TPSC Provisional Answer Key – Programmer & System Analyst Posts (2026)
Published 17 Jun 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) has released the provisional answer key for the Programmer and System Analyst recruitment examination. This provisional key allows candidates to review the official answers to all questions posed in the exam and to estimate their likely score before the final answer key is published.
Candidates who disagree with any answer in the provisional key may file a formal challenge or objection within the window specified by TPSC on its official website. The objection process typically involves logging into the candidate portal, selecting the question(s) in dispute, submitting detailed reasoning or supporting evidence, and paying the prescribed fee per objection (as per the official notification). TPSC will review all objections and issue clarifications or corrections as warranted.
Following the objection period, TPSC will publish the final answer key, incorporating any amendments arising from candidate challenges. The final key will then be used to evaluate all answer sheets and determine merit scores. Result declaration will follow as per the standard recruitment timeline for this examination.
Candidates are advised to download the provisional key promptly, cross-check their responses, and submit objections only if they have credible grounds, supported by references or evidence. Objection fees are typically non-refundable unless the challenge is upheld and results in an official key amendment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a provisional answer key and how is it different from the final answer key?▾
A provisional answer key is the tentative set of correct answers released by TPSC immediately after the examination. It allows candidates to self-evaluate before results are announced. The final answer key is published after TPSC reviews all candidate objections and makes any necessary corrections. Only the final key is used to calculate official merit scores and results.
How do I download the provisional answer key?▾
Visit https://tpsc.tripura.gov.in, locate the link for the Provisional Answer Key (Programmer & System Analyst Posts), and click to download the PDF. You may also need to log in with your registration credentials to access candidate-specific response sheets on the portal.
What is the deadline for filing an objection to the provisional answer key?▾
The objection window is specified on the TPSC website alongside the provisional key announcement. Candidates must submit all objections within this deadline; late submissions are typically not accepted. It is advisable to download the key and check the objection window immediately upon release.
Is there a fee to file an objection, and will it be refunded?▾
As per the official notification, a prescribed fee per objection may be charged. Objection fees are usually non-refundable unless TPSC accepts the objection and officially amends the answer key, in which case a refund may be processed as per the commission's policy.
How can I calculate my likely score using the provisional answer key?▾
Download the provisional answer key and compare your marked responses against each answer provided. Apply the marking scheme (typically +1 mark per correct answer and −0.25 or similar for wrong answers, if negative marking is applicable) to estimate your total score. However, note that this is an estimate and will be finalized only after the final key is published.
What should I include in my objection submission?▾
Your objection should state clearly which question you are challenging and why you believe the provisional answer is incorrect. Provide credible supporting evidence—such as references to textbooks, official documents, or authoritative sources—that justify your claim. Vague or unsupported objections are unlikely to result in a key amendment.
When will the final answer key be published?▾
TPSC typically publishes the final answer key after reviewing all objections, which usually takes 2–4 weeks from the end of the objection window (as per the official notification timeline). The exact date will be announced on the commission's website.
After the final answer key is published, when will the results be declared?▾
Results are declared after the final answer key is finalized and all answer sheets have been evaluated. The timeline varies; candidates should regularly check the TPSC website for updates. The commission typically announces the result date in advance on its official portal.
Can I access my marked responses or the OMR sheet through the portal?▾
Most recruitment commissions allow candidates to view their marked responses and OMR scans through the official candidate portal after the provisional answer key is released. Log in with your credentials and navigate to 'My Responses' or 'View Answer Sheet' section to verify your answers against the key.
What happens if TPSC accepts my objection and changes the answer key?▾
If your objection is accepted and the answer key is officially amended, all candidates' scores will be recalculated using the corrected final key to ensure fairness. If your objection led to the amendment, your objection fee may be refunded as per TPSC policy. The final result will reflect all such corrections.
