Challenging the answer key
Candidates may submit representations against the tentative key within the notified window, on payment of ₹50 per question challenged, which is not refunded. Challenges must be supported by a credible reference. Where a challenge is accepted, the correction applies to every candidate.
Calculating your score
0.50 mark deducted for each wrong answer. Remember that the final shortlisting uses normalised marks, so your calculated raw score is an indicator rather than the number that decides selection.
