Tips to Accurately Calculate Your Score

• Match your OMR responses carefully against the Provisional Answer Key — download your response sheet too, if available, for the most accurate comparison
• Note any question(s) you plan to challenge separately — don’t include disputed questions in your initial self-score estimate
• Remember: the Provisional Key can still change after objection review — your final score will only be confirmed once the Final Answer Key is released
• Cross-check the minimum qualifying mark of 30/100 against your estimated score to gauge whether you’re likely to proceed to the Physical Standards Test stage

Important Instructions for Candidates

• The answer key released now is provisional only — it is subject to change based on valid objections
• Objections must be backed with valid supporting proof to be considered by KEA’s expert review panel
• Keep your admit card, OMR response sheet, and this provisional key safely until the final result is declared
• Rely only on the official KEA website for all updates — avoid unofficial sources for critical information like the final key or result date
• Given the very high number of applicants (~3.9 lakh) for 3,991 posts, expect the Physical Standards Test cut-off to be competitive — don’t wait for the final result to start preparing for the next stage if you’re reasonably confident of clearing the qualifying marks
