How it works
Step-by-step
- Access the provisional answer key on the official APPSC portal (https://psc.ap.gov.in/) after it's released.
- Compare your responses with the provided answer key to calculate your estimated scores.
- If you find discrepancies, prepare your objections with supporting evidence.
- Submit objections through the designated channel on the official portal within the specified timeframe.
- Pay the required fee for each objection, if applicable.
- Await the final answer key after the commission reviews all objections.
Understanding the Provisional Answer Key
The provisional answer key is the initial version released by APPSC after the examination. It contains the answers that the commission believes are correct at the time of release.
Candidates can use this provisional key to estimate their performance and identify potential discrepancies. The provisional key is subject to revision based on objections received.
How to Raise Objections
Candidates who believe there are errors in the provisional answer key can submit objections through the official portal. Each objection must be accompanied by valid reasoning and supporting documents, if required.
The commission reviews all objections and may modify the answer key accordingly. Objections received after the deadline are typically not considered.
