KCET Answer Key Marking Scheme

Candidates should use the official marking scheme while calculating their estimated scores using the answer key. The KCET exam follows a specific marking pattern where each correct answer carries marks, and incorrect answers may lead to negative marking depending on the subject. Candidates are advised to carefully match their responses with the official answer key for accurate score calculation.

What Happens After Objections

After the objection window closes on April 30, 2026, a subject expert committee will review all the objections submitted by candidates. Based on the review, KEA will prepare and release the final answer key. The final answer key is expected to be released in May 2026 and will be used for the preparation of KCET 2026 results. The result declaration is expected in the first week of May 2026.
