Important Dates & Timeline

To download the answer key for AP EAPCET 2026, candidates should go to the official website, cets.apsche.ap.gov.in, and click on the "Master Question Papers with Final Preliminary Keys" link on the homepage. They need to select their exam stream, such as engineering, agriculture, or pharmacy, to get the answer key in PDF format. Students can also download their response sheets from the same official website. To do this, they must log in using their registration number and the necessary login details. After logging in, they should go to the "Response Sheets" section and download their response sheets in PDF format. 

If a candidate notices any error or discrepancy in the provisional answer key, they can raise an objection online. This can be done by logging into cets.apsche.ap.gov.in and selecting the "Key Objections" option. They should choose the relevant question, provide an explanation, and upload any supporting documents if needed. Candidates are required to pay the applicable fee and submit their objections before 27th May, 2026, at 11:00 AM. 

The candidates should also keep in mind that only objections submitted through the portal will be considered. Objections sent via email or any other method will not be accepted. Each objection should be connected to a specific question, clearly explained, and backed up with proper reasons and evidence. Objections submitted after the deadline, which is 11:00 AM IST on May 27, 2026, will not be considered. Once the objection period ends, APSCHE will review all the received objections. Based on this review, the final answer key will be created and published by APSCHE. 

Using the final answer key, the final scores will be calculated. Therefore, the final results of AP EAPCET 2026 will be announced on the official website. During this time, candidates are advised to download the answer key and response sheet, check for any errors in the marked answers, and file objections if needed.
