Calculate Your Probable Score
The CGPSC preliminary examination uses the following marking scheme:
- Correct answer: +1 mark
- Wrong answer: -0.33 marks (negative marking)
- Unattempted question: 0 marks
Example: If you attempted 100 questions with 75 correct and 15 wrong (10 unattempted):
Score = (75 × +1) – (15 × 0.33) = 75 – 4.95 = 70.05 marks
Use this formula to estimate your score immediately after checking your response sheet. Remember that the final answer key may result in mark adjustments if objections are accepted, so your final score could differ.
Should You Challenge This Answer Key?
Raise an objection if:
- The official answer contradicts the question paper text or violates the stated instructions
- You have a clear reference from a standard textbook, official government document, or recognised publication
- Multiple reliable sources confirm that the given answer is factually incorrect
- The question itself contains a printing error, ambiguous wording, or multiple defensible answers
Do NOT raise an objection if:
- You are uncertain about the correct answer or are guessing based on coaching notes without a source
- You saw a different answer on social media, YouTube, or an unverified online forum
- A coaching institute disagrees, but has not provided a published textbook or official reference
- You simply attempted the question differently, but cannot cite a credible source
- You lack supporting documentation to upload with your objection
Practical reminder: Objections are reviewed by subject experts from CGPSC; only those backed by credible published references or official documents are accepted. The ₹50 per question objection fee is non-refundable regardless of outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Where can I find my response sheet for the CG Police SI preliminary exam?
Ans. Your response sheet is available in your candidate dashboard on www.psc.cg.gov.in. Log in with your credentials, navigate to the Activity Section, and look for a “View Response Sheet” or “Download Response Sheet” link. This shows exactly which option (A/B/C/D) you marked for each question, which you must compare against the official answer key.
Q2. What is the difference between the provisional and final answer key?
Ans. The provisional answer key released on 13 July 2026 is the model answer based on which objections can be filed. The final answer key will be published after CGPSC reviews and processes all valid objections submitted by candidates. If objections are accepted, the final answer key may differ from the provisional one, and your marks may be recalculated accordingly.
Q3. Can I raise multiple objections for the same question?
Ans. No. You can raise one objection per question. If you believe a question has multiple issues (e.g., factually incorrect AND out of syllabus), select the most significant objection type and explain all issues in the reason box. You cannot resubmit after fee payment.
Q4. What happens if my objection is accepted?
Ans. If CGPSC accepts your objection and modifies the answer key, your marks will be recalculated in the final result. This may increase your score if the correct answer option is awarded to all candidates or if your originally marked option is now deemed correct. You will be notified of these changes when the final result is declared.
Q5. Is the ₹50 objection fee refundable?
Ans. No. The objection fee of ₹50 per question is non-refundable regardless of whether your objection is accepted or rejected. Pay only for questions where you have credible supporting evidence.
Q6. Can I submit objections offline or by mail?
Ans. No. CGPSC accepts objections online only. No offline applications, emails, or physical submissions will be accepted at the commission office. You must submit all objections through the online portal and complete fee payment by 21 July 2026.
Q7. What documents qualify as valid supporting proof for an objection?
Ans. Valid proof includes official published textbooks (with author name, edition date, and page number), government official documents, research papers from recognized journals, and web-sourced documents (downloaded and attached as PDF-not just a link). Social media posts, coaching institute notes, YouTube videos, and unverified online content are not acceptable proof.
Q8. When will the final result be declared?
Ans. CGPSC has not announced a specific date for result declaration in the answer key notice. The final result will be published after the objection window closes on 21 July 2026 and all valid objections are reviewed. Check www.psc.cg.gov.in regularly for updates.
