**New Delhi, [Date of Publication]** – The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta announced the results of the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2024 today, with scorecards now available online. A total of approximately 2.39 lakh candidates appeared for the exam held on November 24, 2024, across 389 test centers nationwide.

This year, 29 students achieved a perfect 99.99 percentile, while 30 scored 99.98 percentile. The final answer key was released on December 17, 2024.

Candidates can access their scorecards by visiting the official website, iimcat.ac.in, and logging in using their CAT ID and password. The website also provides detailed instructions on how to calculate percentile scores. Aspirants are cautioned against fraudulent websites and urged to use only the official IIM website.

The next stage involves individual IIMs releasing shortlists based on percentile scores and cutoff marks. Successful candidates will then proceed to the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. Final admission offers will be based on the overall performance across all stages. Experts predict higher cutoff scores this year due to the perceived easier difficulty of the exam.

The CAT 2024 exam was conducted in three shifts, each lasting 120 minutes with 40 minutes allotted per section. Provisional answer keys and response sheets were made available on December 3rd and November 29th, respectively. Candidates had until December 5th to raise objections.
