If you sat the Home Guards screening test on 04.10.2026, you have until 08.10.2026 to challenge any answer in APSC’s key. The Assam Public Service Commission has put the provisional Paper-I answer keys on its website for the Class-I (Junior Grade) Home Guards post, advertised under Advt. No. 02/2026.
Provisional means this is the first version of the key. APSC may correct it if it accepts a candidate’s claim. The test was OMR-based, which means you marked your answers on a bubble sheet that a machine scans, and every question was multiple choice (MCQ).
One rule matters more than the rest: every claim needs an authentic source to back it up. A claim without proof, or one that only points to a website or unnamed documents, will not be considered.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not send your objection by email or post. The notice says petitions by email or hard copy will not be considered.
- Back every claim with proof. A claim that is not supported by an authentic source will not be entertained.
- Name your source exactly. A general reference to a website or to unspecified documents will not be entertained.
- Do not wait for the last day. The notice gives 08.10.2026 as the date but does not state a closing time.
- Check your own series only. The key lists Series A, B, C and D separately, so matching against the wrong series will give wrong results.
- Treat any score you work out as an estimate, because the key is provisional and can still change.
