NTA will prepare a National Merit Ranking (All India Rank) list based on candidates’ scores. If two or more candidates score the same marks in the exam, the tie between them will be resolved in the following order.

The student with the same score will be listed in chronological (ascending) order based on their dates of birth.

Candidates with the same score will be given the same merit, and the merit number will be increased. This means if two candidates are at rank 2, then both will get rank 2, and rank 3 will not be awarded to the next candidate. Instead, s/he will get rank 4.

Along with the CMAT provisional answer key, NTA also displayed question papers and candidates’ recorded responses. Objections to the provisional answer key were accepted till February 2 on the payment of 200 per question.

“If the challenge(s) made by the candidate is found correct, the Answer Key will be revised and applied in the response of all the candidates accordingly. Based on the revised Final Answer Keys, the result will be prepared and declared. No individual candidate will be informed about the acceptance/non-acceptance of his/her challenge. The Keys finalized by the Experts after the settlement of the challenge will be final,” NTA said in an official statement.
