The provisional answer key will provide candidates with an opportunity to evaluate their performance and identify any discrepancies in the answers released by the examination authority.

Following the release of the provisional answer key, the BCI will open an objection-raising window, allowing candidates to challenge answers they believe are incorrect. To submit an objection, candidates will be required to pay a non-refundable fee of Rs 500 per question challenged.
The objections received will be reviewed by subject experts, after which the council will publish the final answer key. The AIBE XXI results will be prepared and announced on the basis of the final answer key.
