The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) releases the preliminary RP-APICTA Key for Andhra Pradesh Research Common Entrance Test (APRCET) three days after the exam. In the year 2024, APRCET online test is being conducted through the provision of test centers at designated locations in Andhra Pradesh. The APSCHE constitutes a team of subject experts after the exam, so as to prepare a provisional answer key, based on the questions that were asked during the test.
The APRCET 2024 answer booklet contains the appropriate answers to the questions asked in the examination. It is available on the official website of CECT - cets.apsche.ap.gov.in. A voter can do that after they log in and go to the answer key section. If students find any contradictions in their answers with reference to the model answer key presented, they can argue by submitting additional documents. APSCHE accepts a trivial rejection payment while bringing up a doubt.

- Generally available on APSCHE website 1-2 weeks after the examination, the actual answer key is usually what is published. Keep checking www.apsche.ap.gov.in.
- While the private tutoring institutes may release just after the examination, the unclear or presumed answer keys could be surfaced. These can serve as pre-test for you and allow you to self-estimation how many scores you will get before the official key is announced.
- Upon the release of the answer key you will be then required to download the PDF version of the official answer keys from the website. Gamify the task by giving feedback to the participants on whether they selected the right or wrong answer for the question to determine the participant's probable exam score.
- Determining the exact official key in the Advanced Placement exam is a crucial step prior to publishing APRCET results. In the instance when the no final answer key is the same, you will be allowed to complain.
