Provisional Answer Key – Lecturer (Political Science) DIET, Advertisement 15/2025 – Tripura PSC
Published 9 Jul 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) has released the provisional answer key for the written examination conducted for the post of Lecturer in Political Science at DIET (District Institute of Education and Training) under Advertisement Number 15/2025. The answer key covers all four series (A, B, C, and D) of the examination. This provisional key allows candidates to cross-check their responses against the official answers and estimate their probable score before the final answer key is released.
Candidates who believe that one or more answers in the provisional key are incorrect may file objections during the designated window. The objection process typically requires candidates to identify the specific question number, their reasoning for the challenge, and submission through the official TPSC portal. Most recruitment exams of this nature impose a nominal fee per objection raised; candidates should refer to the official notification for exact fee details and the objection submission deadline.
The objections are reviewed by subject matter experts, and after their evaluation, the final answer key is published. Any modifications to answers based on valid objections are incorporated into the final key. The final answer key subsequently serves as the basis for calculating candidates' scores and determining the merit list for subsequent stages (interview or counselling, as applicable).
Candidates are advised to download the provisional answer key from the official TPSC website and carefully compare their marked responses. The timeline for objection submission and publication of the final key will be notified separately as per the examination's standard process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I download the provisional answer key?▾
The provisional answer key is available on the official TPSC website (https://tpsc.tripura.gov.in) under the Results or Answer Keys section. Search for 'Lecturer Political Science DIET Advertisement 15/2025' and download the PDF file for your examination series (A, B, C, or D).
What is the difference between a provisional and final answer key?▾
The provisional answer key is released first to allow candidates to review their responses and file objections if they believe answers are incorrect. After objections are reviewed by subject experts, a final answer key is published, which may incorporate corrections. The final key is used for official score calculation.
What is the deadline and fee for raising objections?▾
The specific objection submission deadline and per-question fee will be stated in the official notification accompanying the answer key. Candidates must submit objections within the prescribed window with the requisite fee through the TPSC portal. Check the official notice for exact dates and fee amounts.
How do I calculate my estimated score using the provisional answer key?▾
Compare each of your marked answers against the provisional key. Count correct answers and calculate marks based on the marking scheme provided in the examination notice (typically 1 mark per correct answer and negative marking for wrong answers, if applicable). This gives you an estimated score pending the final key and results.
When will the final answer key and result be released?▾
The final answer key is typically released after the objection window closes and expert review is complete. The result (merit list or score card) is then published as per the examination's standard timeline. TPSC will announce these dates in a separate official notification.
Can I raise an objection without logging into the portal?▾
No. Objections must be submitted through the official TPSC online portal using your examination registration number and password. This ensures proper tracking and authentication of your objection. Objections submitted outside the portal or without proper credentials will not be considered.
What happens if my objection is accepted?▾
If your objection is validated by subject experts and the answer key is found to be incorrect, the final answer key will be corrected accordingly. Your score will be recalculated using the corrected key, which may improve your final marks and rank.
Is the objection fee refundable?▾
Typically, objection fees are non-refundable regardless of whether the objection is accepted or rejected. However, candidates should verify the specific refund policy in the official notification, as this may vary depending on TPSC's rules.
What if I miss the objection deadline?▾
Objections submitted after the prescribed deadline will not be accepted. Ensure you file your objections within the official window stated in the notification. It is advisable to submit well before the deadline to avoid technical or administrative delays.
How are objections reviewed and decided?▾
Objections are forwarded to subject matter experts and the examination commission for detailed review. They assess whether the objection is supported by authoritative sources and whether the question/answer key is indeed erroneous. A decision is then made to either uphold or reject the objection, and the final answer key reflects these decisions.
