Published 6 Jul 2026 · Updated 5 Aug 2026
The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC), Ajmer, has published the final answer key for the Sr. Scientific Officer (Home Department) Competitive Examination 2024, held on 14 May 2025, for the Narcotics Division. This is the final answer key, published on 3 July 2026 and based on the official question paper hosted on the RPSC website. The answer key contains 150 multiple-choice questions with their correct responses across all sections of the examination.
Candidates can use this final answer key to calculate their estimated scores by comparing their responses against the official answers. Since this is the final key (not provisional), it reflects any corrections or deletions made during the evaluation process; questions marked with an asterisk (*) were deleted and are not counted toward scoring.
The objection window and process for challenging answers must be referred to in the official RPSC notification or exam guidelines. Typically, candidates have a limited period (often 5–7 days from publication) to raise objections against specific answers by paying a per-question fee (commonly ₹100–200 per challenge). Objections are reviewed by RPSC's subject matter experts, and final scores are adjusted if objections are upheld.
Once final answer key corrections are incorporated, RPSC will release the final result in accordance with the examination's standard timeline. Candidates are advised to retain this answer key for their records and cross-check their responses carefully to estimate their performance before the official merit list is announced.
