How to Calculate Your Probable Score

Start by matching your answers one by one with the official key, then work out the total using the marks per question and the negative marking rule given for this exam.

Be honest in your estimate. Leaving out a doubtful question from your total will give you a safer number to plan with.

Treat the number you get as a rough estimate. Selection depends on the final key, the cut-off and how others performed.

Raising an Objection: What to Know

If objections are permitted, the process is usually through the same portal, within a fixed window, with proof for each question.

Use reliable proof such as NCERT or other standard textbooks, government publications or the official syllabus reference. Opinions or guide books are seldom accepted. Once the window closes, late objections are not entertained.

Why the Final Answer Key Can Differ

Expect some changes. A question can be dropped, an answer can be changed, or marks can be given to everyone, and the Sarkari Result follows the corrected key.

So do not stop your preparation because your estimate looks low or high. Wait for the Sarkari Result and keep studying.

What Comes After the Answer Key

After objections are reviewed, PSSSB prepares the Sarkari Result and cut-off. Follow the official site for the Sarkari Result date, since it is not always fixed in advance.

How to Use the Answer Key

  • Compare every question, not just the ones you were unsure about.
  • Note the question paper set and shift before matching, since keys differ by set.
  • Calculate your score with the negative marking rule from the notice.
  • Check score adjustment rules if the exam ran in multiple shifts.
  • Start preparing for the next stage if your estimate is above last year's cut-off.
