What’s After the Provisional Answer Key is Out?
After the officials have released the provisional answer key for the CUET UG 2025 exam, candidates will have the opportunity to raise objections against any errors they find in the provisional answer key. However, they are required to pay a non-refundable fee of INR 200 per question to submit the objection. The objection window will be open for a short time after the answer key is released. Once the objection period closes, subject experts will review all challenges, and valid objections will be added to the final answer key.
The final answer key is expected to be released shortly after the objection window closes, likely by the last week of July 2025. The CUET UG 2025 results will be declared based on this final answer key. Candidates can check their results on the official NTA CUET website by entering their registration number and date of birth.
