Important: Matching Your Question Set
The PSSSB Veterinary Inspector exam was conducted across four different question sets (Series A, B, C, D). The provisional answer key provides correct options for each set separately. You must match your answers against the exact set you received in the exam hall. Comparing your responses with an incorrect set will produce a wrong score estimate.
Should You Challenge This Answer Key?
Raise an objection if:
- The official answer in the provisional answer key contradicts the text stated in the official question paper PDF.
- You have a credible reference (NCERT, standard textbook, or government publication) that clearly supports a different answer than the one marked correct.
- Multiple authoritative sources agree that the given answer is incorrect based on established subject matter.
- The question itself appears to contain a printing error, ambiguous wording, or two defensible correct options.
Do NOT raise an objection if:
- You are uncertain about the answer or believe your response was wrong.
- A coaching centre app, social media post, or unverified online source contradicts the official answer key without citing a textbook reference.
- You cannot locate a published, credible source to back your claim.
- The objection fee (amount to be notified) is non-refundable regardless of outcome.
Practical reminder: Only objections supported by credible published sources are accepted by PSSSB subject matter experts during the review process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is the PSSSB Veterinary Inspector Provisional Answer Key 2026?
Ans. The provisional answer key is an official document published by PSSSB containing the correct answers to all 150 objective-type questions from the Veterinary Inspector written examination held on 19/07/2026. It is provisional because objections can be raised and the final answer key may differ after expert review.
Q2. How do I match my answers if I received Series C in the exam hall?
Ans. Download the provisional answer key PDF from the official link. Find the section labeled “Series C” and compare your marked responses question-by-question against the correct options listed. Do not use Series A, B, or D; use only the set you received.
Q3. What is the difference between the provisional and final answer key?
Ans. The provisional answer key is released first to allow candidates to review and raise objections. The final answer key is published after PSSSB experts review all objections and make changes where warranted. Your final score will be calculated using the final answer key, not the provisional one.
Q4. How much will the objection fee be, and is it refundable?
Ans. The objection fee amount and refund policy will be announced in the official objection notice from PSSSB. Generally, such fees are non-refundable; only objections with strong supporting evidence are accepted and may result in answer key corrections.
Q5. What happens if my objection is accepted?
Ans. If your objection is found valid by subject experts, PSSSB updates the final answer key with the corrected answer. Your score is then recalculated using the revised final answer key, which may increase your marks if you had marked the previously incorrect answer.
Q6. Can I download my OMR sheet before raising an objection?
Ans. Yes. You can access your scanned OMR response sheet by logging into the official portal with your credentials. This allows you to verify exactly which options you marked in the exam before deciding whether to challenge any answers.
Q7. When will the final answer key and result be declared?
Ans. PSSSB has not yet announced dates for the final answer key or result declaration. These timelines typically follow the objection window closure. Monitor sssb.punjab.gov.in regularly for official announcements.
Q8. Where can I find the full question paper for reference?
Ans. The official question paper PDF, if available, will be posted on the PSSSB official portal sssb.punjab.gov.in. Check the Veterinary Inspector recruitment page or Important Links section for access.
