The Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) has officially released the provisional answer key for the Karnataka Police Civil Constable recruitment examination conducted in 2026. The document is now available for download and review on the authority's official website at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.
Candidates who appeared for the written examination can now cross-check their responses against the published key. The release of the answer key is a standard procedural step in the competitive examination process, allowing applicants to independently evaluate their performance before the final merit list is prepared.
KEA has extended a clear and defined window for candidates to raise objections or claims against any answers they believe are incorrect. Aspirants who identify discrepancies between their marked responses and the published key must submit their objections through the official online portal before the deadline of August 6, 2026. No extensions have been announced for this timeline.
Once the objection window closes, the authority will constitute a review panel to examine all submitted challenges. Responses that survive scrutiny after review may be modified in the final answer key, which will subsequently be used to calculate candidate scores and prepare the merit list for further selection stages including physical efficiency tests and document verification.
The Karnataka Police Civil Constable recruitment drives typically attract a very large number of applicants from across the state. Candidates are advised to download the answer key promptly, verify their responses thoroughly, and file any objections well before the final date to avoid last-minute technical issues or website congestion. Official notifications and updates regarding the next stages of the recruitment process will also be shared through the same CET portal.
