CUET UG 2026 Answer Key Released at cuet.nta.nic.in, Challenge Window Open Until June 11: Direct Link
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the provisional answer keys, question papers and recorded responses for CUET UG 2026, allowing candidates to check their responses and raise objections through the official portal. The undergraduate entrance test was conducted in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode in multiple shifts across India and abroad, with 15,68,867 candidates registered for the examination. The test was held from May 11 to May 31, 2026, and again on June 6 and June 7, 2026.
According to the public notice issued on June 9, 2026, the challenge window for the provisional answer key opened on June 9 and will remain available until June 11, 2026, up to 10:00 pm. Candidates who are not satisfied with any of the provisional answers can submit objections online, but each challenge requires a non-refundable processing fee of Rs 200 per question. The fee can be paid using credit card, debit card, net banking or UPI. NTA has made it clear that objections will not be considered unless the payment is completed successfully before the deadline of June 11, 2026, up to 11:50 pm.
The agency said all challenges submitted by candidates will be reviewed by a panel of subject experts. If an objection is found to be valid, the answer key will be revised accordingly. Any change made to an answer will be applied uniformly to all candidates, ensuring that the final evaluation remains consistent across the examination. NTA also clarified that candidates will not receive separate communication on whether their individual objections have been accepted or rejected. The finalised answer key prepared by the expert panel will be treated as conclusive.
The final result of CUET UG 2026 will be prepared on the basis of the revised final answer key. Candidates can log in to the official CUET website using their application number and password to access their question paper, recorded responses and answer key. After reviewing the materials, they may choose the questions they want to challenge, upload any supporting documents in a single PDF file, and complete the fee payment process.
NTA has advised candidates to keep checking the official website for the latest updates on CUET UG 2026, including the final answer key and result-related announcements.
