The answer key released now contains information for centres in India and centres outside India. This answer key is divided into answers based on the shift and the date. This answer key does not contain information for the domestic or international candidates separately.
This answer key contains the "Correct Option ID" instead of the simple option numbers provided earlier, along with the Question ID using long numerical codes. This answer key is more streamlined and looks longer because it contains the questions followed by the final option IDs.
