Use the following formula to calculate your estimated score:

Estimated Score = (Number of Correct Answers x 1) – (Number of Incorrect Answers x 0.33)

Comparing this estimated score with the expected cut-off marks will give candidates a preliminary idea of their chances of qualifying for the next stage: Document Verification.

The Objection Window: Your Chance to Challenge

Since this is a provisional answer key, the RSSB provides a stipulated time frame for candidates to submit formal objections if they find any discrepancies in the answers.

1. Objection Process: The online objection link will be activated on the official RSSB website shortly after the answer key release. Candidates must log in using their credentials (e.g., SSO ID) to access the objection portal.
2. Required Evidence: Any objection raised must be substantiated by authentic, verifiable documentary proof from standard or prescribed sources. Objections without proper evidence will be summarily rejected.
3. Objection Fee: A non-refundable fee (typically around ₹100/-) per question is charged to submit an objection. Candidates must pay this fee online.

Important Note: The RSSB will review all valid objections. Following this review, a Final Answer Key will be published, which will be the basis for calculating the final results. No further challenges will be entertained after the release of the final key.

Candidates are urged to utilize the objection window responsibly and strategically, ensuring their claims are well-supported by academic evidence. This period is the final opportunity to correct potential errors before the official merit list is prepared.
