The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has released the KCET 2026 provisional answer key on April 27, allowing candidates to assess their performance in the entrance exam conducted on April 23 and 24.

Candidates can now access the answer key for all subjects and estimate their probable scores ahead of the official results.

Objection Window Open for Candidates

KEA has provided an opportunity for students to raise objections against the provisional answer key.

• Last date to submit objections: April 30
• Objections must be submitted through the official portal
• Valid supporting documents or justification are required for each challenge

This step helps ensure fairness and accuracy before the final answer key is published.

Steps to Raise Objections

Candidates can follow these steps to challenge any answer:

• Log in using their application credentials
• Select the subject and question number
• Provide a clear explanation along with supporting proof
• Submit the objection within the deadline

Late submissions will not be accepted under any circumstances.

Form Correction Window Reopened

In addition to the answer key release, KEA has reopened the KCET 2026 application correction window.

• Correction dates: April 27 to May 3
• Candidates can edit personal details, academic information, and uploaded documents

This allows applicants to correct any mistakes before the next stages of admission.

What Happens Next?

After reviewing all objections, KEA will release the final answer key, which will be used to prepare the results. The KCET 2026 results are expected to be announced in May, followed by the counselling and seat allotment process.
