Answer Key

Provisional answer keys with their objection windows. The objection period is usually short, often three days, and it closes whether or not you have checked your responses.

Guides

Raising an objection

Most commissions charge a fee per question challenged, commonly around ₹100, refunded only if your objection is upheld. Challenge a question only where you can cite a source, because a challenge with no supporting reference is almost never accepted and the fee is lost.

Download your response sheet at the same time as the answer key. It is usually available for the same short window and it is the only record of what you actually marked. Once the window closes you cannot retrieve it.

Estimating your score

Apply the negative marking stated in the notification rather than the one you remember from a previous cycle, because it changes. Calculate a range instead of a single figure, since some answers will shift when the final key is published after objections.
