📌 What’s Happening: Final Answer Key Released

The NTA has officially released the CMAT 2026 Final Answer Key on the official website (cmat.nta.nic.in). This follows the provisional answer key and objections period, where candidates could raise concerns about answers before the final version was prepared.

This final answer key will be used to prepare the CMAT 2026 results, which are expected very soon.

📌 Why the Final Answer Key Matters

  • The final key contains the correct answers to all questions after objection review.
  • It is the basis for calculating your score and percentile before the official result is announced.
  • Once published, no further objections are accepted.
