His plea went on to add that he had though raised objection to the provisional answer key which was released on December 3, the final answer key was released without any change and the results were declared by IIM Calcutta, that had organized the exam, hurriedly on December 19.
“The result was expected in the second week of January, 2025 and the haste in declaring the results in December speaks volume,” the plea added.
Mallick’s plea also stated that his objection was supported by distinguished experts and faculty members of various CAT coaching centres.
