Calculate Your Probable Score
The BPSC Auditor examination uses the following marking scheme:
- Correct answer: +1 mark
- Wrong answer: -0.25 marks (negative marking)
- Unattempted: 0 marks
Example: If you attempted 100 questions with 78 correct and 22 wrong:
Score = (78 × 1) − (22 × 0.25) = 78 − 5.5 = 72.5 marks
Compare your calculated score against the expected cut-off marks, which will be announced after objections are reviewed and the final answer key is published. Remember that your response sheet shows your actual marked answer; match each one carefully against the provisional answer key.
Should You Challenge This Answer Key?
Raise an objection if:
- The official answer appears incorrect based on the official question paper text or exam booklet you received
- You have a specific reference from a standard source (government notification, official textbook, or recognized publication) that contradicts the given answer
- Multiple credible sources confirm the official answer is wrong
- The question itself has a printing error, unclear wording, or appears to have two defensible correct options
Do NOT raise an objection if:
- You are unsure or guessing-the Rs. 250 fee per question is non-refundable regardless of outcome
- You saw a different answer on social media, a coaching centre app, or an online forum without a verified published source
- A coaching institute or teacher disagrees but cannot provide a textbook citation or official reference
- You attempted the question, got it wrong, but cannot find a credible published source supporting an alternative answer
Practical reminder: Objections are reviewed by subject experts; only those supported by credible published references from recognized sources are accepted.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is the difference between provisional and final answer keys?
Ans. The provisional answer key is released first to allow candidates to raise objections. After objections are reviewed by subject experts, BPSC releases the final answer key, which incorporates changes from accepted objections. Results are declared based on the final answer key only.
Q2. How do I download the BPSC Auditor Provisional Answer Key 2026?
Ans. Visit bpsconline.bihar.gov.in, log in with your roll number and date of birth, and locate the provisional answer key link. Download the PDF and compare it with your response sheet to verify your marked answers.
Q3. What is the objection fee, and is it refundable?
Ans. The objection fee is Rs. 250 per question. This fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether your objection is accepted or rejected. Pay only if you have a credible published source supporting your claim.
Q4. Can I raise an objection via email or post?
Ans. No. Only online submissions through the official BPSC portal (bpsconline.bihar.gov.in) are accepted. Objections via email or postal mail will not be considered.
Q5. What happens if my objection is accepted?
Ans. If your objection is accepted and the answer key is changed, your marks will be recalculated in the final answer key. The revised answer key will be published, and your final score will reflect the corrected answer.
Q6. What documents should I upload to support an objection?
Ans. Upload clear evidence such as screenshots of relevant textbook pages, official government notifications, or exam question papers showing the correct answer. Vague claims or unverified online sources will not be accepted.
Q7. What if I disagree with the marking scheme itself?
Ans. Objections are only accepted for specific answers to specific questions, not for the marking scheme. The marking scheme (1 mark for correct, -0.25 for wrong) is set by BPSC and cannot be challenged.
Q8. How many questions can I raise objections for?
Ans. You can raise objections for multiple questions, but each objection incurs a separate Rs. 250 fee. Raise objections strategically for questions where you have strong evidence, not speculatively.
Your Next Step
Download the provisional answer key before 18 July 2026 and cross-check every response against your response sheet meticulously.
