Make sure you submit the objection before the last date mentioned in the official notice (usually 3–5 days after key release). -

After submission, a confirmation message or receipt will be provided. Keep a copy for future reference.
What Happens After the Objection Process?
Once the objection window closes, the UPSSSC committee will review all submitted objections. If valid, corrections will be made to the answer key, and a final answer key will be released.
Following that, the commission will:
-
Publish the exam result
-
Release cut-off marks
-
Announce shortlisted candidates
-
Move to the document verification stage
In some cases, skill or typing tests may also follow based on the post's requirements.
Expected Cut-off and Result Date
Although the official result date has not been announced yet, based on previous patterns, it is expected within 3–4 weeks after the final answer key is issued.
Cut-off marks will depend on several factors such as:
-
Number of candidates
-
Exam difficulty level
-
Category-wise reservation (UR, OBC, SC/ST, EWS)
-
Number of vacancies
Candidates are advised to stay updated on the official website and avoid relying on unofficial sources for cutoff predictions.
