If you’re seeing the update “OMR response announced” for AISSEE 2026 (All India Sainik Schools Entrance Examination), it means the exam authority has uploaded your scanned OMR sheet and recorded responses on the official portal. This is the most important step before results, because you can verify what was captured from your OMR bubbles and (if needed) submit challenges within the deadline.
What Does “OMR Response Announced” Mean?
In paper-pen entrance exams like AISSEE, students mark answers on an OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheet. After the exam:
- the OMR sheet is scanned,
- the system reads the shaded bubbles,
- and the exam authority uploads the scanned OMR image + recorded responses so candidates can verify them.
This helps you confirm:
- what you actually marked,
- whether any bubble got captured incorrectly,
- and whether there are any issues like double-marking.
What Has Been Released for AISSEE 2026?
On the portal, you can typically view:
- Scanned OMR Answer Sheet (image/PDF)
- Recorded Responses (system-captured answers)
- Provisional Answer Key
Important Deadline (Don’t Miss This)
The viewing and challenge window is available only for a limited time.
So download and save your OMR response sheet immediately (PDF + screenshot).
How to Download Your AISSEE 2026 OMR Response Sheet (Step-by-Step)
- Go to the AISSEE official portal and login
- Enter Application Number + Password
- Click “View and Challenge OMR”
- Download / save the scanned OMR sheet
- Click “View and Challenge Recorded OMR” to see the answers captured by the system
Pro tip: Save it in two places (phone + laptop). OMR links often get disabled after the window closes.
What Are “Recorded Responses”?
Recorded responses are the options the system captured from your OMR shading and will use to calculate your final score.
Sometimes you may notice a symbol like * for a question. This usually indicates multiple marking (more than one bubble shaded for a single question). In most OMR evaluations, such questions are treated as invalid.
How to Challenge a Recorded Response (OMR Challenge)
If you believe the system captured your shaded bubble incorrectly (for example, you clearly shaded B but recorded response shows C), the portal may allow an OMR challenge.
Typical process:
- Select the question(s)
- Submit the request online
- Pay the required fee per response challenged (often non-refundable)
- Your challenge is verified against the actual scanned record
Important: OMR challenges are meant for recording/capture errors, not for “I remember marking a different option.”
Provisional Answer Key Challenge (If You Think the Key Is Wrong)
Along with OMR responses, the portal usually also provides the provisional answer key.
If you believe a particular answer in the key is wrong:
- Challenge the question online
- Upload supporting proof (as allowed in the portal instructions)
- Pay the required fee per question challenged (often non-refundable)
- Subject experts review challenges
- A final answer key is released, and results are prepared using the final key
Note: Most exam authorities do not individually notify whether your challenge was accepted; the final key itself becomes the final decision.
