KCET 2026 Answer Key: provisional release and objection deadline
The key is provisional and will be reviewed by a subject expert committee. If you find any discrepancy, you must file an objection through the KEA portal before the window closes on April 30, 2026 till 5 PM .
The expert committee will consider all valid objections and prepare the final answer key. KEA will use the final key to prepare KCET results.
How to access KCET 2026 Answer Key and raise objections
Go to cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea and open the 'Objection link for provisional key answers' page. You must log in with your KCET 2026 application or registration number, the first four characters of your name, and your date of birth.
On the portal, select the exam type as Undergraduate Common Entrance Test (UGCET) 2026, choose your subject paper and exam date, then review the provisional answers. Follow the on-screen prompts to submit objections.
What KEA requires for a valid objection
Every objection must include the correct question number and version code; submissions missing these details will be rejected. You must also upload supporting documents in PDF format. KEA asks you to specify the subject paper and exam date when filing the challenge.
KEA will only consider objections submitted through the official objection portal. There is no published timeline for when the final answer key will be released after the review, nor any fee information listed by KEA in the provisional notice.
Immediate impact for candidates
If you plan to challenge any answers, prepare your PDF evidence and double-check the question number and version code before submitting. Missing or incorrect details will lead to automatic rejection and your objection will not be reviewed by the expert committee.
For all actions related to the provisional key and objections, use the official KEA portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea and follow the login and submission steps shown there.
