BPSC Answer Key: ₹250 Objection Rule, Final Key, OMR

BPSC publishes provisional answers for each objective exam on bpsc.bihar.gov.in and takes objections only through the candidate dashboard, at ₹250 per question. Final answers follow, and then a window to download your own OMR sheet. The flagship 72nd CCE Prelims has no key yet: BPSC postponed the exam on 12 October 2026 and has not announced a new date.

How does a BPSC objection window work?

A recent example is the Research Officer (Advt 08/2026) notice:

• Provisional answers to the General Studies questions went up on 12 August 2026. The question paper itself is also on the website, and the answers follow its question serial numbers.
• Objections must follow the question numbering of the displayed booklet. Upload them on the dashboard after logging in with Username and Password, with authentic evidence or source, from 14 to 18 August 2026.
• The fee is ₹250 per question objected to.
• Late objections, or objections sent any other way, are not considered.

The Stenographer (Advt 01/2026) notice used the same ₹250 fee and a dashboard window from 8 to 12 July 2026, as did the 71st CCE Prelims in September 2025.

Final answers and your OMR copy

For the Stenographer exam held on 11 June 2026, final model answers went up on 22 July 2026. Candidates could then download their OMR sheet from the dashboard between 27 July and 2 August 2026 and report errors to [email protected] by 2 August 2026. BPSC says it will not provide an OMR copy later to anyone who misses the window. The 71st CCE ran the same sequence: final answers on 31 October 2025 and OMR download until 8 November 2025.

Scoring changes from 2026: option E

BPSC's notice on MCQ answer options applies to its upcoming objective exams. Every question now has five options, and E means "Not Attempted" and must be marked if you skip. A question with none of the five marked loses 1/3 of a mark. The 72nd CCE advertisement repeats this and also deducts 1/3 for each wrong answer. When you check a BPSC key, count blanks without E as negatives.

Descriptive papers have no key

For written Mains papers BPSC shows candidates their unevaluated answer booklets instead. The 71st CCE Mains booklets could be viewed from 24 to 29 August 2026 using Roll No, Application No and an OTP sent to the registered email or mobile.
