Candidates can review their recorded responses, download question papers, and submit objections against the provisional answer key before the deadline.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the CUET UG 2026 Answer Key for candidates who appeared in the Common University Entrance Test (Undergraduate). Along with the provisional answer key, the agency has also made available candidates’ recorded responses and question papers on the official CUET portal.
Candidates can now log in using their application credentials to access the documents and estimate their likely scores before the declaration of results. The release of the CUET UG 2026 Answer Key gives students an opportunity to verify the answers provided by the agency and identify any discrepancies.
Objection window active till June 11
NTA has also opened the challenge facility for candidates who wish to raise objections against any answer in the provisional key. According to the official notification, the objection window will remain open until June 11, 2026, at 10 PM.
Students who believe that a particular answer is incorrect can submit their objections online by selecting the relevant question and uploading supporting documents or references. The agency has clarified that a non-refundable processing fee of ₹200 per question challenged must be paid for each objection submitted.
