CUET UG 2026 results announced for over 11.6 lakh students
New Delhi, June 23
The National Testing Agency on Tuesday declared the results of the Common University Entrance Test 2026, bringing relief to lakhs of students awaiting admission to undergraduate programmes across the country.
Candidates who appeared for the examination can now access their scorecards through the official CUET portal.
NTA took to social media 'X' and said, "The wait is over. CUET (UG) 2026 results are now available. Students can access their scorecard by logging in through the official CUET website using their credentials."
According to official data, a total of 15,68,867 candidates registered for the examination, while 11,64,098 students ultimately appeared.
The examination witnessed significant participation from across the country, with candidates having the option of choosing up to five subjects. This resulted in nearly 67.56 lakh test attempts and 12,906 unique combinations of subjects.
Among those who appeared for the examination, approximately 5.78 lakh were male candidates, 5.85 lakh were female candidates, while two candidates identified as transgender.
Following the declaration of the CUET UG 2026 results, NTA advised candidates to download their scorecards from the official website.
To access the results, students need to visit the CUET portal and click on the result link available on the homepage. Candidates must then log in using their application number and date of birth or password. Once logged in, they can view their scorecard, check their subject-wise scores and percentile, and download a copy for future admission-related processes.
Students are advised to carefully verify all information mentioned on the scorecard, including their name, roll number, subject-wise scores, percentile, and other personal and examination-related details. Any discrepancy should be reported to the authorities concerned without delay for necessary correction.
On Monday, the NTA published the final answer key after reviewing objections raised by candidates against the provisional version. During the review process, the agency identified technical issues in seven questions and subsequently removed them from the final answer key. These revisions have been incorporated into the final evaluation process.
The CUET UG 2026 examination was conducted between May 11 and May 31, with a few papers held on June 6 and June 7. Following the completion of the examination, the NTA released a provisional answer key, invited objections from candidates, and then finalised the answers before announcing the results.
Last year, the CUET Undergraduate results were declared on July 4, for the exams held from May 13 to June 4. In the previous examination cycle, the final answer key PDF was released on July 1.

5.85 lakh female candidates appeared - that's more than male students! So proud to see our girls stepping up in education. Reminds me of my own struggle for college admission years ago. Hope all these students get their dream colleges. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
As someone who went through US college admissions, this system seems incredibly stressful. 67.56 lakh test attempts for 11.6 lakh students? That's multiple attempts per student. Why not simplify the exam structure? Also, good on the NTA for removing the 7 problematic questions - at least they're listening to objections.
Yaar, I'm a 12th pass student from a small town in Rajasthan. Log in karna, scorecard check karna - itna simple nahi hai for everyone. Many of us don't have good internet or computer skills. NTA should also provide offline help centers for result access. But congratulations to all who cleared! 🙏
Interesting how CUET has become such a massive operation - 15.68 lakh registrations! That's larger than many countries' entire university systems. The key changes from last year's July 4 result to now June 23 show slight improvement in speed. Still, hope the process becomes more transparent with less last-minute answer key drama.
Finally! My cousin was so nervous. Result aane ke baad toh woh bohot khush hai! But one thing - why remove 7 questions after the exam? Students prepare for months, and then some questions get scrapped? That feels unfair to those who might
