How to Download the Kerala PSC Final Answer Key 2026

Understanding the Answer Key Format
The Kerala PSC Final Answer Key PDF is organised as a question-by-question table with the following columns:
- Q. No. – Question number (1 to 100)
- Alpha Codes A, B, C, D – Correct answer for each booklet version, since KPSC rotates question order across four codes
- ‘X’ Marking – Indicates a deleted question, which is not counted in scoring
Locate your own booklet’s alpha code and refer only to that corresponding column. Questions marked ‘X’ are excluded from evaluation, so your score calculation ignores them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is the Kerala PSC Final Answer Key 2026?
Ans. The Kerala PSC Final Answer Key 2026 is the officially validated set of correct answers for the exam held on 06/06/2026, released after expert review of objections against the provisional version. It incorporates corrections and marks deleted questions as ‘X’. This key is used to calculate final scores for the recruitment process.
Q2. How do I find my question booklet’s alpha code?
Ans. Your question booklet’s alpha code (A, B, C, or D) is printed on the front cover of your exam booklet and also noted on your admit card or test centre slip. Once you identify it, refer only to the corresponding column in the answer key PDF.
Q3. What does the ‘X’ marking mean in the final answer key?
Ans. The ‘X’ marking indicates a question that has been deleted from the evaluation. These questions are not counted toward your score-whether you answered correctly or incorrectly, no marks are awarded or deducted for deleted questions.
Q4. Can I raise objections after the final answer key is published?
Ans. No. The final answer key is published after all objections against the provisional version have been reviewed and resolved. No further objections are accepted once the final key is released.
Q5. How is the final answer key different from the provisional answer key?
Ans. The provisional answer key is released first and allows candidates to raise objections within a specified period. The final answer key is released after expert review of these objections and incorporates corrections, deleted questions, and validated answers. The final key is used for official score calculation.
Q6. Which medium’s answer key should I download?
Ans. Download the answer key in the same language medium as your question paper. Check your admit card or test centre slip to confirm whether your exam was in Kannada, Tamil, or Malayalam, then download the matching PDF.
Q7. When will the result be declared based on this final answer key?
Ans. The result declaration date has not been announced yet. KPSC will publish the result date on its official website keralapsc.gov.in. Candidates should check the website regularly or subscribe to our free job alert service for updates.
Q8. What happens if I disagree with an answer in the final key?
Ans. Once the final answer key is published, the objection window has closed. Disagreements at this stage cannot be reconsidered. If you believe the answer is incorrect, you may have had the opportunity to object during the provisional answer key phase (if one was available).
