This year, a total of 2.95 lakh candidates have registered for the Common Admission Test (CAT) 2025, marking a decline from the previous two years, when registrations hovered around 3.29 to 3.30 lakh. The CAT 2025 application data and revised admit card release date were confirmed by IIM Kozhikode on November 4.
