This provisional key includes answers for both undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) law entrance exams.
Along with the answer key, the university has also opened a window for students to raise objections. If a student believes an answer in the provisional key is incorrect, they can challenge it. This objection window is open from **December 10, 2025 (5:00 PM)**, until **December 12, 2025 (5:00 PM)**. There is a fee of **INR 1,000** for each question a student wishes to challenge.
