    CUET 2026 Science May 12: Day 2 exam

    The CUET 2026 Science paper for Day 2 was conducted across centres on May 12, 2026 , and candidates are now advised to follow the National Testing Agency (NTA) for official updates. The NTA is the authority responsible for releasing the answer key, challenge process details and final scorecards.

    CUET 2026 Science May 12 — what students must know now

    Keep your admit card, ID and any exam-day records handy for verification during the result and counselling stages. If you faced any irregularity at the exam centre, report it through the official NTA grievance channels listed on the agency’s website.

    Do not rely on unofficial summaries for final scores. Official documents and decisions affecting admissions will come from the NTA and the universities using CUET scores.

    CUET 2026 Science May 12 — how to track answer key and results

    Visit the NTA CUET portal for the provisional answer key and instructions on how to raise challenges. The portal will also list the exact procedure for submitting representations and any fees associated with challenges.

    After provisional keys and challenges are handled, the NTA will publish final scores and the CUET scorecard. Admissions and counselling timelines depend on participating universities and will be shared by them using NTA scores.

    Immediate student actions and documentation

    • Retain your admit card and a clear photo ID until admissions conclude.
    • Note down any question or answer IDs you want reviewed and use the official challenge facility.
    • Save timestamps, centre details and proctor names if you plan to file an official complaint.

    What to expect next

    Monitor the NTA CUET page and official university notices for timelines on answer keys, results and counselling. Universities will publish eligibility and admission criteria based on CUET scores; refer to those authorities for subject-specific cutoffs and seat processes.

    For any queries, use the helpline and contact information on the NTA website rather than third-party posts. Official notices will be the basis for score computation, admissions and any further steps.
