Assistant District Attorney & Superintendent (Legal) Answer Key – Haryana PSC 2026
Published 8 Jul 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) has released the provisional answer key for the examinations held on 5 July 2026 for the posts of Assistant District Attorney (ADA) in the Prosecution Department and Superintendent (Legal) in the Law and Legislative Department of Haryana (Advertisement No. 18/2025 and 01/2025 respectively). The answer key, uploaded on 7 July 2026, allows candidates to cross‑check their responses against the official solution booklet. As is customary for HPSC examinations, this is a provisional key; a final key will be issued after the objection period closes and any discrepancies are resolved. Candidates can estimate their scores by applying the marking scheme indicated in the official notice – typically one mark per correct answer with any negative marking as prescribed.
If a candidate believes a question has been incorrectly keyed, they may file an objection within the window specified in the PDF (usually a few days after the release). The objection process requires the candidate to submit the specific question number, a brief justification, and pay any per‑question fee mentioned in the notice. All objections are reviewed by a designated committee, and the final answer key is updated accordingly.
Once the final key is published, HPSC proceeds with the usual result declaration timeline, which generally follows a few weeks after the final key release. Scores calculated from the final key determine merit ranking and subsequent merit‑list preparation for the two posts. Candidates are advised to monitor the HPSC portal regularly for updates on the final key, result release dates, and any additional instructions.
The objection mechanism ensures transparency and gives aspirants a fair chance to contest any perceived errors. It is essential to adhere strictly to the guidelines – including deadlines, fee payment, and document submission – to have an objection considered. After the final key is confirmed, the official result will be posted on the HPSC website, and successful candidates will receive further communication regarding selection and appointment procedures.
