How to Calculate Scores

Based on standard KPSC practice, each exam consisted of 100 questions. The marking scheme is as follows (candidates should verify exact scheme from the official notification):

• Correct Answer: Likely 1 mark per question (common for objective-type KPSC exams).
• Incorrect Answer: Some KPSC exams have no negative marking, but check the specific notification for confirmation.
• Question Cancelled: As per the final answer key, if a question is marked “Question Cancelled”, it will not be counted for scoring. All candidates who attempted that question are treated equally.

To calculate your estimated score: Count the number of correct answers (matching the final answer key) and multiply by the marks per question. Deduct any negative marks only if applicable as per the official notification.

Objection/Challenge Process

The Final Answer Key has been released after reviewing all objections received against the Provisional Answer Key. As per standard KPSC procedure:

• The objection window is now closed. No further challenges are accepted for this final key.
• Candidates who had previously filed objections may check the final key to see if their challenges were accepted.
• For future reference, objections were typically submitted online with a fee (e.g., ₹100 per question) within a specific period after the provisional key release.

Always refer to the official KPSC notification for detailed objection rules.
