How to Raise an Objection Against the Answer Key?

If you identify any discrepancies or believe a question contains an error or ambiguous option, you are eligible to challenge the provisional key through the official objection portal once the 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 period concludes, RPSC thoroughly reviews all feedback and incorporates necessary corrections into the final answer key. The final result and merit list are determined exclusively based on the final, corrected answer key.

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

The RPSC 2nd Grade examination follows a standardized marking structure applied consistently 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

For example, if a candidate answers 120 questions in Paper 2, with 100 correct and 20 incorrect responses:

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