Answer key by Resonance - What is in store?

For example, answer key for morning session (May 25) include keys to 167 questions, evening session (May 25) include 116 keys, morning session (May 26) have 146 keys, while evening session (May 26) has keys to 126 questions.

Why are keys not released for all the questions?

The discrepancy in number of questions asked in AIIMS MBBS exam and keys released by Resonance is because the institute had to gather the questions from candidates who have appeared in the exam. Considering AIIMS MBBS is a computer-based exam, candidates are not given any printed question papers; neither are they allowed to bring back any written text outside of the exam hall. So, any question shared by candidates to Resonance is based on memory. Now not many candidates remember all the questions.

Using keys to calculate expected score

By comparing the given keys with their own responses, candidates will get a good idea about their performance. Interestingly, each key is followed by a solution, which again will help the candidate understand how the key has been arrived at.

When will official AIIMS MBBS 2019 answer key be available?

AIIMS New Delhi, which is the exam conducting body, doesn’t usually release any answer keys. So unofficial answer keys by the different coaching institutes is the only option candidates have, unless the conducting body bucks the trend and releases the official keys.

In case AIIMS New Delhi releases official keys, then keys given in the official version will be the final authority on the correctness of a key. Also, official AIIMS MBBS answer keys if released at all, will be available before declaration of results on June 12.

AIIMS MBBS 2019 exam was conducted in two shifts per day on May 25 and 26. Around 3 lakh candidates appeared in the exam for admission to MBBS program offered at 15 participating institutes; there are 1,207 seats up for grabs, including 7 for foreign candidates.
