• +1 mark is awarded for every correct answer.
• 1/3 mark (0.33) is deducted for every wrong answer (negative marking).

How to Raise Objections Against the Provisional Answer Key

Kerala PSC allows candidates to challenge specific answers in the provisional key before the final key is prepared:

• Objections can be submitted online only, through the candidate’s OTR (One Time Registration) profile — no other mode of complaint is accepted.
• The objection window is 5 days from the date of publication of the provisional answer key (both days included).
• Each objection should clearly state the question number and cite the reason/reference supporting the alternate answer.
• Objections received after the 5-day window, or through any offline/email channel, will not be entertained.
• Once the window closes, Kerala PSC’s subject experts review valid objections and prepare the Final Answer Key, which is used for actual score computation. No further complaints are accepted after the final key is published.

What Happens After the KWA AE Answer Key Released?

• Kerala PSC reviews the objections raised within the 5-day window and publishes the Final Answer Key on the same OMR Answer Key page.
• Marks are computed based on the final key, and the short list / rank list for KWA Assistant Engineer (706/2025) is prepared based on shortlisting ratio and category-wise vacancies.
• Candidates should keep checking their OTR profile and the official Kerala PSC website/Gazette (Thozhilveedhi) for further updates on shortlist and rank list publication dates.
• It’s advisable to keep a printed or digital copy of your OMR response sheet (if issued) and the answer key for future reference during the selection process.
