Indian Coast Guard updates
The Indian Coast Guard provides a provisional answer key for the Navik & Assistant Commandant Recruitment examination. This answer key allows candidates to verify their responses and raise objections if necessary.
Facts last verified 5 July 2026
How it works
The provisional answer key is released by the Indian Coast Guard shortly after the examination. It contains the correct answers to all questions asked in the test. Candidates can use this key to estimate their scores and identify potential discrepancies in the official responses.
Candidates can raise objections against any question in the provisional answer key by submitting valid evidence through the official portal. Each objection must be accompanied by relevant documentation supporting the alternative answer. A nominal fee may be required for each objection submitted.
After reviewing all objections, the Indian Coast Guard releases the final answer key. This key incorporates valid objections and represents the definitive answer for score calculation. The final answer key is binding and cannot be challenged further.
