    The authority will publish the provisional answer key together with the individual response sheets on May 16, 2026 . The joint publication means candidates can immediately cross-check their recorded responses against the official answers.

    This combined release aims to let candidates review their attempts and prepare any challenges to specific questions or answer keys. The delay amounts to 2 days from the original expected date.

    Candidates who appeared in OJEE 2026 will be able to download their response sheets once the provisional key is live. The OJEE authority has also extended the objection filing window; candidates may raise challenges during this extended period.

    Exact objection deadline, fee details, payment mode and the process for evaluation of objections have not been specified by the authority. Students should monitor the official OJEE portal for the objection window dates and submission instructions.

    Immediate student impact

    You should plan to download your response sheet and provisional key as soon as they are published on May 16, 2026 . If you find discrepancies, prepare clear documentation to support any objection you file within the extended window.

    What remains unchanged

    There is no official change announced to the exam dates, scores processing timeline, or counselling schedules at this time. The announcement covers only the provisional answer key release date and the publication format that includes response sheets.

    Next steps for candidates

    Check the official OJEE website after May 16, 2026 for the provisional answer key and your response sheet. Track the objection window once it is posted and follow the official instructions to submit any challenges.

    The OJEE authority will evaluate objections as per its process; further communications on final keys or result timelines will come from the official portal. For now, the key point is that the provisional key release is deferred to May 16, 2026 and students can expect the response sheet and an extended objection window with that release.
