How to Raise an Objection Against the Kerala PSC Welder Provisional Answer Key 2026

If you believe any answer in the provisional key is incorrect, Kerala PSC allows candidates to formally object — but only through the proper channel and within a strict deadline.

• Objections can be submitted only online, through your OTR (One Time Registration) Profile on the Kerala PSC portal.
• You have 5 days from the date of publication of the Provisional Answer Key (both start and end dates included) to file a complaint.
• Complaints submitted by post, in person, or after the 5-day window are not entertained.
• After reviewing valid objections, subject experts finalize the responses, and the Final Answer Key is published — no further complaints are accepted once that happens.

How to Calculate Your Kerala PSC Welder Exam Score

Kerala PSC’s standard OMR exam marking scheme applies:

• +1 mark for every correct answer
• −1/3 mark deducted for every wrong answer
• No mark is deducted for unattempted questions

Formula: Score = (Number of Correct Answers) − (1/3 × Number of Wrong Answers)

Use this along with the downloaded answer key to get a reasonably accurate estimate of your provisional score before the official result and shortlist are announced.
