Prosecuting Officer (G) 2025 — Final Answer Key (Paper-I & Paper-II) — J&K Public Service Commission
Published 17 Jun 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Jammu and Kashmir Public Service Commission (J&K PSC) has released the final answer keys for Paper-I and Paper-II of the Prosecuting Officer (G) 2025 preliminary examination, held on 31 May 2026. The final key is based on expert evaluation of objections received against the provisional answer key released on the same day. This document allows candidates to cross-check their responses and estimate their likely score.
Candidates were initially given a three-day window to file objections against any provisional answer they believed was incorrect. An objection required submission on a prescribed proforma to the Controller of Examinations with documentary proof or evidence and a non-refundable fee of ₹500 per question. No objections were received for Paper-I, but objections for Paper-II were referred to subject-matter experts per the J&K PSC (Conduct of Examination) Rules, 2022. The experts recommended changes to certain answers in Paper-II, which have now been adopted and reflected in these final keys.
Where questions have been deleted or answers changed, the marks allocated to those questions are individually added to each candidate's score to preserve the total mark value of the paper. Candidates who filed valid objections and had their representations upheld will receive refund of their ₹500 fee via RTGS transfer to their individual bank accounts.
The final answer keys serve as the official basis for evaluation of candidate responses during result compilation. Candidates may use these keys to cross-reference their answers, though the final result—including merit list and cut-off marks—will be declared according to J&K PSC's standard timeline for this examination category.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the provisional and final answer keys?▾
The provisional answer key was released immediately after the examination on 31 May 2026 to allow candidates to file objections within three days. The final answer key, issued on 15 June 2026, incorporates changes recommended by subject-matter experts after review of those objections. No objections were received for Paper-I, but objections for Paper-II were evaluated by experts, resulting in some answer changes in the final key.
How do I download the final answer keys?▾
Visit jkpsc.nic.in and search for the notification 'PSC/Exam/S/2026/54 dated 15.06.2026' for Prosecuting Officer (G) 2025. The final answer keys are provided as Annexure A (Paper-I) and Annexure B (Paper-II) within the notification PDF.
What was the objection process and is it still open?▾
The objection window for the provisional answer key closed three days after 31 May 2026. Candidates could file objections by submitting a prescribed proforma to the Controller of Examinations with documentary proof and a non-refundable fee of ₹500 per question. This window has now closed; the final key reflects all expert-reviewed objections.
Will I get my ₹500 objection fee back if my objection was upheld?▾
Yes, if your objection was genuine and correct, the ₹500 fee will be refunded. J&K PSC will transfer the amount via RTGS to your individual bank account. Check your registered email for confirmation and track your bank account for the credit.
How do I calculate my expected score using the final answer key?▾
Mark your responses against the final answer key. Each correct answer earns marks according to the marking scheme (typically 1 mark per question, with possible negative marking for wrong answers—refer to the official examination notification for exact details). For any questions that were deleted, the allocated marks will be added to all candidates' scores during the official evaluation process, so you need not manually adjust for them.
When will the final result be declared?▾
The final result will be declared after the official evaluation of answer sheets based on the final answer key. J&K PSC typically follows a standard timeline for preliminary examinations; the exact result date will be announced separately in the official notification. Monitor jkpsc.nic.in for updates.
I found a question marked as 'DELETE' in the final key. What does this mean?▾
A 'DELETE' marking means that question has been removed from evaluation, likely due to expert assessment that it was flawed or ambiguous. All candidates will receive full marks for that question during score calculation to ensure the total mark value of the paper remains unchanged.
Can I challenge the final answer key?▾
The objection window for the provisional answer key has closed. The final key issued on 15 June 2026 reflects expert-reviewed objections and is deemed final. If you have concerns, contact the Controller of Examinations at the J&K PSC office with documentary evidence; however, the standard objection process is complete.
