The CAT 2025 question paper had 68 questions in total, 24 of which were from the verbal ability and reading comprehension (VARC) section and 22 each from data interpretation and logical reasoning (DILR), and quantitative ability (QA) sections.

In order to ensure fairness and equity in the comparison of the performances of candidates across different test sessions, the scores of candidates will be subjected to a process of normalisation. The normalisation process will adjust for location and scale differences of score distributions across different forms. After normalisation across different forms, the scores will be further normalised across different sections. The scaled scores obtained by this process will be converted into percentiles for purposes of shortlisting, read a statement on the website.
