Karnataka PGCET Answer Key 2027: Provisional Key, Objections

The Karnataka PGCET 2027 answer key will list the correct option for every question in the MBA, MCA and M.E./M.Tech papers. KEA posts a provisional key on its website within a few days of each exam, so it is expected in May and June 2027. You can object online, and the final key is used for the result.

How to Download the Karnataka PGCET 2027 Answer Key

1. Go to cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea and open the PGCET 2027 page.
2. Find the answer key notice for your paper (MBA, MCA or your M.Tech stream).
3. Open the key PDF and note the version code of your question paper.
4. Match the key for your version with the replica of your OMR sheet.

In 2026, the M.Tech keys came on 25 May (two days after the exam) and the MBA/MCA keys on 15 June, a day after those exams.

How do I raise an objection to the PGCET answer key?

You file objections online through the link KEA gives with the provisional key, within the deadline in the key notice. In 2026, the MBA/MCA objection window was 15 June to 10:30 AM on 17 June.

• Give the question number, version code and the answer you think is right.
• Attach supporting documents and a clear justification. Objections without justification are not considered.
• Objections sent after the last date are rejected.
• An expert committee decides every objection, and its decision is final.

KEA then publishes revised keys. In 2026, revised keys came on 2 June for M.Tech and 18 June for MBA/MCA.

How do I calculate my PGCET score from the answer key?

Count your correct answers: each one is worth 1 mark out of 100, and wrong answers cost nothing.

• Score = number of correct answers.
• A question where you shaded two or more options scores zero.
• Use the key for your own question paper version, or your count will be wrong.

Your official marks come with the PGCET result, which uses the final key approved by the expert committee.

Can I see my PGCET OMR response sheet?

Yes. KEA lets you take home the replica (bottom copy) of your OMR sheet after the exam, and in 2026 it also posted a centre-wise OMR view link. KEA does not allow re-totalling or revaluation of OMR sheets.
