MAH B.Ed CET 2026: what the provisional answer key means
The provisional or online provisional answer key is the first official set of correct answers released after the exam. It is used to prepare the tentative merit list and to allow candidates to point out any discrepancies before the final answer key is published by the authority.
Once the final answer key is published, the authority will use it to prepare the official results and seat allotment lists. That makes the provisional key an important step for anyone aiming to track their likely rank and counselling chances.
