The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to release the provisional answer key on the official website, nta.nic.in. The Computer-Based Test (CBT) examination concluded on July 5, 2026. The provisional answer key allows candidates to compare their recorded responses with the officially released answers, estimate their probable scores, and identify any discrepancies before the final result is declared. Once the answer key is published, candidates will also receive access to their response sheets and question papers. These documents will enable them to calculate their expected marks and decide whether they need to challenge any answer they believe is incorrect.
