How to Calculate Your Score Using the Answer Key
The marking process becomes easy once you have the official key. Here’s how candidates can calculate their expected score:
-
Add the allotted marks for every correct response.
-
Deduct the marks as per the negative marking scheme (if applicable).
-
Total the score to get your probable marks.
-
Compare your estimated score with the expected cut-off to evaluate your chances of qualifying.
This self-assessment allows candidates to stay prepared for the next stage of the recruitment process.
Objection Raising Process
RSMSSB provides candidates the opportunity to challenge the provisional answer key if they find any errors. Here’s the process:
-
Log in to the objection portal on the RSSB website.
-
Select the question(s) you want to challenge.
-
Upload valid documentary proof supporting your claim.
-
Pay the prescribed objection fee (per question).
-
Submit your objection within the stipulated time.
After reviewing all objections, the board will release the final answer key, which cannot be challenged further. The results will be based strictly on this final version.
Expected Cut-Off and Merit List Insights
While the official cut-off will be declared only after the results, candidates can estimate it based on:
-
Difficulty level of the exam
-
Number of candidates who appeared
-
Category-wise reservation rules
-
Previous year cut-off trends
For competitive exams like RSSB recruitments under NHM and RMES, the cut-offs usually vary across categories such as General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS. Candidates scoring higher than the expected cut-off will likely be shortlisted for the next phase, which may include document verification and final selection.

The publication of the answer key serves several important purposes:
-
Transparency: Ensures fair evaluation.
-
Self-Assessment: Candidates can calculate their marks before results.
-
Objection Facility: Allows rectification of any errors in the provisional key.
-
Confidence Booster: Helps candidates mentally prepare for the outcome.
