The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has released the provisional answer keys for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026, which was conducted from April 22 to 24. A total of 3.3 lakh candidates registered for the exam, which included tests in Kannada, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. Candidates can access the provisional answer keys on the official KEA website, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in, using their application number, name, and date of birth. They have until 5 PM on April 30 to submit objections against the provisional keys, which can be done without any fee. Each correct answer is awarded one mark, and there is no negative marking. After the objection window closes, KEA will review the challenges and release a final answer key, which will be used to calculate the KCET 2026 results. The ranking will consider both KCET scores and performance in the qualifying examination, with equal weightage given to marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
