CAT 2020 Result

CAT 2020 result was announced unprecedently on January 2. Although the CAT 2020 convening institute IIM Indore had not declared the exact date of result declaration, it was expected that CAT scorecards will be released by January 5. 

CAT 2020 exam was conducted on November 29 in three shifts. Out of 2.30 lakh applicants over 1.90 lakh appeared in the exam. The first slot (8:30 AM to 10:30 AM) of CAT exam recorded the least attendance. The CAT 2020 answer key was released on December 8. Candidates who had appeared for the exam, could download their CAT answer key with response sheet and question paper till December 11. The final CAT 2020 answer key was released on December 30 with just one revision. An answer of a question from QA section of Shift 2 exam was revised.

CAT 2020 Result Highlights

  • Nine candidates scored an overall 100 percentile in the CAT 2020 examination. All nine 100 percentilers are male candidates.
  • Seven out of nine 100 percentilers are from Engineering background, one is from Mathematics background and one is from Management background.

This year, IIM Indore had been given the responsibility to conduct the national level entrance exam. The institute ensured that the exam is conducted on time and with safety amid COVID-19 pandemic. However, many students seemed a bit unhappy with the institute for not announcing beforehand, that the CAT question paper will have only 76 question. Some candidates were also upset with the delay in release of CAT answer key. IIM Indore is now expected to announce CAT 2020 result on time, so that the candidates can go ahead with MBA admissions.
