NTA Publishes CUET (UG) Provisional Answer Keys and Opens Objection Window

Subject experts will review paid objections to produce the final key that will determine results and university counselling schedules.

Overview

  • The National Testing Agency released provisional answer keys, question papers and candidates’ recorded responses on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, on the official CUET portal.
  • A limited challenge window is open from June 9 to June 11 with a non‑refundable fee of Rs 200 per question and online payment required for each objection to be considered.
  • Submitted challenges must include supporting documents and will be reviewed by panels of subject experts who will revise the key if a challenge is found valid.
  • The final, expert‑verified key will be applied uniformly to all candidates’ responses and the NTA will not notify individuals about acceptance or rejection of their specific objections.
  • About 1,568,867 candidates sat CUET (UG) across 321 cities including 15 international locations and the final key will directly affect scores, result timing and the start of university counselling.
