How to Calculate Scores

To estimate your preliminary test score:

• Count the number of questions where your response matches the Model Answer.
• Multiply by the marks per question as per the official notification. (Note: The answer key notice does not specify the exact marks per question or negative marking; candidates are advised to refer to the original advertisement for the marking scheme.)
• If negative marking applies, deduct the penalty for incorrect answers accordingly.

Objection/Challenge Process

Candidates who disagree with any Model Answer can raise an objection through the official portal. Key rules:

• Objection window: From 24 September 2026, 11:00 a.m. to 1 October 2026, 10:59 a.m.
• Fee: ₹50 per objection (non-refundable, payable online).
• Supporting document: Must attach a copy of an authentic source (e.g., textbook, official notification) as proof.
• Mode: Only through the official objection link; objections sent by post/email are rejected.
• Decision: The High Court's decision on objections is final and binding.

To object, log in to the same portal used for the answer key, locate the objection section, and follow the instructions carefully.

What's Next?

After the objection window closes, the High Court will review all valid objections and release a Final Model Answer. This final key will be used to prepare the Preliminary Test result. If no objections are received, the initially published Model Answer will be considered final. Candidates should regularly visit patnahighcourt.gov.in for result announcements and further stages (e.g., main exam, interview).
