Follow these steps to access your answer key from the official RPSC website:
-
Visit the official RPSC website (rpsc.rajasthan.gov.in).
-
Navigate to the “News and Events” section on the homepage.
-
Look for the notification titled “Deputy Jailor 2024 – Provisional Answer Key”.
-

How to Calculate Your Score
To calculate your expected score:
-
Check the number of correct answers and multiply them by the marks assigned per question (as per the exam pattern).
-
Deduct marks for wrong answers if there is negative marking (confirm this from the official notification).
-
Do not count unanswered questions.
This self-assessment helps candidates understand their tentative ranking before the result is officially declared.
Raise Objections (If Any)
Candidates are allowed to raise objections if they find discrepancies or incorrect answers in the provisional key. Here’s how you can do it:
-
Log in to your candidate account on the RPSC portal.
-
Go to the “Objection” section related to the Deputy Jailor exam.
-
Select the question(s) you want to challenge.
-
Upload documentary proof or reference supporting your objection.
-
Pay the prescribed objection fee (if applicable).
-
Submit the objection before the given deadline.
Make sure your objections are well-supported with standard references like textbooks or official study material. Frivolous or vague objections may be rejected without consideration.
What’s Next After the Answer Key?
Once the objection window closes, the RPSC will analyze all the challenges and release the final answer key. After that, the result will be declared based on this final version. Candidates who qualify in the written test will be called for the next phase of selection, which typically includes document verification, physical standards test (if applicable), and a final interview.
Why Is the Answer Key Important?
The answer key is not just a post-exam formality. It provides transparency in the recruitment process, allows candidates to understand where they stand, and opens a window for correcting potential errors before final results are announced.
Additionally, those planning to appear in future RPSC exams can benefit from this release by understanding the exam pattern, type of questions, and evaluation criteria.
