KSET 2026 revised answer keys released for Paper 1 and 28 subjects

The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) released the revised answer keys for the Karnataka State Eligibility Test (KSET) 2026 for Paper 1 and 28 subjects of Paper 2 on October 24, 2026. These keys are now available on the official website, kea.kar.nic.in, following a review of objections submitted by candidates.

The KEA undertook this review with the assistance of subject-matter experts to address challenges raised against the provisional answer keys. The KSET 2026 examination was conducted on October 11, and the provisional answer keys for Paper 1 and 37 subjects of Paper 2 were initially published on October 12.

Objection Review Process and Key Changes

Candidates were allowed to submit objections to the provisional answer keys until 10:30 am on October 14, 2026. The KEA received challenges pertaining to the answer keys for Paper 1 and 28 subjects of Paper 2. That’s why, the revised answer keys reflect changes only for those questions where objections were received and after that recommended for alteration by expert committees.

For questions where no objections were raised or where expert committees did not recommend changes, the answer keys remain as originally published on the KEA website on October 14, 2026. Notably, no objections were received for nine specific subjects of Paper 2, meaning their answer keys remain entirely unchanged from the provisional release.

Comparison with Previous KSET and Other KEA Examinations

The KSET 2024 examination was held on November 24, 2024, with its answer key released on November 27, 2024. The objection window for KSET 2024 was open until November 29, 2024, 5:00 PM, and candidates were required to pay a fee of Rs 100 per question to raise objections. KSET 2024 Paper 1 consisted of 50 compulsory questions for 100 marks, while Paper 2 had 100 compulsory questions for 200 marks.

In other KEA examinations, the Compulsory Kannada Language Test for 2026 was conducted on July 19, 2026, with its answer key released on July 20, 2026. The deadline for submitting objections for this test was July 22, 2026, with a non-refundable fee of ₹25 per question for challenging the provisional key. For the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026, the provisional answer key was released on April 27, 2026, after the exam held from April 23 to 24, 2026. Approximately 3.3 lakh candidates registered for KCET 2026, and candidates could raise objections until April 30, 2026, 5:00 PM, without any fee for this process. The final KCET 2026 answer key was anticipated in the first week of May 2026, with results expected in the third or fourth week of May 2026. KEA applies a 50:50 weightage for KCET, combining the KCET score with Class 12 or 2nd PUC marks.
