The CUCET / CUET UG Answer Key 2026 is released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) after the completion of the CUET UG examination. It contains the official correct answers that candidates can use to cross-check their responses and estimate their probable scores before the final result is declared.
The answer key is usually released in two phases — a provisional answer key first, followed by a final answer key after reviewing objections. Candidates must download the answer key from the official NTA CUET website to ensure accuracy.
After the CUET UG examination (typically conducted between May 11 – 31, 2026), NTA releases the provisional answer key on its official website. Candidates can download it to review their responses and calculate estimated marks before the official results are announced.
The provisional answer key is released first and allows candidates to raise objections within a specified window. After reviewing all challenges, NTA publishes the final answer key, which is used to prepare the official CUET results.
If candidates find discrepancies in the provisional answer key, they can raise objections through the official portal within the specified deadline. A prescribed fee per question is charged for challenges. After review, NTA releases the final answer key.
The provisional answer key is generally released a few weeks after the exam concludes, usually in June 2026. The final answer key is published after the objection window closes and responses are reviewed.
