- Obtain Annexure-A: Download the prescribed format/proforma (Annexure-A) for objection submission, which is part of the official notification PDF.
- Provide Documentary Proof: Each objection must be supported by documentary proof/evidence (hard copies only). Without proper evidence, objections will not be considered.
- Pay Objection Fee: A fee of Rs. 500/- per question must be paid. The fee should be in the form of a Demand Draft (DD) drawn in favour of “COE, J&K PSC.” This fee is refundable only if the objection is found to be genuine and correct.
- Clearly Mention Question Details: When submitting an objection, clearly mention the question number(s) objected to, with reference to its serial number as it appears in the Question Booklet of Series A.
- Submit Hard Copies: All representations regarding objections, along with the Demand Draft and documentary proof, must be submitted in hard copy to the Controller of Examinations, Jammu & Kashmir Public Service Commission.
- Adhere to Deadline: Objections will be entertained from 06.04.2026 to 08.04.2026. No representation(s) will be considered after 05:00 PM on 08.04.2026 (Wednesday).

Objection Fee & Last Date
The objection window is open for a limited period:
- Start Date for Objections: 06.04.2026
- Last Date for Objections: 08.04.2026, 05:00 PM
- Objection Fee: Rs. 500/- per question

It is crucial to submit objections within this timeframe, ensuring all required documents and the prescribed fee are included. Objections submitted through any other mode (e.g., email, online portal) will not be entertained.
What Happens After Objections?
Once the objection window closes, the JKPSC will review all the representations received from candidates. A panel of subject matter experts typically scrutinizes the challenged questions and the evidence provided. If any objection is found to be valid and correct, the commission will revise the provisional answer key. The fee paid for such genuine/correct objections will be refunded to the candidates. Subsequently, a Final Answer Key will be released (though the date for this is not specified in the current notification), based on which the final evaluation of OMR sheets and result declaration will take place. Candidates should regularly check the official JKPSC website for updates regarding the final answer key and result announcement.
