Calculate Your Probable Score
The marking scheme for HPRCA Teacher recruitment is not provided in the official answer key notification. Contact HPRCA directly at hprca.hp.gov.in or check the recruitment notification for the exact marking pattern (marks per correct answer, negative marking, and unattempted questions).
Once you have the marking scheme, calculate your probable score as follows:
- Count the number of questions you answered correctly.
- Count the number of wrong answers.
- Apply the formula: Score = (Correct × Marks per Question) − (Wrong × Negative Marking).
- Compare this with the likely cutoff for Teacher (History) and Teacher (Economics) posts to estimate your chances.
Should You Challenge This Answer Key?
Raise an objection if:
- The official answer in the provisional key contradicts the official question paper text or official marking guide.
- You have a specific reference from NCERT textbooks, state board curricula, or recognised academic publications that supports a different answer.
- The question itself contains a printing error or ambiguity that makes two or more options defensible.
- Multiple credible standard sources (textbooks, government publications) agree that the given answer is incorrect.
Do NOT raise an objection if:
- You are unsure or guessing. The objection fee is completely non-refundable.
- You saw a different answer on social media, YouTube coaching channels, or unverified forums without a textbook citation.
- A private coaching institute disagrees with the official answer but cannot provide a published reference.
- You answered the question incorrectly and are hoping to overturn the marking.
Practical reminder: Objections are reviewed by subject experts; only those supported by credible published references are accepted. Do not submit frivolous objections.
How to Challenge the Answer Key

- Submit your objection before 13/07/2026, 11:55 PM.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Where can I download the HPRCA Teacher Answer Key 2026?
Ans. The HPRCA Teacher Answer Key 2026 is available on the official HPRCA website at hprca.hp.gov.in. Use the direct objection links provided in the Important Links section above for Teacher (History) Post Code 26025 and Teacher (Economics) Post Code 26030.
Q2. What is the difference between the provisional and final answer key?
Ans. The provisional answer key is released immediately after the exam and is subject to review based on objections. The final answer key is released after HPRCA’s subject experts examine all objections. If objections are upheld, the final key may differ from the provisional key, and marks are recalculated accordingly.
Q3. How much is the objection fee for the HPRCA Teacher Answer Key 2026?
Ans. The exact objection fee per question is specified on the official HPRCA objection portal. Verify the fee amount before submitting any objections, as it is completely non-refundable.
Q4. What happens if my objection is accepted by HPRCA?
Ans. If your objection is upheld by subject experts, the final answer key is revised accordingly. HPRCA will recalculate all candidates’ marks based on the corrected answer, and the revised score will be reflected in your final result.
Q5. Can I raise multiple objections for different questions?
Ans. Yes, you can raise objections for multiple questions, but each objection incurs a separate fee. Only submit objections for answers you are confident are incorrect and for which you have credible textbook or official reference support.
Q6. What should I include in my objection justification?
Ans. Your objection must include a specific reference from NCERT textbooks, state board curriculum, official government publications, or recognised academic sources. Include the textbook name, chapter, page number, and the relevant excerpt supporting your claim.
Q7. When will the final answer key be released?
Ans. The final answer key will be released after HPRCA completes its review of all objections, expected within 2-3 weeks of the objection window closure. The exact date will be announced on hprca.hp.gov.in.
Q8. Is there a cutoff score for Teacher (History) and Teacher (Economics) posts?
Ans. Cutoff marks for both posts depend on the number of candidates, vacancies, and the difficulty level of the exam. The cutoff will be announced alongside the final result. Check hprca.hp.gov.in for updates.
