NBEMS has also provided candidates with the opportunity to raise objections if they find discrepancies in the provisional answer key. Candidates who wish to challenge any answer can submit their objections through the official portal by paying a non-refundable fee of ₹200 for each question challenged. The answer key challenge facility will remain available for three days from the date of release, allowing candidates sufficient time to carefully review the responses.
After the objection window closes, the examination authority will examine all the challenges submitted by candidates. Based on the review, necessary corrections will be made, and the final answer key will be published. The GPAT 2026 results will be prepared and declared on the basis of this revised final answer key.
