CCRAS Final Answer Key 2026 Officially Released After Objection Review
The Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) has issued a significant notification, marking the conclusion of the objection review process for its Computer Based Test conducted under Advertisement 04/2025. According to Notification No. 14 dated February 25, 2026, the council has finalized and released the answer key, bringing clarity to candidates who participated in the examination.
Examination Details and Objection Submission
The Computer Based Test was administered across 26 distinct subjects between November 24, 2025, and December 4, 2025. Following the examination, the council opened a window for candidates to raise objections regarding the provisional answer key. A total of 219 objections were submitted, pertaining to 138 different questions. Each objection underwent a rigorous verification process by designated experts before any final decisions were made.
Scrutiny Results: Minimal Objections Upheld
After thorough evaluation, the council announced that only five of the 219 objections were found to be valid. The remaining 214 objections were declared incorrect and were not accepted. The valid objections were distributed as follows: one each for the posts of Assistant, Upper Division Clerk, and Staff Nurse, and two for the post of Research Officer in Ayurveda. These accepted objections have been incorporated into the final assessment, ensuring accuracy in the evaluation process.
Accessing the Final Answer Key
The final answer key is now available online for all candidates. Applicants can view and download the key by logging into the official CCRAS portal using their registered ID and password. The council has specified that the relevant link will be active on February 28, 2026, with access available from 10:00 AM to 11:59 PM on that date. This limited window emphasizes the importance of timely action by candidates.
Fee Refund Policy for Valid Objections
In line with its procedures, CCRAS has outlined a fee refund process for candidates whose objections were upheld. Those with valid objections will receive a refund of the prescribed objection fee, processed according to the council's established guidelines. Conversely, fees submitted for objections that were not upheld will be forfeited, with no further review mechanisms indicated beyond the completed verification stage.
Closure of Objection Tracker and Next Steps
With the release of the final answer key, the objection tracker facility has been permanently closed. No additional representations will be entertained regarding the examination under Advertisement 04/2025, signaling the move to the concluding stages of the recruitment process. This step ensures transparency and finality for all stakeholders involved.
