How to Download the BPSC Stenographer OMR Sheet 2026
- Open the BPSC candidate login portal at https://bpsconline.bihar.gov.in/candidate/login in your web browser.
- Log in using your registered candidate credentials (username and password).
- Navigate to your personal Dashboard.

- Click “Download” and save the PDF to your device.
- Open the downloaded file and check every response mark carefully against your own response sheet and the question paper.
Calculate Your Actual Responses
Before raising an objection, reconstruct your exact responses:
- Open your downloaded OMR sheet and your copy of the question paper side by side.
- Mark each of your intended answers on a separate sheet or spreadsheet.
- Compare your marks with the OMR sheet line by line.
- Note only those questions where the OMR shows a different mark than what you actually bubbled.
If the OMR sheet reflects what you actually marked, objecting based on “I think I chose a different option” will not succeed – the objection is about machine-scanning errors, not your answer choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is an OMR sheet and why must I download it?
Ans. Your OMR sheet is the scanned image of your answer bubble sheet as read by the optical scanning machine during evaluation. Downloading and checking it against your responses allows you to verify that the machine correctly read every bubble you filled. If the machine misread a bubble – for example, it recorded (B) when you marked (C) – you can raise an objection.
Q2. Can I download my BPSC Stenographer OMR sheet after 02 August 2026?
Ans. No. The download window closes on 02 August 2026. Once this deadline passes, BPSC will not provide you with a copy of your OMR sheet, even if you request it later. Download it immediately.
Q3. How do I raise an objection on my OMR sheet if I find an error?
Ans. Send an email to [email protected] with your roll number, name, the question number(s) in question, your intended answer, and a clear description of the discrepancy. The objection must arrive before 02 August 2026. No other method of objection will be accepted.
Q4. What if the BPSC Stenographer OMR sheet shows a mark I did not intend to make?
Ans. If you are certain you bubbled a different option, describe the discrepancy in your objection email with as much detail as possible. BPSC will review your objection against the scanned image of your original answer sheet and decide whether to accept it. Objections backed by clear evidence are more likely to succeed.
Q5. Can I raise multiple objections if I find errors in several questions?
Ans. Yes. You can raise objections for multiple question numbers in a single email or across multiple emails, as long as each objection reaches the Commission before 02 August 2026. List each question separately with its own explanation for clarity.
Q6. What happens if my OMR objection is accepted?
Ans. If BPSC’s expert review confirms that the scanning machine incorrectly read your bubble, your OMR record will be corrected. When the final answer key is released, your score will be calculated using the corrected OMR sheet, which may improve your marks.
Q7. Is there a fee to raise an OMR objection?
Ans. The raw data provided does not specify an objection fee for OMR sheet errors. Verify with the official BPSC website or contact BPSC directly to confirm whether a fee applies.
Q8. What is the difference between an OMR sheet objection and an answer key objection?
Ans. An OMR sheet objection is about a scanning or marking error – the machine misread your bubble. An answer key objection is about the correctness of the official answer itself – you believe the answer marked as correct is factually wrong. These are two separate windows and two separate processes.
