New Delhi: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially released the provisional answer key for the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2025. Candidates who appeared for the examination can now access the answer key on the official website: cuet.nta.nic.in. The release of the answer key marks a crucial step in the post-examination process, allowing students to evaluate their performance and raise objections, if any.
The CUET UG 2025 was conducted in multiple phases across various exam centers nationwide. It serves as a centralized entrance exam for admission to undergraduate programs in several central and participating universities across India. This year, lakhs of candidates took the exam in online mode, covering a wide range of subjects and languages.
According to the official notification from NTA, the answer key is provisional and open to challenges. Candidates who find discrepancies in the answers provided can submit their objections through the online portal. The objection window will remain open for a specified period, after which the final answer key will be released based on expert evaluation of all submitted queries.
To raise objections, candidates must log in using their application number and date of birth, select the question(s) they wish to challenge, and provide valid supporting documents or references. A non-refundable fee per challenged question may be applicable, which is usually around ₹200. Only objections submitted within the official window will be considered.
