**Kolkata, India** – The Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) are expected to release the results for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2024 imminently. The exam, conducted by IIM Calcutta on November 24th, saw a participation of 2.93 lakh candidates out of 3.29 lakh registered. The final answer key was released on December 17th.

Candidates can access their results via the official IIM CAT website, iimcat.ac.in, using their registration number and password. The website will also provide a downloadable scorecard.

While the exact release date remains unannounced, speculation points to an imminent release. Past trends indicate that results are usually released in mid-to-late December. In the past five years, results were released on:

* **CAT 2023:** December 21, 2023
* **CAT 2022:** December 21, 2022
* **CAT 2021:** January 3, 2022
* **CAT 2020:** January 2, 2021
* **CAT 2019:** January 4, 2020

The CAT exam, a crucial step for admission to MBA programs across India, consists of three sections: Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC), Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DILR), and Quantitative Aptitude (Quant). Each correct answer carries 3 marks, with a penalty of 1 mark for each incorrect answer.

Following the release of results, IIMs will utilize percentile scores and cut-offs to shortlist candidates for further rounds, including Group Discussions (GD) and Personal Interviews (PI). Final admission decisions will be based on overall performance.

Last year’s results showed a dominance of engineering graduates among top scorers. This trend is expected to be closely monitored this year as well. The anticipation amongst the nearly 3 lakh candidates is high, and updates will be available on Jansatta.com.
