Steps to Challenge the Provisional Answer Key
The TNPSC offers a clear process for candidates to submit objections if they believe a question or answer in the provisional key is incorrect. Here’s how you can raise a challenge:
- Log in to your dedicated TNPSC candidate portal using your registered credentials.
- Find the “Answer Key Objection” link, which will be listed under the relevant examination name.
- Carefully enter all required question details, provide a clear justification for your objection, and attach any supporting documentary proof or reference materials.
- Submit your challenge online well before the deadline of October 14, 2025, 5:45 PM.
Please note that any objections submitted through traditional mail, email, or in-person will not be accepted. The Commission will only consider challenges submitted through the official online portal.
After the objection window closes, a panel of experts appointed by TNPSC will diligently review all valid representations received. Following this review, the final answer key, incorporating any necessary corrections, will be officially released. The results for the Group 2 Preliminary Examination will then be declared based on this definitive final key. Successful candidates will be eligible to proceed to the main written examination, followed by an interview round for Group 2 posts. Aspirants are strongly encouraged to regularly visit the official TNPSC website for the latest updates on results, cut-off marks, and detailed schedules for the upcoming stages.
