Final Answer Key – Sr. Scientific Officer (Home Dept.) Toxicology Division 2024 – RPSC
Published 4 Jul 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
This is the final answer key for the Sr. Scientific Officer (Home Department) competitive examination 2024, Toxicology Division, conducted by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), Ajmer. The written examination was held on 15 May 2025, and the final answer key was published on the RPSC website on 3 July 2026. The key contains 150 multiple-choice questions with single correct answers marked as options 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Candidates can use this final answer key to self-evaluate their performance by comparing their responses against the official answers. Since this is the final answer key (not provisional), the marking scheme applied during evaluation is already reflected in the official responses shown here. Candidates who had submitted objections during the provisional key window will see any corrections incorporated into these final answers.
The objection process for the provisional answer key typically allows candidates a defined window (usually 5–7 days from publication) to challenge any question or answer by submitting a formal request with supporting documents and the prescribed fee per question, as specified in the examination notification. Objections are reviewed by the Commission's subject experts, and if an objection is upheld, the answer key is amended and results are recalculated accordingly.
Once the final answer key is published, the RPSC proceeds to evaluate all answer sheets, apply the final marking scheme, and declare results within the timeline notified separately. Candidates are advised to check the official RPSC website for the result announcement and merit list.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download the final answer key?▾
Visit rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in, go to the Answer Keys section, and search for the Sr. Scientific Officer (Home Dept.) 2024 examination. Click on the PDF link dated 3 July 2026 to download the final answer key containing all 150 questions and their correct answers.
What is the difference between provisional and final answer keys?▾
A provisional answer key is published first to allow candidates to file objections within a specified window (usually 5–7 days). The Commission reviews objections, and if any are valid, answers are corrected. The final answer key incorporates all such corrections and is the version used to evaluate all answer sheets and declare results.
When was the provisional answer key released, and could I object to it?▾
The provisional answer key is typically released shortly after the examination (within days of the 15 May 2025 exam date). The RPSC notice would have specified the objection window and per-question fee at that time. Objections filed during that period are evaluated by subject experts before the final key is published.
How can I calculate my expected score using this answer key?▾
Compare each of your answers to the official answer in the key. Apply the marking scheme stated in the examination notification (e.g., +1 for correct, 0 for unattempted, –0.25 for incorrect). Sum all marks to estimate your raw score. This is indicative only; the official evaluated score may differ slightly if your OMR sheet had marking or scanning issues.
Is there a negative marking scheme for this exam?▾
The final answer key itself does not state the marking scheme. You must refer to the official examination notification or the admit card, which specifies whether marks are deducted for wrong answers and by how much. Typically, competitive exams have –0.25 or –0.33 per wrong answer, but RPSC's specific scheme will be in the official documents.
When will the final result be announced?▾
The final answer key was published on 3 July 2026. Results are usually declared within 4–8 weeks of the final key publication, depending on the RPSC's evaluation schedule and administrative processes. Check the official website regularly for the result announcement and merit list notification.
Can I request a re-evaluation if I believe my answer sheet was marked incorrectly?▾
The answer key itself is not subject to re-evaluation once final. However, if you believe your OMR sheet was scanned incorrectly or your evaluated score sheet shows an error, RPSC typically allows candidates to request a photocopy of their answer sheet after results are declared. Follow the procedure outlined in the result notification.
What should I do if I find a printing error or ambiguity in a question from the original exam?▾
If a question or option in the actual exam paper (not the answer key) had a printing error, it should have been flagged during the provisional answer key stage. The Commission may have cancelled that question (marked with *) or issued a clarification. Check the final key for any asterisks or footnotes, and review the official notification for cancelled questions.
Are there any objections that were upheld, and how do I know if my answer was accepted?▾
If an objection you filed was upheld during the provisional key stage, the answer in this final key will reflect the correction. You will not receive individual notification; the corrected answer is published here for all candidates. If you do not see your objected answer corrected, your objection was not accepted.
How do I prepare for the next steps after this answer key is released?▾
Use this final key to verify your performance and estimate your score. Keep a record of your expected marks and monitor the RPSC website for the result announcement. Once results are declared, check your individual score card and rank. If you qualify, familiarize yourself with the document verification and interview (if applicable) procedures outlined in the result notification.
