The Consortium of Medical, Engineering, and Dental Colleges of Karnataka (COMEDK) today, May 22, 2026, released the provisional answer key for the Undergraduate Entrance Test (UGET) 2026. Candidates who appeared for the examination can now access the answer key on the official website, comedk.org. This release allows applicants to review their responses against the provided solutions and calculate their probable scores ahead of the final results.

The UGET 2026 examination, conducted by COMEDK for admissions into engineering and architectural courses in member institutions, was held on May 12, 2026, across various examination centers. The provisional answer key represents a significant step in the post-examination process, offering transparency and providing candidates with an opportunity to verify the accuracy of the questions and their corresponding official solutions.

Following the release of the provisional key, COMEDK has also opened a dedicated window for candidates to raise objections against any discrepancies they identify. This mechanism allows for the submission of challenges regarding potentially incorrect questions or answers. The objection submission period commenced on May 22, 2026, and will conclude on May 26, 2026, at 5:00 PM. Objections must be submitted online through the candidate's login portal on the COMEDK website. A non-refundable fee of ₹500 is required for each objection raised, regardless of whether the challenge is ultimately validated.

Key Steps to Access the COMEDK UGET 2026 Provisional Answer Key:

  • Visit the official COMEDK website: comedk.org
  • Locate and click on the "UGET 2026" section or the specific link designated for the provisional answer key.
  • Log in using your application sequence number/user ID and password.
  • The subject-wise provisional answer key will be displayed on the screen.
  • Candidates are advised to download and print a copy for detailed review and calculation of estimated scores.

Procedure for Raising Objections Against the Provisional Answer Key:

  • Access the objection submission portal via your candidate login on comedk.org.
  • Identify the specific question ID and the proposed correct answer that a candidate wishes to challenge.
  • Provide comprehensive justification for the objection and upload supporting documentation or references (e.g., relevant textbook pages, authoritative academic sources) to corroborate the claim.
  • Proceed to pay the non-refundable objection fee of ₹500 per question using the integrated online payment gateway.
  • Carefully review all submitted details and supporting evidence before finalizing the objection submission.

Upon the closure of the objection window, all submitted challenges will undergo scrutiny by a panel of subject matter experts appointed by COMEDK. If an objection is found to be valid and justified, the provisional answer key will be revised accordingly. The final answer key, incorporating any necessary corrections, is expected to be published subsequent to this review process.

The release of the final answer key will be followed by the declaration of the COMEDK UGET 2026 results, which will include individual candidate scores and ranks. These results are foundational for the subsequent counseling process, through which qualified candidates will secure admissions to various undergraduate engineering and architectural programs in participating institutions across Karnataka for the academic year 2026-27. Further official announcements regarding the final answer key release, result declaration, and the detailed counseling schedule will be made available on the COMEDK website.
