What Information Does the Assam CEE Provisional Answer Key Contain?

The official provisional answer key is more than just a list of correct answers. Understanding what details are printed on it helps you verify its authenticity and use it correctly for objections.

How to Calculate Your Probable Score Using the Assam CEE Answer Key 2026

Before results are officially declared, candidates can use the provisional answer key to estimate their performance. This helps in gauging college admission possibilities and planning accordingly.

The Assam CEE marking scheme works as follows:

• +4 marks for every correct response
• -1 mark for every incorrect response (negative marking applies)
• 0 marks for unattempted questions

To calculate your probable score:

1. Download the provisional answer key PDF from astu.ac.in.
2. Count the total number of questions you answered correctly multiply this figure by 4.
3. Count the total number of questions you answered incorrectly this is the number of marks to deduct (1 mark per wrong answer).
4. Subtract the wrong-answer deductions from your correct-answer score.
5. The resulting figure is your estimated probable score.

Example: If you attempted 90 questions, got 70 correct and 20 wrong your probable score = (70 × 4) - (20 × 1) = 280 - 20 = 260 marks.
