OPSC Answer Key — How to Check

OPSC publishes a provisional answer key for its objective papers so candidates can audit the evaluation and object before it becomes final. This page explains the key, the objection route and how the final key drives the result.

Facts last verified 16 July 2026

1. Download the provisional answer key from opsc.gov.in when it is published.
2. Match your recorded responses against the key to estimate your standing.
3. Note questions you believe are wrongly keyed and collect standard references.
4. Submit objections/representations through the notified channel within the window.
5. Check the final answer key once objections are disposed — results follow it.

OPSC releases provisional answer keys for objective papers with an objection window, then final keys after expert review — the final key governs evaluation.

The provisional key exists for transparency: it lets candidates audit the evaluation before it becomes final.

Challenge only questions where you can cite a standard reference (official syllabus source, standard textbook) — opinion-based objections are dismissed.

File within the window and keep the acknowledgement; late representations are not considered regardless of merit.

The final key incorporates accepted objections — dropped questions are handled per the notified policy, and the result is computed only from this corrected key.
