The PCB group entrance examination was conducted from April 21 to 26, 2026 across multiple examination centres in Maharashtra.

Following the answer key release, candidates will have an opportunity to raise objections against the answer key during a designated objection window.

The release of the provisional answer key is a crucial step in the MHT CET 2026 evaluation process, enabling candidates to estimate their scores before the official result declaration. Candidates can use the provisional answer key to compare their marked answers with the official answers and calculate their expected scores. The answer key will display the correct answers for all questions in the PCB examination. After reviewing all objections received from candidates, the Maharashtra State CET Cell will release the final answer key, which will be used to prepare the final result.

Understanding the Answer Key and Calculating Scores

The MHT CET 2026 Session 1 PCB answer key will display all 200 questions from the examination along with the correct answers as determined by the examination authority. The answer key is organized by subject with Physics questions (50), Chemistry questions (50), and Biology questions (100) clearly separated. Each question is numbered sequentially, and the correct answer is displayed alongside the question. Candidates can use this information to compare their marked answers and calculate their expected scores.

To calculate your expected score, candidates should count the number of correct answers and multiply by 1 mark per question. For every wrong answer, 1 mark will be deducted. Candidates can use this calculation to estimate their performance before the official result declaration. The provisional answer key is subject to change based on objections received from candidates. Therefore, the final answer key may differ from the provisional answer key if corrections are made after reviewing objections.

Objection Process for MHT CET 2026 Answer Key

Candidates who believe there are errors in the provisional answer key can file objections during the designated objection window, expected in May 2026. The objection process involves submitting a formal request with supporting evidence or reasoning for the objection. An objection fee of INR 100 per question is charged for raising challenges against the answer key. Candidates must provide clear justification for their objections with reference to reliable sources or textbooks.

The Maharashtra State CET Cell's expert committee will review all objections received and make necessary corrections to the answer key if found valid. Only objections with strong evidence and proper justification will be considered for correction. The final answer key will be released after the objection review process is completed. The final result will be prepared based on the corrected final answer key. Candidates should keep copies of their objections and supporting documents for future reference.

Candidates must download their answer key immediately once released to avoid any technical issues or server congestion. Multiple copies of the answer key should be printed and kept safe for future reference. The answer key is an important document that candidates may need during the counseling and admission process. Candidates should verify all details on the answer key carefully and report any discrepancies to the Maharashtra CET Cell immediately.
