The CMAT 2026 answer key — including the official response sheet — is expected to be released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) around 31 January 2026 for the exam held on 25 January 2026. Unofficial and memory‑based answer keys are already circulating to help candidates assess their performance before the official release.
The answer key for CMAT 2026 is anticipated to be released by the National Testing Agency (NTA) by 31 January 2026, nearly one week after the CMAT exam was conducted on 25 January 2026 in computer‑based test (CBT) mode for MBA and related management admissions.
CMAT Exam 2026: Expected Answer Key Release Date & Details
While NTA has not officially confirmed the exact release date yet, based on previous years’ trends and expert predictions, the CMAT 2026 provisional answer key and response sheet are likely to go live around 31 January 2026.
- CMAT 2026 Exam Date: 25 January 2026 (held in one shift)
- Expected Answer Key Release: ~31 January 2026 (Provisional)
- Official Response Sheet: To be available along with the answer key login download
Candidates should regularly check the official CMAT portal cmat.nta.nic.in for notifications and uploads once the provisional key is published.
How to Download CMAT 2026 Answer Key & Response Sheet?
Candidates can download the CMAT 2026 answer key PDF and their response sheet by logging in with their credentials (Application ID and Password/Date of Birth) through the official NTA CMAT answer key section. Steps usually include:
- Visit cmat.nta.nic.in.
- Go to the Answer Key tab.

The response sheet will include candidates’ recorded responses along with the correct answers once released.
CMAT Exam 2026: Unofficial and Memory‑Based Answer Keys
Even before the official key, several coaching institutes and education portals have released memory‑based answer keys to help candidates estimate their scores and attempt levels. These are useful for a tentative performance assessment before the official provisional key is issued.
What Comes Next After the CMAT Answer Key?
After the provisional answer key release, NTA may open a short objection window during which candidates can challenge any disputed answers by submitting evidence and paying a nominal fee (as applicable to such procedures). Once objections are reviewed, the final answer key is published along with or before the CMAT result release, which is expected in the second week of February 2026.
