Two days after the exam, MPPSC has put out the provisional answer key for the State Forest Service Main Exam 2026 — “provisional” meaning this is the first version, which can still change if a candidate proves an answer wrong. One combined key covers all four question sets, A to D, across 150 questions. You get five days to file an objection, but the clock does not start on the day the key came out. It starts on the day MPPSC puts the objection link on its website, and as on 29.09.2026 that link had not yet appeared.
From the date the objection link appears on mppsc.mp.gov.in (not yet live)

How to Raise an Objection
Download the provisional answer key PDF and check your set letter — A, B, C or D — on your question paper. All four sets sit in one table, so find your question number under your own set’s column, then read the answer in the ANS column at the end of that row.
Note the exact question you disagree with and find printed proof for the answer you believe is right.
Get your evidence ready. The notification makes five things compulsory: the name of the reference book, the author’s name, the exact page, the year of publication, and the edition or the attached document.
Go to mppsc.mp.gov.in and open the objection link for this exam once it appears on the website.
File the objection online, attach your proof, and pay the prescribed fee before the five days are up.
Note: Objections are accepted online only. Once the five days are over, MPPSC will not take objections from candidates of this exam, and the commission has said no correspondence on the matter will be entertained.
Sending an objection with no proof behind it. MPPSC asks for certified references, and an objection that just says the answer looks wrong will not get you anywhere.
Leaving out one of the five required details. Book name, author, page, publication year and edition or attached document are all compulsory, so missing even one can sink an otherwise good objection.
Waiting for a fixed closing date to be announced. The five days run from the day the objection link appears, so check the MPPSC website daily rather than assuming you will be told.
Filing on the last day. The fee has to go through as well, and a payment that fails at 11 pm leaves you no time to try again.
Reading the wrong column. All four sets sit in the same table, and comparing your paper against another set’s numbering will make correct answers look wrong.
Treating this key as final. Your score from it is only an estimate until MPPSC publishes the final key after objections are examined.
