The National Testing Agency (NTA) has officially declared the CUET UG Result 2026 today on its official portal, cuet.nta.nic.in. The result has been released based on the final answer key published on June 22, 2026. Candidates who appeared across any phase of the examination can now download their scorecards by logging in with their application number and password.
This year's result is notably faster than last year — in CUET UG 2025, results were declared on July 4, nearly a month after exams concluded on June 4. This time, NTA has declared results within weeks of the June 6–7 final phase, reflecting a significant improvement in processing speed.
A total of 15,68,867 unique candidates registered for CUET UG 2026, making it one of the largest undergraduate entrance examinations in the country. The exam was conducted from May 11 to May 31 and June 6 to June 7, 2026, spanning 321 examination cities across India and 15 international locations.
Candidates were offered a total of 37 subjects — comprising 13 language papers, 23 domain-specific subject papers, and one General Aptitude Test (GAT). The provisional answer key was released on June 9, 2026, along with the question papers and recorded candidate responses, giving aspirants an early window to estimate their scores and challenge any discrepancy.

[23 June, 10:30 AM IST] — CUET UG Result 2026 LIVE | Last Year's 100 Percentile Performance Analysis — How Rare Is a Perfect Score?
Ahead of this year's result, here is a look at how candidates performed in CUET UG 2025 to give you a benchmark:
Only 1 candidate scored 100 percentile in 4 out of 5 opted subjects — an exceptionally rare achievement across the entire country. A total of 17 candidates scored 100 percentile in 3 subjects out of their opted subjects. 150 candidates scored 100 percentile in 2 subjects. A total of 2,679 candidates scored 100 percentile in at least 1 subject.
This data underscores just how competitive the top percentile band is. For DU's most sought-after courses — such as B.Com (Hons) at SRCC or Economics (Hons) at Lady Shri Ram College — even a single subject percentile drop below 99.5 can be the difference between admission and the waitlist.

[21 June, 6:00 PM IST] — NEET UG 2026 re-exam concludes. NTA is now expected to shift full operational focus to CUET UG result processing. June 24 remains the most widely cited expected declaration date.
[9 June, 2026] — CUET UG 2026 Provisional Answer Key released. Candidates were given a window until June 11, 11:50 PM to raise objections with the prescribed processing fee.
The NTA CUET final answer key 2026 has been released on the official website cuet.nta.nic.in. This is the last official step before the result declaration. Based on previous years' trends, NTA usually releases the CUET result within three days of the final answer key release. This year, the CUET final answer key 2026 has been released on June 21. This makes June 24 the most probable result date.
Importantly, NTA has dropped 7 questions from the CUET 2026 final answer key, meaning students who appeared in those papers will automatically receive marks for those questions whether or not they attempted them.
Once the result is announced, candidates can follow these steps: visit the official CUET website; click on the link for the CUET UG 2026 Result; enter your application number, date of birth, and security pin; submit the details to view your result; download the scorecard and keep a printed copy for future admission processes.
Candidates are advised to keep multiple copies of their scorecard downloaded, as university portals will require it at every stage of counselling and admission.
Understanding the marking scheme helps you estimate your score before the official result drops. The CUET UG 2026 scoring system awards five marks for every correct response, while one mark is deducted for each incorrect answer. Questions left unanswered do not carry any marks or penalties.
Each subject in CUET UG carries a maximum of 250 marks. For three subjects, the total raw score is out of 750. NTA then normalises scores across shifts and sessions before publishing the final percentile-based scorecard.
The NTA CUET UG scorecard contains important details such as the candidate's name, application number, roll number, photograph, signature, subject-wise marks, total score, percentile score, qualifying status, category, and other personal information.
Yes, the CUET UG scorecard includes normalised NTA Scores. Universities use these normalised scores for admission and merit list preparation.
This year, NTA conducted the CUET UG examination from May 11 to May 31, 2026, and again on June 6 and June 7, 2026. The examination was held across 321 cities, including 15 international locations — among them Abu Dhabi, Doha, Dubai, Munich, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Kuwait City, Lagos, Manama, Muscat, Riyadh, Sharjah, Singapore, West Java, and Washington.
The CUET UG 2026 provisional answer key was released on June 9, 2026. Candidates were given an opportunity to challenge the answer key from June 9 to June 11, with objections accepted until 11:50 PM on the final day.
Once the result is out, the real race begins. Following the CUET result declaration, participating universities will issue merit lists of the selected candidates. Applications will be accepted separately from each participating university for admission to undergraduate CUET courses. Universities will then provide their cut-offs and merit lists. The chosen applicants will have to submit the necessary paperwork and pay the remaining fees to complete the admission process.
The University of Delhi is currently conducting admissions through the Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) for undergraduate programmes. While the first phase of registration is underway, the second phase — which involves filling course and college preferences — will commence after the declaration of the CUET UG 2026 results.
Several prestigious central universities use CUET UG scores for undergraduate admissions. Among the most sought-after institutions are Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Banaras Hindu University, University of Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University.
Here are the broad expected cut-off ranges based on trends and expert analysis:
Delhi University cut-offs typically range from 95 to 100 percentile for science courses and 90 to 98 percentile for commerce and arts streams. The exact marks depend on your category, the specific college, and the specific course.
For BHU B.Sc Mathematics, the CUET expected cut-off range is: General 370–479, EWS 370–380, OBC 410–413, SC 240–244, ST 130–139.
A CUET score of 700 or above is considered very good, and a score between 600 and 700 is considered good.
The NTA has issued a clear warning regarding unfair practices. The CUET UG 2026 result will be cancelled for candidates found using unfair means, for those who took the exam from a centre other than the one allotted, or who allowed another person to write the examination on their behalf.
Also, NTA does not allow re-evaluation or re-checking of CUET UG results. Candidates must raise any scorecard-related concerns through the official grievance mechanism immediately after the result is published.
Examination records will be preserved for up to 90 days from the date of result declaration.
