How to Raise an Objection Against the Answer Key
The specific document provided does not state the exact objection deadline for this Category No. 885/2025 answer key. As a general rule, Kerala PSC allows candidates to submit objections online through their One Time Registration (OTR) profile within a short window after a provisional key is published, usually by paying a nominal fee per challenged question. Candidates should:
- Log in to their KPSC profile at www.keralapsc.gov.in.
- Check the "Answer Key" or "Notifications" section of their profile for this specific category (885/2025) to see if an objection window has been opened.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to submit objections with supporting justification, if the option is available.
After the objection period closes, Kerala PSC will review valid complaints with subject experts and publish a Final Answer Key. No complaints are entertained after the final key is released.
