HPSC Answer Key & Objection Filing for Assistant Engineer (Civil) & Sub Divisional Engineer (Civil) Posts — Haryana 2026
Published 17 Jun 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) has released the answer key for the Assistant Engineer (Civil) and Sub Divisional Engineer (Civil) recruitment examination as per the official notification. This is the provisional answer key, which allows candidates to cross-check their responses against the official solutions and estimate their likely performance before the final result is declared.
Candidates who believe that one or more answers in the provisional key contain errors or ambiguities are invited to file objections during the specified window. Each objection must be accompanied by the prescribed fee per question, along with supporting documentation or reasoning for the challenge. The objection submission process is conducted online through the official HPSC portal.
Once objections are received and reviewed by the Commission's subject experts, a final answer key will be prepared and published. The final key will reflect any corrections deemed valid by HPSC, and this corrected version will be used to calculate the official scores and determine the merit list. Candidates can then download their individual response sheets and detailed score cards from the portal.
The timeline for result publication and the next stages (interview, document verification, final selection) will follow the standard HPSC recruitment process as communicated in subsequent official notifications. Candidates are advised to retain copies of their objections and receipts for future reference and correspondence with the Commission.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the provisional and final answer key?▾
The provisional answer key is released first to allow candidates to self-evaluate and raise objections. The final answer key is published after HPSC reviews all objections and makes corrections where deemed necessary by subject experts. The final key is used to calculate official scores.
How do I download the answer key and my response sheet?▾
Log in to the HPSC portal with your registration number and password. Go to the section for this recruitment and download the provisional answer key (PDF). Your individual response sheet may also be available in the 'My Results' or 'Download Documents' section after the key is published.
What is the deadline for filing objections?▾
As per the official notification, objections must be submitted within the specified window from the date of answer key release. Check the notification PDF or HPSC website for the exact closing date and time to avoid missing the deadline.
Is there a fee for raising objections, and what does it cover?▾
Yes, a prescribed fee per question is required to file an objection, as stated in the notification. This fee must be paid online at the time of submitting each objection. The fee covers the cost of expert review and evaluation of your challenge.
How is my estimated score calculated from the answer key?▾
Once you have the answer key, compare your responses with the official answers. Apply the marking scheme mentioned in the question paper or notification (usually +1 for correct, 0 for wrong, and sometimes –0.25 for each incorrect MCQ). The total gives your estimated score.
When will the final result and merit list be declared?▾
After the final answer key is published following objection review, HPSC typically announces the result date in a separate notification. The standard timeline for this exam type varies, but candidates can expect updates on the official website. Merit lists are released in phases as per the recruitment schedule.
Will my objection fee be refunded if my challenge is accepted?▾
Refund policy for objection fees is determined by HPSC on a case-by-case or bulk basis. Check the notification for explicit refund details, or contact HPSC directly if this information is not specified in the official notice.
What should I do if I cannot find my response sheet after the key is released?▾
Log in to the HPSC portal and check the 'Download Responses' or 'My Results' section. If your response sheet is not visible, contact HPSC's helpline or email support provided on the website with your registration number and exam details.
Can I file multiple objections for the same question if I have more evidence?▾
Typically, one objection per question is accepted. Consolidate all your reasoning and supporting documents in a single submission. If the notification allows supplementary evidence, you may clarify through official channels, but avoid duplicate objections to prevent processing delays.
What happens after the final answer key is out?▾
After the final key is published, scores are calculated for all candidates. HPSC then prepares the merit list and announces the next stage, which may include interview, document verification, or further rounds as per the recruitment notification. Candidates shortlisted are notified separately.
