NIMCET 2026 Provisional Answer Key Out at nimcet.admissions.nic.in; Check Last Date to Raise Objections

The NIT MCA Common Entrance Test (NIMCET) 2026 provisional answer key is out. It is available on the official portal at nimcet.admissions.nic.in.

The conducting body released the key on June 10, 2026. NIMCET is the national entrance test for MCA admission at participating NITs.

Candidates can now raise objections against any disputed answer online. The window opened on June 10 at 10:00 AM. It will close on June 11, 2026 at 5:00 PM.

Candidates dissatisfied with any answer must pay a processing charge. The fee is Rs 500 per question and is non-refundable. Payment is accepted via net banking, debit card, credit card, or UPI.

The response sheet and recorded OMR images are also live on the portal. Candidates can match their marked answers with the official key. This helps identify questions worth challenging within the brief window.

The table below captures the events, timings, and fee a candidate must track over the next two days.

What Happens After the Objection Window Closes?

The conducting committee will review every valid challenge after June 11. Subject experts verify each disputed question against the official answer scheme.

Only objections supported by valid proof are considered. The final answer key is then prepared on the basis of expert review.

The final key is hosted on the same official portal. The NIMCET 2026 result is computed using this final key, not the provisional one.
