What Happens After Objections Are Submitted? 

According to the NTA, all challenges received during the objection window will be reviewed by a panel of subject experts. The experts will examine the supporting evidence submitted by candidates before arriving at a final decision. 

If any challenge is found to be correct, the answer key will be revised accordingly. The updated answer will then be applied uniformly to all candidates who appeared for the examination. 

The agency has clarified that the final CUET UG 2026 results will be prepared on the basis of the revised answer key. Separate communication regarding the acceptance or rejection of objections will not be sent to individual candidates. The decision taken by the expert panel will be treated as final and binding.
