Key Dates for AP RCET Answer Key 2025

The answer key allows candidates to compare their answers with the correct ones provided by APSCHE. This helps them estimate their raw scores before the official results are declared. If a candidate believes there is a mistake in any question or answer in the preliminary key, they have a short window to challenge it by submitting an objection.

Previous Year Answer Key Trends

Understanding past release patterns can help candidates anticipate when the 2025 answer key might appear. Here is a look at the exam dates and answer key release dates from the last three AP RCET examinations:

The trend shows that in most cases, the answer key is released very quickly after the exam ends. For example, in 2024, it came out just three days after the exam. In 2022, it was even faster, released on the last day of the exam itself. However, in 2021, there was a longer wait of about 17 days between the exam and the answer key release. The expected date for 2025 aligns more with the faster release pattern seen in recent years.
