The provisional answer key is released by the Department of Posts shortly after the examination. It contains the initial set of correct answers as determined by the examination committee. Candidates are encouraged to review this key carefully as it forms the basis for calculating preliminary scores. The provisional nature indicates that these answers may be subject to review based on valid objections from candidates.

Candidates who identify potential errors in the provisional answer key can submit objections through the official portal. Each objection must include the question number, the answer you believe is correct, and a brief justification with supporting evidence. There is typically a nominal fee for each objection, which is refundable if the objection is accepted. The examination authority reviews all valid objections before finalizing the answer key.

The final answer key is released after the examination authority has considered all valid objections to the provisional key. This key is considered final and binding for the purpose of evaluating candidates' performance. The final answer key is used to calculate the official scores and determine the merit list. Once the final answer key is published, no further objections are entertained.
