Important Instructions
• Treat all currently available answer keys as unofficial until UPSC confirms its own version unofficial keys can contain errors. • UPSC usually also releases candidates' response sheets separately; check your recorded answers against that before finalizing your score estimate. • If you spot a discrepancy in the official answer key once released, UPSC typically allows objections through its Question Paper Representation Portal (QPRep), where candidates log in with roll number and date of birth, select the disputed question, and submit justification with references before the deadline. • Only objections submitted with valid academic references are considered; UPSC reviews them before finalizing the answer key used for results. • Qualifying Paper 1 is only the first step candidates must also clear Paper 2, followed by the Physical Standards Test/Physical Efficiency Test (PST/PET), Medical Standards Test, and an Interview.
