Answer Key Release and Objections
NBEMS has not yet announced an official release date. However, based on past trends, the provisional answer key typically appears within a week of the exam. With the exam on March 7, 2026, the release this week is probable.
The board will allow candidates to raise objections if they identify any errors. This objection process will also be managed online through the official website. An expert committee will review submitted objections.
Following the review, NBEMS will publish a final answer key. This final key will incorporate any necessary corrections.
Score Calculation and Results
Students can use the provisional answer key to estimate their scores. The marking scheme for the GPAT 2026 exam will be required for this calculation.
The GPAT 2026 response sheet will be released alongside the answer key. This allows candidates to cross-reference their submitted answers with the official key.
Results for GPAT 2026 are expected by April 2026. This timeline allows for the processing of objections and the finalization of scores.
