    The APREIS society will release the APRJC CET answer key in April 2026. Students can access the official APRJC CET 2026 answer key from the official website at aprs.apcfss.in few days after the completion of the exam.

To access their results, candidates will need to log in using their registered credentials and registration/roll number. Applicants must download and print multiple copies of their APRJC CET Result 2026, as it will not be sent via mail or courier.

    Following the examination, candidates achieving qualifying scores will be invited to participate in counselling sessions. During these sessions, candidates will be afforded the opportunity to select their preferred residential junior college, contingent upon their respective ranks and the availability of seats.

Following this, the hall ticket will be made available for online download. Next, the APRJC exam itself will be conducted. Subsequently, the answer key will be released, allowing candidates to review their responses. The online scorecard/result will then be declared.
