How to Download Official KVS NVS Answer Key (Once Released):

• Visit one of the above sites (likely CBSE or KVS).
  • Look for “KVS/NVS Answer Key 2026” or “Provisional Answer Key Tier-1” link.
  • Login with your Application Number/Registration ID + Password/Date of Birth.
  • Download PDF (question paper + responses) and response sheet.
  • Raise objections (if any) wiin the window (usually 3–5 days, with fee per question).

Current Status

• No official provisional/final key PDF is live on KVS/NVS/CBSE sites for this cycle.
• Unofficial/expected answer keys are widely available from coaching channels (e.g., Adda247, Teaching Pariksha, Ankit Sir on YouTube) for shifts on Jan 10 (PRT) and Jan 11 (PGT/TGT). These include shift-wise analysis, expected cut-offs, and solved papers (e.g., PGT Shift 1 PDF samples circulating).
• For NVS Non-Teaching (earlier cycle): Answer key released in June 2025, but that’s separate—not this 2026 teaching drive.

What to Do Now

• Refresh the official sites daily (especially CBSE recruitment page) in the coming days—3rd week of Jan is imminent.
• Use unofficial keys cautiously for self-evaluation (cross-check with multiple sources).
• Calculate tentative scores using response sheet (login soon after key release) + marking scheme (usually +1 correct, -0.25 or no negative for some sections—confirm in notification).
• Expected next steps: Objection window → Final key → Result/Merit list (Feb–March 2026 tentative).
