Why the Response Sheet Is Useful

If something on it looks completely wrong, note it down and read the official instructions on what you can do.

How to Compare Your Answers

Take your time with this. Keep the two files open side by side, or print them.

These tips are from us and are not official rules.

Can You Work Out Your Marks?

We could not confirm the marking scheme from the details available. Your information brochure will have the correct rule, so please use that.

Also remember that SET is an eligibility test. Clearing it depends on the rules in your brochure, not just on a raw score.

Should You Challenge an Answer?

Each challenge costs Rs. 200, so ask yourself three questions before you pay.

Question If Yes
Do I have proof from a good source? Save it as a PDF
Have I checked the right paper code? Move to the next question
Does this question matter for me? Go ahead and file it

You file challenges online on the SET website, and proof is uploaded as a PDF. Please check the last date on the website first, because we could not confirm it from the details we have.

What Happens Next

The university reviews valid challenges and finalises the key. The result date is not confirmed in our details, so please keep an eye on the official website. Meanwhile, keep your login details and documents safe.
