The National Testing Agency (NTA) has yet to release the provisional answer key for the CUET PG 2025 examination, even as more than three weeks have passed since the final shift of the exam concluded on April 1.
The delay has sparked widespread concern among aspirants and raised questions about the transparency and efficiency of the process.
This year’s CUET PG was conducted from March 13 to April 1 in a Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode, spanning 43 shifts and covering 157 different subjects. With over 4 lakh candidates appearing, the scale of the examination was massive.
Usually, the NTA releases answer keys within 5 to 7 days of concluding such exams. The prolonged silence in 2025 has therefore come as a point of frustration for many.
To date, the NTA has provided no official communication or explanation for the delay.
Across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Telegram, and Reddit, students have criticised the lack of communication from the NTA.
"It's been 21 days since the CUET PG 2025 exams ended, and still no sign of the answer key. @NTA_Exams, students deserve better communication and timely updates. This silence is unfair," one candidate wrote on X.
“NTA wants students to pay fees on time, report to exam halls on time. But when it comes to results or answer keys—suddenly there's no concept of time. Students deserve the same punctuality,” the student added.
Meanwhile, candidates have pointed out that results for other exams, such as JEE Main 2025, have already been declared, even though they were held after the CUET-PG examination.
“It's been over three weeks since the CUET-PG exams concluded. The JEE Main exam was held on April 4, and its result has already been declared, but CUET-PG examinees are still waiting for the response sheet. When will the result be declared?” another candidate wrote.
As of now, there is no confirmed date for the release of the CUET PG 2025 answer key.
Candidates are advised to monitor the official NTA portal (exams.nta.ac.in) regularly for updates.
