KSET 2026 revised answer keys released: no changes for 9 subjects

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

The KSET 2026 examination was conducted on October 11, and provisional answer keys for Paper 1 and 37 subjects of Paper 2 were initially published on October 12. Candidates were given a window to raise objections until 10:30 am on October 14, 2026.

Review of Objections and Key Revisions

The KEA received challenges to the provisional answer keys for Paper 1 and 28 subjects of Paper 2. These objections were reviewed by subject-matter experts, and revised answers have been applied only to questions where changes were recommended by these expert committees. The answer keys for all other questions remain as originally published on the KEA website on October 14, 2026.

For nine subjects of Paper 2, no objections were received by the KEA. As a consequence the answer keys for these subjects remain unchanged from their provisional release. The objection procedure for KSET 2026 required candidates to provide question details, version code, and supporting documentary evidence, along with a fee of Rs. 50 per objection.

KSET 2026 Examination Structure and Marking

The KSET 2026 examination follows a specific marking scheme. Each correct answer in KSET 2026 carries 2 marks. There is no negative marking for incorrect answers in the examination. Candidates are advised to check the revised answer keys for their respective subjects on the KEA website to note any changes.

Previous KEA Answer Key Releases

The KEA has a history of releasing provisional answer keys and inviting objections for various examinations it conducts. For the Compulsory Kannada Language Test 2026, which was held on July 19, 2026, the answer key was 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.

Similarly, for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) 2026, conducted on April 23 and 24, the provisional answer key was uploaded on April 27, 2026. The last date to raise objections for KCET 2026 was April 30, 2026, until 5:00 PM. The KCET 2026 provisional answer key was available for 16 paper sets across Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. For KCET 2026, there is +1 mark for every correct answer and no negative marking for incorrect ones. No fee was charged for raising objections against the KCET 2026 provisional answer key, provided they were submitted with valid evidence within the specified timeline.
