⚠️ How to Raise Objections

If you think any answer in the provisional key is wrong or ambiguous, BPSC provides a window to raise objections. Below are the details:

• Objection Period: 21 to 27 September 2025. Only objections submitted during this period will be considered. 

• Relevant Section: Typically, objections are accepted for specific subjects or sections (often GK/general knowledge, which could have more disputable answers). 

• Login Required: Candidates will need to log in to the BPSC portal (using their registered credentials) to submit objections. 

• Fee per Objection: There is a non-refundable fee of ₹250 per question challenged. 

🧮 Marking Scheme & Score Estimation

• Each correct answer will fetch +1 mark. 

• Each wrong answer will result in -0.33 marks (i.e. negative marking) as per the official scheme. 

• With the answer key in hand, you can estimate your score by doing:

  $$\text{Estimated Score}=(\text{Number of Correct Answers}\times 1)-0.33\times (\text{Number of Incorrect Answers})$$

📊 Vacancies & Background

• BPSC is using this examination to fill 1,264 vacancies under the 71st CCE. This count includes some recent additions. 

• The prelims exam had a large number of candidates, and the answer key aims to bring transparency to how scoring would proceed. 

✅ Tips for Candidates

• Review carefully: Compare your answers with the key, especially in questions where you were uncertain.

• Collect proof: If you plan to object, gather corroborative evidence (textbooks, official sources, etc.) before submitting. Strong proof improves chances of acceptance.

• Submit on time: Do not wait till the last date. Technical glitches or high site traffic may delay submissions.

• Check objection fee policy: Since there’s a cost per objection, only challenge when you are reasonably sure.

• Keep a printout of your objection submission for future reference.
