The mains exam for 708 Forest Guard and Wildlife Guard posts was held on 27 September, and UPSSSC has put the provisional answer key online just two days later. Provisional means this is the first version of the key — it can still change before the commission finalises it. The key is published as a master set, carrying every question with its correct answer in both Hindi and English, and it stays on the commission’s website only till 05.10.2026.
On the home page, look at the scrolling list of notices and find the entry dated 29/09/2026 that mentions विज्ञापन संख्या-12-परीक्षा/2026, वन रक्षक व वन्य जीव रक्षक मुख्य परीक्षा.
Click that entry. It opens the answer key PDF directly — no login, registration number or date of birth is needed.
The PDF is a master set: each question is printed in Hindi and English with the correct answer in bold below it.
Save the file to your phone or computer straight away, because the commission will take the link down after 05.10.2026.
Note: UPSSSC posted another notice the same day for Advertisement No. 15-Exam/2026, the Forensic Science Laboratory mains exam. Check the advertisement number printed on the first page of the PDF before you start matching answers, so you are working from the right key.
Is There an Objection Window?
The commission’s notice does not mention one. It says only that the provisional answer key will stay on the website till 05.10.2026, and it gives no objection portal, no closing time and no per-question fee. So do not assume 05.10.2026 is an objection deadline — on the strength of this notice it is simply the day the link comes down. If UPSSSC opens an objection facility later, it will issue a separate notice, and we will update this page when it does.
Do not leave it for later. The commission has said plainly that the key stays up only till 05.10.2026, and once it is taken down you have no way to check your answers.
Do not treat your score as settled. This is a provisional key, so an answer can still change before the final version comes out.
Do not open the wrong PDF. Two answer keys went up on the same day; yours is the one that names Advertisement No. 12-Exam/2026 and the exam date 27-09-2026 on its first page.
Do not expect your own response sheet here. A master set gives the questions and correct answers only, so you will need your question paper or your own memory of what you marked.
Do not rely on unofficial keys circulating on social media. Match against the commission’s own PDF, which is the only one that counts.
