The UPPSC PCS answer key is released on uppsc.up.nic.in after the Preliminary examination. The Commission publishes a provisional key, gives candidates a window to raise objections against specific questions, and then issues the final answer key on which the Prelims result is prepared.
How to use the provisional key
Match your responses against the provisional key, applying the negative-marking rule, to estimate your Prelims score. Check every question where your answer differs before deciding whether to object, and submit objections within the notified window in the form the Commission prescribes.
