Provisional Answer Key – Lecturer (Psychology) DIET, Tripura Public Service Commission (Advt. 15/2025)
Published 9 Jul 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC) has released the provisional answer key for the written examination for the post of Lecturer (Psychology) in District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), under Advertisement No. 15/2025. This answer key covers all four test series (A, B, C, and D) and serves as the official reference for evaluating candidate responses during the objective/multiple-choice examination phase.
Candidates may use this provisional key to estimate their likely score by matching their responses against the published answers. The provisional status means TPSC has not yet finalized the key; objections from candidates form part of the validation process. Candidates who believe an answer is incorrect or ambiguous may lodge a formal objection within the specified window (as per the official notification) by submitting evidence or reasoned argument for each question in dispute. Some recruitment bodies charge a small non-refundable fee per objection; check the official TPSC portal for the exact fee, if applicable.
The objection process typically requires candidates to submit their challenge through the TPSC website or designated portal, identifying the question number, their claimed correct answer, and supporting rationale. TPSC's subject matter experts review all objections and issue a final answer key, incorporating any modifications deemed justified. Results are then declared based on the final key; the timeline follows TPSC's standard recruitment schedule, which candidates should monitor on the official website.
This step is critical for candidate grievance redressal and ensures fairness and transparency in the examination process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a provisional answer key and how is it different from a final one?▾
A provisional answer key is the initial version released immediately after the exam and is subject to revision. It is released to allow candidates to estimate their score and raise objections if they believe answers are incorrect. The final answer key, released after reviewing objections, incorporates any corrections deemed valid and is used to declare official results. Candidates should use the provisional key only for self-assessment until the final key is published.
How do I download the answer key?▾
Visit https://tpsc.tripura.gov.in, log in with your credentials, navigate to the recruitment or answer key section, and download the PDF for your test series. Ensure you download the correct series (A, B, C, or D) corresponding to your exam.
What is the procedure for filing an objection against an answer?▾
Log into the TPSC portal, locate the objection submission link (usually available alongside the answer key), enter the question number, state your claimed correct answer, and provide a reasoned justification. Submit the objection and any required fee before the deadline. The portal will provide a confirmation receipt.
Is there a fee for filing an objection, and will it be refunded?▾
Some recruitment bodies charge a nominal non-refundable fee per objection (typically ₹50–100). Consult the official TPSC notification or website to confirm the exact fee applicable to this exam. Fees are generally non-refundable even if the objection is not upheld.
How is my score calculated using the provisional answer key?▾
To estimate your score, match your responses against the answer key. Apply the marking scheme stated in the official notification (typically +1 for correct, 0 for unanswered, and −0.25 or −0.33 for incorrect, depending on the exam structure). However, note that this is an estimate; the final score will be calculated using the final answer key after objections are resolved.
When will the final answer key and results be declared?▾
TPSC typically releases the final answer key within 2–4 weeks after the objection window closes, depending on the volume of objections. Results are then declared as per the recruitment schedule, which candidates should monitor on the official website. The exam notification usually mentions the expected timeline.
How are objections reviewed and decided?▾
A panel of subject matter experts appointed by TPSC reviews all objections. They examine the question, the proposed answer, and the candidate's reasoning against official textbooks and standards. If the objection is found valid, the answer key is corrected; if not, the original answer stands. Decisions are final and TPSC does not provide individual feedback on each objection.
Can I object to multiple answers in one submission, or must I file separate objections?▾
Most portals allow you to file objections for multiple questions in a single session. However, each objection may incur a separate fee (if applicable). Check the portal interface or official guidelines for the exact process in your exam.
What should I do if the PDF does not open or I cannot access my test series?▾
Ensure you are logged into the correct TPSC account and that your browser supports PDF viewing. Clear your cache or try a different browser. If the problem persists, contact TPSC's candidate support email or helpline (details on the official website) with your application ID and test series.
Will I receive notification when the final answer key and result are released?▾
TPSC typically sends email or SMS notifications to candidates registered with their portal. However, it is advisable to check the official website regularly under 'Recruitment' or 'Results' sections. Subscribe to notifications in your TPSC account settings to receive alerts about key announcements.
