Kerala PSC Scientific Officer Final Answer Key 2025 Date
The final answer key will be published only after all objections raised by candidates against the provisional answer key have been thoroughly reviewed and resolved. Once the final answer key is released, Kerala PSC will prepare and publish a shortlist of candidates who have secured marks above the prescribed cut-off.
The cut-off marks are determined exclusively by the Kerala Public Service Commission. Several factors influence the cut-off, including the total number of candidates who appeared for the examination, the overall difficulty level of the question paper, and the number of vacancies available, along with other relevant considerations.
