Objection Process and Next Steps
After the provisional answer key is released, a designated objection window will be available during which candidates can raise challenges to any answer they believe is incorrect. Each objection typically requires supporting evidence and a nominal processing fee. Once the objection period closes and reviews are completed, CBSE will publish the final answer key. Following the final answer key, the result for the KVS NVS Tier-I exam will be declared based on evaluated scores using the final key.
