CAT Objection Window 2025, Last Date, How to Raise, Fees

CAT Objection Window 2025: The CAT answer key has been released and if you feel that any question or answer is incorrect, then you can raise an objection. To do this, IIM Kozhikode has opened the CAT 2025 objection window. We are here to guide you in the objection-filling process. Also, in the following sections, you can find the opening date for the CAT answer key objection window. Let’s get into the details.

CAT Answer Key Objection Window Dates

The CAT answer key objection window is a short but important time frame. You get only two and a half days to raise all objections, so you should prepare early.

IIM Kozhikode has confirmed the following schedule:

EventDate & Time
Answer Key ReleaseDecember 4, 2025
Objection Window OpensDecember 8, 2025, 12:00 PM
Objection Window ClosesDecember 10, 2025, 11:55 PM
  1. You should download your CAT response sheet and compare each answer with the provisional key before December 8 to save time.
  2. Also, you can calculate your percentile through the CAT score calculator before the official results.

What Is The CAT Answer Key Objection Process?

The objection process is a system created to ensure fairness for all CAT aspirants. The CAT conducting body allows you to challenge any question if the answer provided in the provisional key is incorrect.

  • However, when you raise an objection, a team of experts checks your claim. If your objection is valid, the answer key gets corrected, and the objection fee is refunded.
  • If your objection is not accepted, then the fee is not refunded.
  • You can raise objections to any number of questions. But each question should be paid differently.
  • This process improves transparency and ensures every student receives a fair score.

Note: Cracku has raised the objection Slot 1 Log question. We are hoping that they will correct it soon.

Who Can Raise An Objection For The CAT Answer Key?

Any candidate who has appeared for CAT 2025 can raise objections. You only need your CAT login ID, password, and valid supporting documents.

Note: This provision was first introduced in 2018 and has helped thousands of students every year.

CAT Answer Key Objection Fee And Payment Details

The CAT objection fee is ₹1500 per question. You must pay this fee for every objection you submit. The payment is done online through the portal using debit card, credit card, or net banking.

  • The objection fee for each question is ₹1500, which must be paid during the submission step.
  • The objection fee will be refunded only when your objection is accepted by the official review panel.
  • Your Refund is usually processed within five working days after the authority releases the final answer key.
  • The fee is non-refundable when your objection is rejected, so ensure your claim is strong and accurate.
  • You can raise multiple objections, and the total amount will increase based on the number of questions.

Common Mistakes To Avoid While Raising CAT Answer Key Objections

Raising objections needs careful attention because you cannot make changes afterward. Avoiding common mistakes can save you time and money.

  • Do not raise objections without checking solutions from at least two reliable sources to confirm accuracy.
  • Avoid uploading unclear documents because the panel may reject your objection due to missing evidence.
  • Do not submit objections after the deadline because the portal will close automatically at midnight.
  • Avoid raising objections for every doubtful question because unnecessary objections only waste your effort.

Do not write long, confusing remarks because the reviewers need short, clear explanations that show accuracy.
