Provisional Answer Key (General Studies) — Junior Engineer Grade-II Civil Engineering, Advt. No. 08/2025 — Tripura PSC
Published 17 Jun 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) has released the Provisional Answer Key for the Main Examination (General Studies paper) for the recruitment of Junior Engineer, Grade-II, Civil Engineering under Advertisement No. 08/2025. This answer key applies to all four series of the examination (Series A, B, C, and D). Candidates who appeared for the Main Exam can download the provisional answer key from the official TPSC website to cross-check their responses and estimate their performance before the final answer key is issued.
A provisional answer key is a temporary document released to allow candidates to review the official answers before objections are invited. It is not the final key; objections raised by candidates on specific questions are evaluated by the Commission, and a revised final answer key is published after considering valid challenges. The provisional status allows for transparency and gives candidates an opportunity to flag any discrepancies or incorrect answers.
Candidates may raise objections to any answer in the provisional key within the specified window (as per the official notification). Typically, an objection fee is required per question challenged, payable through online modes. Objections are reviewed by subject experts, and if sustained, the answer is amended in the final key. If an objection is found to lack merit, it is rejected and the fee is not refunded.
Once objections are processed, TPSC will release the final answer key. The result of the Main Examination will be compiled based on the final answer key, and merit lists will be published as per the examination's standard process. Candidates should retain the provisional answer key along with their question booklet and response sheet for reference during the objection process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I download the Provisional Answer Key for Advt. No. 08/2025?▾
The Provisional Answer Key is available on the official TPSC website at tpsc.tripura.gov.in. Look for the 'Answer Keys' section under Recent Notifications or Recruitment, select your exam series (A, B, C, or D), and download the PDF for General Studies.
What is the difference between a provisional and final answer key?▾
A provisional answer key is released first to allow candidates to review answers and raise objections. The final answer key is published after TPSC evaluates all objections and makes corrections if needed. Only the final answer key is used to calculate official scores and results.
How do I raise an objection to the Provisional Answer Key?▾
You can raise an objection through the TPSC website or candidate portal during the specified objection window. You will need to identify the question number, provide your objection with reasoning, pay the required fee per question, and submit proof or supporting material if available.
Is there a fee for raising objections, and is it refundable?▾
Yes, a fee is typically charged per question objected to (exact amount per the official notification). The fee is refundable only if your objection is sustained and the answer is amended in the final key. If your objection is rejected, the fee is not refunded.
How do I calculate my expected score using the Provisional Answer Key?▾
Match your responses against the provisional answers for each question. The marking scheme (marks per question and negative marking, if any) is usually provided in the exam notification or answer key document. However, use this estimate only for reference, as your final score will be based on the final answer key after objections are resolved.
When will the final answer key and result be released?▾
The final answer key is published after the objection period closes and all challenges are evaluated. The Main Exam result is then compiled based on the final key. Exact timelines are provided in the official notification; candidates should check the TPSC website regularly for updates.
Can I download the Provisional Answer Key for all four series at once?▾
Yes, all four series (A, B, C, and D) are typically available on the TPSC website. You should download the key corresponding to the series you appeared in, using your admit card or exam details.
What happens if I don't raise an objection within the specified window?▾
If you do not raise an objection within the deadline, you forfeit the right to challenge any answers. The provisional key will be finalized as the final answer key for those questions, and your score will be calculated accordingly.
Who reviews and decides on objections?▾
Objections are reviewed by subject matter experts and a designated committee at TPSC. If an objection is found to be valid with supporting evidence or if the correct answer was indeed different, the final key is amended. Decisions are made transparently and based on the merit of each objection.
Can I appeal against the Commission's decision on my objection?▾
The specific appeal process depends on TPSC rules. Typically, candidates are informed of the outcome of their objection when the final key is released. For further grievances, refer to the official notification or contact the Commission directly through their website.
