Background of the RPSC SSO (Home Dept.) 2024 Exam
RPSC had invited online applications for Senior Scientific Officer posts under the Home Department from 19 December 2024 to 17 January 2025. The written examination was conducted from 12 to 16 May 2025 across multiple divisions of the State Forensic Science Laboratory, Jaipur, including Biology, Documents, Serology, Cyber Forensic, Narcotics, and Physics.
A provisional (model) answer key was released in early June 2025, with an objection window open for candidates to challenge specific answers on payment of a fee per question. RPSC has been releasing the final, division-wise answer keys in stages; the Cyber Forensic, Narcotics, Physics, and Serology keys were confirmed on 3 July 2026.
Vacancy Details
The RPSC SSO 2024 recruitment drive was notified for a total of 14 vacancies spread across various forensic science divisions under the Home Department, including posts in Documents, Biology, Serology, Cyber Forensic, Narcotics, and Physics divisions. Exact division-wise vacancy numbers and any revisions should be verified from the original recruitment advertisement on the RPSC website, as figures are provisional and subject to change by the department.
Provisional vs Final Answer Key: What's the Difference
| Aspect | Provisional Answer Key | Final Answer Key |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Allows candidates to raise objections | Used to calculate official scores |
| Objections | Accepted within a fixed window, with a fee per question | Not accepted the key is conclusive |
| Changes | May be revised based on valid objections | Reflects all approved corrections and deletions |
What Happens After the Final Answer Key
Once the final answer key for a division is published, RPSC evaluates candidates' OMR sheets against it to compute marks. This is typically followed by:
- Release of a provisional consideration or shortlist for document verification
- Eligibility check and document verification of shortlisted candidates
- Declaration of cut-off marks, main list, and reserve list for each division
For reference, RPSC has already completed this cycle for the Biology Division of the same SSO (Home Dept.) 2024 exam, where cut-off marks and the final main/reserve list were declared in late June 2026 after document verification. Candidates in the Cyber Forensic, Narcotics, Physics, and Serology divisions can expect a similar process to follow now that their final answer keys are out.
