What is the difference between a Provisional Answer Key and a Final Answer Key?
A Provisional Answer Key is released immediately after the exam, allowing candidates to view their response sheets and challenge any incorrect answers within a stipulated objection window. The Final Answer Key is published after subject experts review candidate challenges, and no further representations are accepted after its release.
How do I submit an objection against a question in a government exam?
Log in to the official board portal using your Roll Number and Password, navigate to the "Raise Representation / Objection" tab, select the Question ID you wish to challenge, provide authentic documentary proof (from NCERT or standard textbooks), pay the prescribed fee per question (usually ₹50–₹100), and submit.
Do I get a refund of the objection fee if my challenge is accepted?
Yes. Most recruitment commissions (such as SSC and Railways RRB) refund the objection fee directly to the candidate's bank account if the subject expert committee upholds the challenge as valid.
