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.
