If you took the DFCCIL recruitment exam this year, the DFCCIL Junior Manager and other posts answer key 2025 is the document you’ve been waiting for. The provisional answer key lets candidates check their responses against the official keys, estimate likely marks, and — if needed — raise objections within the stipulated window. This article explains where to download the key, key dates, how to raise an objection, and practical tips to convert the provisional key into an accurate score estimate.
Provisional answer keys for DFCCIL recruitment exams were released earlier in 2025 (CBT conducted in July), and DFCCIL activated download/objection links after the exam.
some Stage-II exams held later in the year, DFCCIL published corresponding provisional keys and opened a separate objection window (reports indicate activity around mid-December 2025 for Stage-II).
Background & context
The Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India (DFCCIL) recruited for multiple posts in 2025 — including Junior Manager, Executive, and MTS — across several streams. After online computer-based tests (CBTs), DFCCIL follows standard practice: publish a provisional answer key, allow a window for candidates to challenge (with evidence), review objections, and then issue a final answer key that’s used to prepare results and cut-offs. Major portals and national press covered the provisional key release and objection timelines in July 2025; later recruitment rounds or stage-specific keys appeared again in December for Stage-II test takers.
Where to download the DFCCIL answer key 2025
Visit the official DFCCIL website: dfccil.com.
Navigate to the “Recruitment” / “Candidate Login” / “Answer Key / Response Sheet” section.
Login using your registration number and password / DOB.
Download the provisional answer key and your response sheet (set-wise PDFs are usually provided).
Important dates & objection window (examples from 2025)
CBT (example round): Exams held 10–11 July 2025; provisional keys published 18 July 2025. Objections accepted (online) for a limited period (example: 18–22 July 2025 for that round).
Stage-II (example round): Exams held in mid-December 2025 (13–14 Dec); provisional keys / objection portal reported active from 17 Dec 2025 with objections until ~21 Dec 2025. (If you sat Stage-II, use the dates that apply to that notification.)
Always confirm the exact dates shown on the DFCCIL portal because different posts/stages have different calendars.
How to calculate your estimated score (step-by-step)
Download the provisional answer key and your response sheet (the key shows official answers; the response sheet shows how you answered).
For each correct answer: + (marks per question according to notification — usually shown in exam notice).
For each wrong answer: subtract negative marks (if negative marking applies). DFCCIL notifications list negative marking rules; use those exactly.
Add section totals to get the estimated raw score.
Compare with previous DFCCIL cut-offs (similar posts) to gauge selection chances — but remember final cut-offs depend on vacancies, category and final key.
If you want, paste your raw counts (correct, incorrect, unanswered) and I’ll calculate an estimate.
Conclusion
The DFCCIL Junior Manager and other posts answer key 2025 is a crucial checkpoint — it helps you estimate your score and, where necessary, file informed objections. Because DFCCIL runs multiple recruitment stages, verify which stage/CBT you appeared for and use the correct answer key and objection window. Start by downloading your response sheet and the provisional key from dfccil.com, calculate your estimated marks with the rules in your notification, and submit objections (if any) with solid references during the allotted time.
