Overview
- The National Testing Agency published provisional answer keys, question papers and candidates’ recorded responses on Tuesday, June 9, allowing test‑takers to compare answers and estimate scores.
- Candidates can file online objections until June 11 at 10:00 PM with a non‑refundable fee of ₹200 per question payable through card, net banking or UPI by 11:50 PM the same day.
- A panel of subject experts will review paid challenges, and any accepted change will be applied uniformly to all candidates before NTA prepares the final answer key and results.
- The CUET UG 2026 exam saw 1,568,867 registered candidates across 321 cities and 15 international locations, and the marking scheme gives +5 for correct, −1 for wrong and 0 for unanswered questions.
- Students face immediate decisions about paying to challenge answers and calculating provisional scores, and delays in finalising the key could push back university counselling and admission schedules for the 2026–27 intake.
