CG SET candidates, your checking window is open — but it’s a short one, so don’t sit on it. The Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board (Vyapam) released the provisional model answer keys for the Chhattisgarh State Eligibility Test (CG SET 2026) on 21 October 2026, and objections close on 26 October 2026 at 3:00 PM. That’s five days. Miss it, and the key stands as it is.
Before you dive in, a word of caution. This is a provisional key, not the final one. Its whole point is to let you challenge answers you can prove wrong. Guessing at objections, or filing them without proof, wastes your money and your time.

How to Download the CG SET Answer Key
- Visit the official Vyapam portal, vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in.
- Find the CG SET 2026 model answer key link for your paper and subject.
- Download the Paper-I and Paper-II PDFs that match what you actually attempted — the keys are subject-wise, so grabbing the wrong subject’s PDF helps nobody.
- Compare the model answers against your own responses, question by question, and note every mismatch with its question number.
Raising an Objection? Read This First
Here’s where most candidates slip up. An objection without proof is treated as invalid — the board says so outright. And not just any proof counts: you need authentic references in PDF form. Guidebooks are explicitly not accepted as valid proof. So if your only evidence is “my coaching notes say otherwise,” save the Rs. 50.
The process runs online only, through your candidate login on the official portal. Objections sent by post or handed in person won’t be accepted. Once you’ve submitted, download the acknowledgement receipt — that’s your only evidence that the objection went through. After the window closes, subject experts examine the objections and their decision is final and binding. There is no second round of challenges.
One more practical point: the fee is Rs. 50 per question, and an objection isn’t considered complete until the fee is paid. So budget for the questions you’re genuinely sure about, not every answer that merely surprised you.
How to Use the Key Without Fooling Yourself
Here’s a method that actually works. Go through the key once, marking only the questions where you are certain the model answer is wrong and you can point to a textbook or other authentic source that proves it. Then go through a second time for the questions where you simply got a different answer — and be honest with yourself about how many of those are real errors in the key versus answers you guessed under exam pressure. The first pile is worth Rs. 50 a question. The second pile, mostly, is not.
It also helps to work subject-wise with a friend or two from the same subject, if you can. One candidate misreading a question is common; three candidates independently arriving at the same different answer is a much stronger signal. Just make sure each of you files your own objection with your own proof — a shared screenshot of a chat is not documentary evidence, and the board will treat it accordingly.
Finally, keep a copy of everything: the key PDFs you downloaded, the objections you filed, the fee receipts and the acknowledgement receipt for each submission. If the final key changes an answer you challenged, you’ll want that paper trail. If it doesn’t, you’ll at least know you challenged it properly instead of wondering whether your objection ever went through.
It’s also worth remembering what CG SET actually is, because the key matters beyond a single score. Qualifying SET is the eligibility gateway for Assistant Professor posts in Chhattisgarh, so a single wrong model answer can move a candidate across the qualifying line. That’s precisely why the objection window exists, and why it deserves more than a rushed skim on the last evening. Use the full window if you need it — but file early enough that a payment glitch or a slow upload on 26 October doesn’t cost you the chance.
What Happens Next?
After experts review the objections, Vyapam will publish the final answer key, and the CG SET result will follow from that. No date for either has been announced yet — and any site giving you one right now is guessing. Check vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in for the real announcement when it comes.
