The National Testing Agency (NTA) has published the provisional answer key for the General Ability Test (Shift 1) of the NIFT Entrance Examination 2025 (NIFTEE-2025). Candidates who took the exam on February 9, 2025, can now access the answer key, question paper, and recorded responses through the official website.
The challenge window for the provisional answer key is open from February 15 to February 17, 2025 (until 11 PM). Candidates who wish to challenge any answer may do so by paying a non-refundable fee of ₹200 per question. Subject matter experts will review the objections, and if any are found valid, the final answer key will be updated accordingly. The exam results will be based on the revised answer key; however, individual notifications regarding the acceptance or rejection of challenges will not be sent.

Notably, despite the official confirmation of the answer key release, many candidates have reported difficulties accessing the official website link provided by NTA. The link, which is meant to direct candidates to the NIFT 2025 Answer Key on the official portal (exams.nta.ac.in/NIFT), has reportedly been experiencing technical issues, including site crashes and errors, making it difficult for users to download the answer key.
