RAS question
Which IIT released the GATE 2026 provisional answer keys on February 22?
Correct answer: (B) IIT Guwahati.
IIT Guwahati released the GATE 2026 provisional answer keys on February 22, 2026.
Explanation
IIT Guwahati conducted GATE 2026 and released the provisional answer keys on February 22, 2026. The official GATE 2026 portal identifies Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati as the organising institute and records the release of the master question papers, response sheets, and provisional answer keys. Candidates could submit objections to the provisional keys from February 25 to 28, 2026. The keys remained provisional because objections were invited before they were finalised.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) IIT Bombay neither conducted GATE 2026 nor released its provisional answer keys on February 22, 2026.
- (C) IIT Delhi was not the organising institute for GATE 2026 and did not release its provisional answer keys on February 22, 2026.
- (D) IIT Madras was not the organising institute for GATE 2026 and did not release its provisional answer keys on February 22, 2026.
Concept
In RAS current-affairs preparation, questions about national examinations often test the organising institute and the date of an official update. Identifying the issuing authority links an examination update to the institution responsible for that administrative announcement.
