Over 15.68 lakh students appeared for the CUET UG 2026 exam — and right now, every single one of them is waiting for the same thing: the NTA CUET UG Answer Key 2026. If you’ve just finished your exam and want to estimate your score, challenge a wrong answer, or simply understand what happens next — you’re in the right place. This guide covers everything: when the answer key drops, how to download it, how to raise objections, expected cutoffs for top colleges, and what the complete CUET 2026 timeline looks like from here to admission day.

What Is the CUET UG Answer Key?

The CUET UG Answer Key is the official document published by the National Testing Agency (NTA) that contains the correct answers to all questions asked in the exam. It comes in two stages:

Provisional Answer Key — Released first. You can verify your responses and raise objections.
Final Answer Key — Published after NTA experts review all challenges. This is the key used to calculate your official CUET score.

Think of the provisional key as a draft — it’s your one shot to correct any errors before your score is locked in permanently.

Note: These dates are based on NTA’s historical pattern and official trends. Always verify at cuet.nta.nic.in for the latest updates.

The exam was conducted in CBT (Computer-Based Test) mode across 221 cities in India and 15 international cities — making it one of the largest undergraduate entrance examinations in the world.

How to Download the CUET UG Answer Key 2026 {#how-to-download}

When the provisional answer key goes live, follow these steps to download it instantly: Step 1: Visit the official CUET portal — cuet.nta.nic.in Step 2: On the homepage, look for the link: “Answer Key Challenge for CUET (UG) 2026” Step 3: Enter your Application Number and Date of Birth (or password used at registration) Step 4: Your answer key along with your recorded responses will appear on the screen Step 5: Download the PDF and take a printout for reference

Pro Tip: NTA releases both the question paper and your recorded responses alongside the answer key. Cross-check each question carefully — don’t rush this process.

How to Challenge the Provisional Answer Key

Found a question where the official answer seems wrong? You can formally challenge it. Here’s how the process works:

Challenge Fee

₹200 per question (non-refundable processing fee)
The fee is not returned even if your objection is accepted

What Happens to Your Objection?

NTA’s subject experts review all challenges
If your objection is valid, the answer is corrected for all students — not just you
NTA does not inform individual students whether their specific challenge was accepted
The common final answer key reflects all accepted corrections

Important Rules

The objection window stays open for only 2–4 days. Miss it and you lose the chance permanently.
You cannot challenge the response sheet — only the answer key.
Objections submitted after the deadline are not entertained under any circumstances.

CUET 2026 Marking Scheme Explained

Understanding the marking scheme is critical for accurately estimating your score.

Answer Type	Marks
Correct Answer	+5 marks
Incorrect Answer	-1 mark
Unattempted Question	0 marks

Quick Score Estimation Formula

Estimated Score = (Correct Answers × 5) – (Wrong Answers × 1)

Example: If you attempted 45 questions, got 38 correct and 7 wrong: Score = (38 × 5) – (7 × 1) = 190 – 7 = 183 marks The provisional answer key score can still change after the final key is published. Don’t make any critical admission decisions based on the provisional key alone.
