The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay will soon publish the UCEED 2026 Part A answer key along with the candidates’ response sheets on the official UCEED website — uceed.iitb.ac.in. This release helps examinees verify their tentative scores by comparing attempted answers with the provisional key.
Draft and Final Answer Key Release Timeline
The UCEED 2026 draft answer key for Part A is expected to be made available first, followed by a window for candidates to submit comments or objections via the online portal. After reviewing all objections, IIT Bombay is scheduled to issue the final Part A answer key by January 28, 2026 (5:00 pm). Part A consists of multiple‑choice and objective‑type questions administered in computer‑based mode. No answer key will be released for Part B, as this section involves subjective responses evaluated manually by exam authorities.
How to Check and Download the UCEED Answer Key?
Once the answer key is live, candidates can follow these steps to access the documents:
- Visit the official UCEED 2026 website — uceed.iitb.ac.in.
- Navigate to the candidate login section.
- Enter your registered email ID and password.
- View and download the Part A draft/final answer key and response sheet.
The response sheet allows candidates to cross‑check their answers and estimate probable scores before the official result is announced.
Objection Submission Process
After the draft key is released, candidates will have a limited timeframe to upload objections against any disputed answers through the candidate portal. Objections must be submitted with justification within the specified deadline, typically before January 22, 2026, 5:00 pm.
What Happens After the Final Key?
Following the final Part A key release, the UCEED 2026 results will be computed based on the validated draft and final answers, along with the evaluation of Part B performance. Results are expected to be declared on March 6, 2026, with scorecards available from March 10, 2026. Aspirants are advised to regularly check the official portal — uceed.iitb.ac.in for updates on answer key release, objection dates and detailed instructions related to the UCEED 2026 evaluation process.
