
To help candidates acclimatize to the exam environment, IIM Kozhikode will release an official mock test on its website starting November 12. This mock test features sample questions and is designed to familiarize aspirants with the actual exam format and computer interface.
Regarding exam integrity, the IIMs have announced enhanced security protocols. This includes the deployment of mobile jammers at select test locations to prevent any form of malpractice and ensure a fair examination process for all participants.
For context, in the previous year's CAT 2024, a total of 293,000 candidates appeared for the exam. The provisional answer keys were released on December 3, followed by the final keys on December 17, with the results being declared on December 19.
It is important for candidates to remember that while the CAT score is a crucial component, each IIM is independent and may use other criteria like academic history, work experience, and other inputs in their final selection process.
