How to Raise an Objection Against the Answer Key?

If you find a discrepancy between your response and the official key, or believe a question has an incorrect or ambiguous answer, you can formally challenge it once the objection window opens:

1. Log in to the RPSC Recruitment Portal via sso.rajasthan.gov.in using your SSO ID.
2. Select your subject and the specific question(s) you wish to challenge.
3. Upload supporting proof from standard textbooks or reference material.
4. Pay the objection fee of Rs. 100 per question (plus service charges), which RPSC has charged in recent cycles, via e-Mitra or other available online payment modes.
5. Submit your objection before the last date of the window (to be announced with the answer key).

Once the objection window closes, RPSC reviews all submissions and incorporates valid corrections into the final answer key. The result and merit list are prepared strictly based on the final answer key, not the provisional one.

How to Calculate Marks Using RPSC 2nd Grade Answer Key?

The RPSC 2nd Grade exam follows this marking pattern across both papers:

• +2 marks for every correct answer
• -1/3rd mark (0.33) for every incorrect answer
• Full marks to all candidates for any question marked with an asterisk (*) in the official key — this typically happens when a question is later dropped or found ambiguous
• Paper 1 (General Knowledge): 100 questions, 200 marks, 2 hours
• Paper 2 (Subject-Specific): 150 questions, 300 marks, 2 hours 30 minutes

Example: If a candidate attempts 120 questions in Paper 2, getting 100 correct and 20 incorrect:

Score = (100 × 2) − (20 × 0.33) = 200 − 6.6 = 193.4 marks
