Facts last verified 17 July 2026
How it works
The provisional answer key is released by MPSC after the examination to provide candidates with an initial assessment of their performance. This key is subject to verification and may contain errors or discrepancies.
Candidates are encouraged to carefully review the provisional answer key and compare it with their responses. The provisional key serves as a reference point for candidates to estimate their scores before the final results are declared.
Candidates who find discrepancies in the provisional answer key can raise objections through the official MPSC portal. Each objection must be submitted with valid reasoning and supporting evidence if applicable.
The commission specifies a fee for each objection, which must be paid online. Objections received after the deadline or without proper justification may not be considered. The portal provides a dedicated section for submitting these objections.
After reviewing all valid objections, MPSC releases the final answer key, which is considered the definitive document for evaluation. The final key incorporates corrections based on the objections received.
The final answer key is used for the official evaluation of answer sheets and determination of results. Once the final key is published, no further objections are entertained, and the evaluation process proceeds based on this key.
