How to Download the Answer Key

Official Website / Portal

All answer keys are released on the BPSC official website (bpsc.bihar.gov.in) or the portal dedicated for candidate login. Downloading from unofficial sources may risk inaccurate or fake keys.

Steps to Download

Go to the BPSC website → Latest Notifications / Candidate Dashboard.

Look for “BPSC LDC Answer Key 2025” link.

Click the link → download the PDF for the provisional key first.

Save the PDF — you may need to view different sets (Set A, B, C etc.) depending on your exam paper.

Provisional vs Final Key

Provisional Key comes first — to allow objections.

After objections are considered and reviewed, the final key is published. Final key is used for result calculation.

How to Challenge / Submit Objections

If you believe some answers in the provisional key are incorrect:

You are eligible to object (usually anyone who took the exam).

Use the designated objection form (available on the BPSC site with the answer key notice).

Provide acceptable justification/documentary evidence for why that answer is incorrect.

File the objection before the deadline. Once the objection window closes, no objections are entertained.

Estimating Your Score Using the Answer Key

First, tally how many questions you got correct by comparing your responses with the answer key.

Apply the marking scheme (if every correct answer gives + marks; note negative marking if applicable).

Subtract marks for wrong answers (if negative marking is mentioned).

This gives you a “self-estimated” score, which is helpful for predicting your result.

Expected Cut-Offs for 2025

While the official cut-off is not yet released, here are some educated guesses based on past trends:

General category may require a higher score due to competition.

Reserved categories (SC, ST, OBC, EWS) will have lower cut-offs as per norms.

Factors influencing cut-off include difficulty level, number of applicants, number of vacancies (which is modest: 26) and performance in the exam.

Once provisional key is out, candidates usually estimate cut-off within a few percentage points of last year’s figures.

Common Mistakes & Points Aspirants Should Watch

Downloading the wrong set of question paper / answer key (if there are multiple sets).

Misreading the instructions about how many marks are awarded/per question and negative marking (if any).

Missing the deadline for raising objections — once that window closes, you lose the opportunity.

Relying on unofficial sources for answer keys — accuracy can’t be guaranteed there.

What Next After the Answer Key

Wait for final answer key and results. The results will use the final key.

Meanwhile, candidates can prepare for Mains or further stages (if applicable).

Use your estimated score and expected cut-offs to see if you are likely to qualify, so you can plan what to prepare next.

Conclusion

The BPSC LDC Answer Key 2025 is an important milestone for all aspirants. With the exam held on 20 September 2025, everyone is now waiting on the provisional answer key, expected soon. Make sure to keep a close eye on the official BPSC website, download the key as soon as it’s out, compare your answers, and if needed, raise objections within the permitted time. Estimating your score early will help you strategize for what comes next — whether that’s preparing for the mains or moving on with confidence.
