Rajasthan PSC Lecturer & Coach (School Education) 2025 — Sociology Paper Model Answer Key
Published 30 Jun 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), Ajmer, has released the model answer key for the Sociology paper of the Lecturer & Coach (Secondary Education Department) Competitive Examination 2025. This is a model or provisional answer key issued on 30 June 2026, following the examination held on 6 June 2026. The key contains the official answers to all 150 questions in the paper and serves as an authoritative reference for candidates to verify their responses and estimate their likely score.
Candidates must understand that a model answer key is not final and may be subject to revision based on objections and clarifications. To estimate your score, candidates should cross-check their marked answers against the key, keeping in mind the marking scheme (typically 1 mark per correct answer in RPSC exams, unless otherwise notified). Questions marked with an asterisk (*) denote deleted or cancelled questions and are not counted in the final tally.
RPSC invites candidates to raise objections to the answer key within a specified window (usually 5–7 days from publication) if they believe an answer is incorrect or ambiguous. Objection procedures, fees (if applicable per question), and the criteria for acceptance are announced alongside the answer key on the official RPSC website. Candidates must submit documentary evidence supporting their challenge with reference to authoritative sources.
Following the objection review period, RPSC publishes the final answer key, incorporating any changes resulting from valid challenges. Results are then declared based on the final key. Candidates are advised to retain their question paper and response sheet and monitor the official website for announcements on the objection window, final answer key, and result publication timeline.
