The Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) has released the provisional answer key for the Combined Competitive (Preliminary) Examination 2025 on June 8. Candidates who appeared for the exam can access the answer keys for General Studies Paper I and Paper II by visiting the official website, apsc.nic.in. The answer key is available under the “Important Links” section and corresponds to Advertisement No. 12/2025. This release allows candidates to cross-check their responses and estimate their scores before the final results are declared.

To ensure transparency, APSC has also opened the objection window for candidates who wish to challenge any of the provisional answers. Objections can be submitted online through the same portal. Applicants must log in using their roll number and date of birth, select the appropriate advertisement number and post name, and submit detailed reasoning for each objection. This process helps the commission finalize the most accurate answer key based on genuine concerns raised by test-takers.

The preliminary examination included two MCQ-based papers—General Studies Paper I and II—each carrying 200 marks and lasting two hours. GS Paper I featured 30–35% of questions specifically related to Assam. For Paper II, candidates must secure a minimum of 33% marks to qualify. Aspirants are advised to keep an eye on the official website for any updates regarding final answer keys, result announcements, and further stages of the selection process. The release of the provisional answer key marks a critical step in the recruitment process for various administrative posts under APSC CCE 2025.
