Objection Fee & Last Date
This notification (dated 20th March, 2026) refers to the Commission’s Notification No. 7/2/2022-MPSC (DR) dated 16/03/2026 for instructions regarding the submission of claims & objections, applicable fees, and the last date. Candidates are strongly advised to refer to the earlier notification for these crucial details to ensure their objections are validly submitted.
What Happens After Objections
Once the objection window closes, the Manipur Public Service Commission will review all the submitted claims and objections. A panel of subject matter experts typically scrutinizes the challenged questions and their corresponding answers. Based on this review, MPSC may decide to:
- Modify the provisional answer key for certain questions.
- Delete incorrect questions, with marks adjusted proportionally or awarded to all candidates.
- Keep the original answer key unchanged if the objections are deemed invalid.
After this process, a Final Answer Key will be released, which will be used for the evaluation of OMR sheets or online responses. The result of the recruitment examination will then be prepared based on this final answer key. Candidates should regularly check the MPSC official website for updates on the final answer key and result declaration.
