Calculate Your Probable Score
The UPSSSC Teacher Cadre JTC examination uses the following marking scheme:
- Correct answer: +1 mark
- Wrong answer: −0.25 marks (negative marking)
- Unattempted question: 0 marks
Example: If the test has 100 questions total and you achieved:
- 75 correct answers = 75 × 1 = 75 marks
- 15 wrong answers = 15 × 0.25 = 3.75 marks deducted
- 10 unattempted = 10 × 0 = 0 marks
Your provisional score = 75 − 3.75 = 71.25 marks
Use this calculation to estimate your performance and compare against the expected merit list cutoff score once released.
Should You Challenge This Answer Key?
Raise an objection if:
- The official answer in the key contradicts the question paper text itself (printing error or ambiguous wording).
- You have a specific reference from the NCERT curriculum or the official Uttar Pradesh teaching standards manual.
- The official marking scheme has been misapplied to a particular question.
- A single question has two defensible correct answers based on standard educational sources.
Do NOT raise an objection if:
- You simply got the question wrong and disagree with the marked answer.
- An online coaching platform or YouTube video suggests a different answer without citing official textbooks.
- You are uncertain and want a chance to dispute the score-objection fees, which are non-refundable regardless of the outcome.
- Multiple candidates have raised the same objection on social media, but no expert source has backed the claim.
Practical reminder: Objections are reviewed by subject experts from UPSSSC; only those supported by clear references from official curriculum documents or textbooks are upheld.

Q2. Can I download the answer key multiple times?
Ans. Yes. The answer key PDF link remains available on the UPSSSC website. You can download it as many times as needed during the objection window and beyond.
Q3. What is the objection fee, and is it refundable?
Ans. The exact objection fee per question will be announced in the official objection notice on upsssc.gov.in. Objection fees are non-refundable regardless of whether your objection is accepted or rejected. Raise objections only if you have strong supporting evidence.
Q4. How many objections can I raise?
Ans. You can raise objections for multiple questions if you have credible references for each. However, each objection incurs a separate non-refundable fee. Focus on questions where you have clear textbook or official curriculum evidence.
Q5. What happens if my objection is accepted?
Ans. If your objection is accepted by UPSSSC subject experts, the answer for that question is changed in the final answer key. Your marks are recalculated based on the revised key, which may increase your score. A revised final answer key reflecting all accepted objections is then published.
