This quick-reference table consolidates every key date so candidates don't miss the objection deadline.

What Happens After the Objection Window Closes?

This section explains the next stage in the process based on GPSC's standard practice for answer key objections.

Once the objection window closes on 29 June 2026, GPSC's subject-matter experts review all valid objections submitted with supporting evidence. If any objection is found valid, the corresponding answer is revised, and GPSC subsequently releases the Final Answer Key, which forms the basis for evaluating Preliminary Test results.
