CUET PG Result 2026: The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to announce the results of the Common University Entrance Test Postgraduate (CUET PG) 2026 on April 24. Candidates who appeared for the exam will be able to access their scorecards through the official website — exams.nta.nic.in/cuet-pg.
The CUET PG 2026 examination was conducted in computer-based mode across 157 subjects, with candidates from across the country appearing for admission into postgraduate programmes offered by central, state, deemed, and other participating universities.
Answer key challenge process completed
Ahead of the result declaration, the NTA had opened the objection window on April 11, allowing candidates to challenge the provisional answer key. Applicants were required to pay a non-refundable fee of ₹200 per question to raise objections.
These challenges were reviewed by a panel of subject experts, and necessary corrections were incorporated into the final answer key. The CUET PG 2026 results will be prepared based on this revised final key.

Past trends and candidate participation
In recent years, CUET PG has seen fluctuating participation trends. In 2025, results were declared on May 6, with over 5.2 lakh candidates appearing for the exam. The attendance stood at nearly 80 per cent, marking one of the highest participation rates.
In comparison, the 2024 results were announced on April 13, while the 2023 results were released on July 20. Despite higher registrations in earlier years, actual attendance remained comparatively lower, highlighting changing participation patterns.
