The final CAT 2020 answer key is unlikely to be released as the objections raised by candidates have been found to be invalid.
IIMCAT published the following statements on their official website, “The objections received against questions in CAT 2020 were carefully examined by the expert panels. The answer key remains unchanged after careful examination of the various objections that had been received and examined by the expert panel”.
IIM Kozhikode released the preliminary CAT answer key along with the question paper and the objection form on November 29, 2020. The window to raise an objection to the official response sheet was opened from December 4 to 6, till 5:00 pm, by paying an amount of Rs. 1000 as fees. Once the window to challenge CAT answer key closes, no request for the same will be entertained. The revised CAT answer key will be released after taking into consideration objections filed by candidates. The CAT result 2020 will be announced by January 6, 2020.
