Big Victory for Students! NTA Accepts 7 Challenges. The CMAT 2025 Final Answer Key is officially out, and it brings massive relief to thousands of aspirants. After a grueling 48 hours of analysis involving over 1300 students across two dedicated WhatsApp groups, our collective objections have yielded results. We challenged a total of 14 questions (5 in Slot 1 and 9 in Slot 2). The NTA has officially recognized errors/multiple correct options in 8 of these questions, granting bonus marks to candidates who attempted them. Here is the complete breakdown of the Wrong Questions, the Challenged IDs, and the Final Verdict.
What happens when question is wrong!
| Scenario | Official NTA Rule (Notification) | Marks Awarded To |
| Question Incorrect! | If a question is found to be technically incorrect or all options are wrong. | Full Marks (+4) to ALL Candidates (Whether you attempted it or not) |
| Multiple Correct Options | If more than one option is found to be correct (e.g., both A and C are correct). | +4 Marks ONLY to those who marked any one of the correct options. |
| Answer Key Change | If the option in the provisional key was wrong and is corrected in the final key. | +4 Marks ONLY to those who marked the new correct option. |
Impact on Your Percentile
With 8 questions having modified answers, the raw score vs. percentile dynamics will shift.
- Score Increase: If you attempted the newly accepted options, your score could jump by +4 to +12 marks.
- Cutoff Prediction: Expect the cutoffs for top colleges like JBIMS and Sydenham to rise slightly due to these bonus marks.
