Sarkari Answer Key 2026-27: All Answer Keys and Objection Dates in One List

The hour after an exam is the most restless one. You want to know how many questions you got right, and whether you are above last year's cut-off. The answer key gives you that, but boards release it in different ways, on different days, and the objection window is short. This page keeps every answer key, response sheet and objection notice posted on SarkariResult10th in one list, newest first. Each title opens a post with the official link and the last date.

Use the boxes near the top if you want something particular. Type boxes (provisional, final, objection, response sheet and so on) help when you want one stage of the key, and the board, department and state boxes help when you follow one exam body. Where we have saved the last date for objections, it shows next to the title, and it changes to Objection Closed once the date is over.

Provisional and Final Answer Key: What Is the Difference

A provisional (or tentative) key comes first. It is the board's own first answer to each question, and it is released so that candidates can find mistakes. After the objection window closes, the board has the objections checked by subject experts, corrects the key where needed, and releases the final key. The result is made from the final key.

So a provisional key is useful to estimate your marks, but it is not final. A few answers usually change, and sometimes a question is dropped or all candidates get marks for it. Do not decide anything big on the basis of a provisional score alone.

How to Check Your Marks with the Answer Key

1. Open the post and download the key from the official site. If the key is released shift wise or set wise, take the one that matches your shift and your question paper set.
2. Keep your response sheet, OMR copy or the answers you remember with you. In a computer based exam, the response sheet from your login is the only reliable record.
3. Mark each question as right, wrong or not attempted. Do it slowly, and do it once more later, because counting errors are common.
4. Add the marks for the right answers, and cut the negative marks for the wrong ones as written in the notice. In most exams the cut is one fourth or one third of a mark for each wrong answer.
5. Compare your total with the cut-off of the last year in the same category. Remember that it is only a guide, as this year's paper may have been easier or harder.

How to Raise an Objection

1. Read the objection notice for the last date, the time, the fee for each question and the way to submit. Most boards take objections only through the candidate login on the official site.
2. Pick only the questions where you are sure the key is wrong. Objections made on a feeling are mostly rejected, and the fee for them is not returned.
3. For each question, write the question number, the answer given in the key, the answer you claim, and a proof: a page of a standard textbook, an NCERT chapter, a government document or a link to the official site.
4. Submit before the last day. Websites become slow in the last hours of the window, and a late claim is not taken.
5. Save the receipt or a screenshot of the claim. If the fee is returned after the claim is accepted, you will need it.

Common Mistakes While Checking the Key

• Using the key of a different shift, day or paper set. The questions look alike, and the answers do not.
• Forgetting the negative marking and thinking that the score is higher than it is.
• Believing a key shared on social media or a coaching channel as if it were official. These keys are made from memory and can be wrong in many answers.
• Raising an objection for every question one doubts, and paying the fee for each. Pick the sure ones.
• Waiting for the final key to start the next stage. If you have a good chance, begin the preparation for the next stage the same week.

If the Board Does Not Release an Answer Key

Not every board publishes a key. Some release only the response sheet and the scorecard, and some announce the result directly. In that case, check each answer against the standard books yourself, or use a reliable memory based solution as a rough guide. Do not pay anyone for a "guaranteed" or "confirmed" answer key. An official key is always free and always comes from the board's own website.

Common Questions

When does the answer key come after the exam?

There is no fixed rule. For many computer based exams the provisional key comes within a week or two, and for some entrance exams within a few days. Other boards release it only along with the result. The post tells you the date once the board has announced it.

Can the final answer key change my result?

Yes. If an answer has been changed or a question has been dropped, the marks of many candidates change, and so does the cut-off. This is why the result is made only after the final key.

Is there a fee for raising an objection?

Many boards take a fee for each question, and some return it if your claim is accepted. A few boards take no fee at all. The amount and the rule are written in the objection notice, so read it before you submit.

Can I get a copy of my own response sheet?

For computer based exams, yes, in most cases. The response sheet is shown in your login for a limited time, so save it as a PDF as soon as it is available. For OMR exams, some boards give a scanned copy of the OMR sheet, and some do not.

Do you charge anything for the answer key?

No. Reading the posts is free and we do not take money for answer keys, forms or results.
