What happens after the objection window

Once objections close, the NTA's subject experts review every valid challenge. Accepted objections are incorporated into the final answer key, which is then used to compute scores. The CUET UG 2026 result is expected in early July 2026 (reported), after which scores are shared with participating universities — over 250 institutions, including around 50 central universities, use CUET UG for admission. Always confirm the exact final-key and result dates on the official portal.

Important: objection deadlines are strict and the per-question fee is non-refundable unless your challenge succeeds, so challenge only the answers you can back with a published, verifiable source.
