How to Raise an Objection Against the Answer Key

1. Visit the APSC website at apsc.nic.in and open the Answer Keys page.
2. Download the provisional answer key for your subject — Civil, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering — and match it against your question booklet series (A, B, C or D).
3. Open the objection portal through the CLICK TO SUBMIT OBJECTIONS link and log in by selecting Advertisement Number 22/2025 and your Post Name, then entering your Roll Number, Date of Birth (dd-mm-yyyy), registered mobile number and the captcha.
4. Select the question you are challenging and enter your claim, attaching an authentic source — a standard textbook, an official publication or a similar verifiable document — to substantiate it.
5. Submit the objection on or before 11.09.2026 and save a copy of the acknowledgement for your records.

Note: APSC will not entertain any claim that is not supported by an authentic source, and a reference to a website or an unspecified document is not accepted as one. Petitions sent by email or in hard copy will not be considered at all.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Checking your answers against the wrong series — each subject has four keys (Series A, B, C and D), so match the series printed on your own question booklet.
• Submitting an objection without an authentic source; APSC states plainly that unsupported claims will not be entertained.
• Citing a website or an unspecified document as proof — the notification specifically rules both out.
• Emailing the Commission or posting a hard copy instead of using the online link, which means the objection is never considered.
• Waiting until 11.09.2026 to log in, when a portal slowdown or a forgotten registered mobile number can cost you the window entirely.
• Assuming this provisional key is final — marks are awarded on the final key APSC issues after reviewing all claims.
