Since the exam was held just two days ago (on March 1, 2026), authorities have likely released the preliminary answer key along with your OMR sheet for challenge filing.
Here is how you can download it and what to do next:
How to Download
- Official Website: Visit the official website of the Directorate of Minorities Welfare / Morarji Residential Schools specific to your state (e.g., in Karnataka, it is often morarjihostels.karnataka.gov.in or the specific exam conducting agency’s portal).
- Candidate Login: Look for a link that says “OMR Sheet / Response Sheet for Exam held on 01-03-2026” or “Download OMR Sheet with Answer Key.”
- Enter Details: You will likely need to enter your Registration Number and Date of Birth (or Hall Ticket Number) to log in.
- Download: Your scanned OMR sheet will appear on the screen. It usually shows your responses alongside the official provisional answer key.
What to Check on Your OMR
· Darkness of bubble: Ensure the scanner read your marks clearly.
· Verification: Check if your answers match the provisional key. If there is a mismatch, you usually have a window of 2-3 days to raise an objection (by paying a small fee per question).
Next Steps
· Challenges: If you believe the answer key is wrong, look for the “Challenge Window” which will close within a day or two.
· Final Answer Key & Results: After considering challenges, the final key will be released, and your final score will be calculated. Results for residential schools usually follow within 2 to 4 weeks.
