- 1Open the official answer key or response-sheet link when it is available.
- 2Match your responses with the official correct options using the exam marking scheme.
- 3If an objection window is open, submit objections only through the official portal before the deadline.
- 4Save the acknowledgement or objection receipt for your records.
Unofficial answer keys can be useful for estimates, but final marks depend on the official key and board decision.

An answer key is the official set of correct responses released by a recruitment board after a government exam. It lets candidates calculate an expected score, raise objections against any disputed question, and plan for the next stage of selection.
This page lists the latest answer keys published on TrueJobs with direct links to the official PDF or candidate response sheet on the conducting body's portal.
Provisional vs final answer key
Provisional answer key — released shortly after the exam (often within 5–15 days). Candidates can raise objections against specific question IDs within a short window, usually by paying a small per-question fee.
Final answer key — released after the conducting body reviews all objections with subject experts. The final key is used to calculate marks and prepare the result. Once the final key is out, no further objections are accepted.
How to download and use an answer key
Open the official link from the listing below and log in with your roll number/registration number, password and captcha. Download both the question paper PDF and the answer key PDF together so you can cross-check accurately.
For exams that release a candidate response sheet (SSC, UPSC, RRB, IBPS, etc.), match your selected option against the official correct option to estimate your raw score using the exam's marking scheme (e.g., +1 / -0.25).
How to raise an objection
During the objection window, log in to the portal, select the disputed question ID, choose the option you believe is correct and upload supporting evidence (textbook reference, official source, etc.). Most portals charge a small fee (₹50–₹200) per objection, refunded if your challenge is accepted.
Submit objections before the deadline — late submissions are not considered. Keep a printout of the objection acknowledgement for your records.
What to check before trusting an unofficial key
Coaching institutes release "unofficial" answer keys on the same day as the exam — these are useful for a rough idea, but can contain errors. Always verify against the official provisional key once it is published before celebrating or worrying about your score.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the answer key released after the exam?
Most major exams release the provisional answer key within 5–15 days of the exam. The final key follows after the objection window closes, usually 3–6 weeks later.
How much does it cost to raise an objection?
The fee varies — typically ₹50–₹200 per question. The amount is refunded if your objection is accepted by the subject expert panel.
Will the answer key match my response sheet exactly?
The response sheet shows the options you marked, and the answer key shows the official correct option for each question. Compare them side by side to calculate your score.
Can I challenge the final answer key?
No. Once the final answer key is released, no further objections are accepted. The result is prepared using the final key.
Why do my marks change between the provisional and final key?
If the objection panel accepts a challenge — by changing the correct option, dropping a question or awarding full marks to all — every candidate's score is recalculated accordingly.
Where do I find the official answer key link?
TrueJobs links the official conducting body's page from each listing on this hub. Always download the key from the official source, not from a third-party blog.
