Applications are now open for the CUET UG Answer Key 2026 Out – Challenge by 11 June answer key announced by National Testing Agency (NTA). Candidates can verify their responses against the official answer key — released on 11 Jun 2026. The objection window (if any) is detailed in the notification.
Always confirm the final details in the official notification — it is the binding source for eligibility, dates, and fees.
The entire application is online — candidates register on the official portal, fill the form, upload documents, pay the fee online, and download the confirmation. Follow the numbered steps below carefully, because once submitted most fields cannot be edited.
The Key Challenge Last Date for this application is 11 Jun 2026. We strongly recommend completing the application at least 2-3 days before the deadline — the official portal usually sees heavy load on the last day, and payment-gateway timeouts in the final hours can cause submissions to fail.
The application fee varies by category and is listed in the Application Fee section below. Payment can be made online using debit card, credit card, net banking, UPI, or any accepted digital wallet. Save the payment receipt — you will need it if the system requires manual verification.
The selection process is conducted in 5 stages: CUET UG CBT Examination (11 May – 07 June 2026), Provisional Answer Key Release & Candidate Objection Window, NTA Reviews Objections & Publishes Final Answer Key, Result / Score Declaration Based on Final Answer Key and University-wise Admission Counselling Using CUET UG Score. Candidates must clear each stage to be eligible for the next, and the final merit list is prepared on the combined performance across all stages. Detailed marking schemes, qualifying cut-offs, and any tie-breaker rules are listed in the official notification linked above.
NTA released the provisional CUET UG Answer Key 2026 on 09 June 2026. It is available on the official candidate login portal at examinationservices.nic.in and cuet.nta.nic.in.
The deadline to raise objections against the provisional CUET UG Answer Key 2026 is 11 June 2026. No challenges will be accepted after this date.
