Published 4 Jul 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), Ajmer has released the final answer key for the Sr. Scientific Officer (Home Department) Competitive Examination 2024, DNA Division section. This answer key covers all 150 questions from the examination held on 12 May 2025, and was published on the official RPSC website on 3 July 2026. The answer key is final and reflects the official response to each question as per the question paper made available to candidates.
Candidates who appeared in this examination can use the answer key to self-evaluate their performance by comparing their responses against the official answers. The document notes that one question (Question 24) was deleted from the final evaluation (marked with an asterisk in the key). Candidates should cross-check their marked responses carefully, as this affects the total scoring calculation.
Although the final answer key has been published, candidates who wish to challenge any answer may do so through RPSC's official objection portal within the stipulated objection window (as per RPSC's standard guidelines). Objections must be supported by credible references or evidence, and a nominal fee per question may apply. RPSC will review all objections and, if merit is found, will revise the final key and re-calculate scores accordingly.
The result and merit list for this examination are typically declared following the completion of the answer key publication and objection resolution process. Candidates should regularly monitor the RPSC official website (rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in) for updates on the final result declaration and subsequent stages of recruitment.

Is this the final answer key or a provisional one?▾
This is the final answer key published on 3 July 2026. It reflects all revisions following any objections filed by candidates and is the authoritative reference for score calculation.
How do I calculate my expected score using this answer key?▾
Compare your marked responses against each of the 150 questions in the key. Note that Question 24 was deleted, so it is not counted in scoring. Apply the marking scheme (typically +1 for correct, 0 or negative for wrong/unattempted, as per the official notification) to arrive at your raw score.
Can I challenge an answer in the final key?▾
Although this is the final key, RPSC may still accept valid objections if new evidence or credible references emerge. Check the official website for any post-publication objection window or feedback mechanism. Objections typically require supporting documentation and a nominal fee per question.
Why is Question 24 marked as deleted?▾
Question 24 has been deleted from the final evaluation, which means it will not be counted in the scoring of any candidate. This decision is made when a question is found to be ambiguous, erroneous, or otherwise unsuitable for assessment, and is applied uniformly to all candidates.
When will the final result be declared?▾
The result and merit list are typically declared after the final answer key is published and objection resolution is complete. Monitor rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in regularly for the official result declaration announcement and timeline.
What is the objection fee, and will it be refunded if my objection is upheld?▾
The specific objection fee per question, if any, will be stated in RPSC's objection guidelines on the official website. Refund policy varies; typically, fees are refunded only if the objection leads to a change in the official answer key, though this depends on RPSC's formal notification.
How will RPSC decide on objections I raise?▾
RPSC will review each objection against credible sources, expert opinions, and the official question paper. If an objection is found to be valid and the official answer is incorrect, the key will be revised and all candidate scores recalculated. Candidates are informed of the outcome via their registered portal.
Does the answer key show the question paper or only the answers?▾
This document contains only the answer key—the list of correct responses for each question number. The full question paper is uploaded separately on the RPSC website and candidates can download it from the examination or results section to cross-verify.
What happens after the final result is declared?▾
After the merit list is published, candidates who qualify will be called for further stages of recruitment, such as document verification, physical test, interview, or medical examination, as applicable. Details and schedules are communicated via official notification.
