NTA CMAT 2026 Final Answer Key

This page tracks NTA CMAT 2026 Final Answer Key, a answer key release. The key figures are an application window closing 17 November 2025 and a fee of ₹2,500 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 17 October 2025 and close on 17 November 2025, giving candidates 32 days to complete the process. The 32-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. A correction window is listed (20-22 November 2025), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for 25/01/2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

On qualifications, the notification states: Passed / Appearing Final Year in Bachelor Degree in Any Stream. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹1,250 and ₹2,500, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Work out a provisional score from the official key before the objection window closes. Objections generally require a fee per question and supporting evidence, and are only worth raising where you can cite a source. Do not use unofficial keys circulating on social media to estimate cut-offs — they are frequently wrong on exactly the disputed questions.
