Official CAT Answer Key Date 2023: Know when IIM CAT official key is expected
As IIM Lucknow has not declared the official CAT answer key date 2023, check out here the expected date as per the trends of the previous years (mentioned below for reference).
Official CAT Answer Key Date 2023: Previously, IIM Lucknow has conducted CAT in 2017 and in 2010. In 2017, the answer key was released after 11 days of the exam and in 2010, it was after 10 days. Hence, it can be expected that this year too, the CAT 2023 official answer key will be released within 10 to 12 days of the exam i.e., most likely between December 6 to 8, 2023. However, in 2022, the answer key was released within a span of 4 days and if IIM Lucknow follows this timeline now, the answer key may also be released earlier within the first week of December 2023.
Along with the answer key, IIM Lucknow will also release the response sheets so that candidates can cross-check their answers and calculate their raw scores. For a reference for CAT 2023 expected marks vs percentile analysis, refer to the link here: CAT 2023 Percentile Score.
