JPSC Pre 2026 Answer Key

This page tracks JPSC Pre 2026 Answer Key, a answer key release. The key figures are 103 vacancies, an application window closing 09 March 2026, and a fee of ₹100 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 31 January 2026 and close on 09 March 2026, giving candidates 38 days to complete the process. The 38-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. The exam is currently shown for 12/04/2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

103 posts are advertised in this notification. With a small number of posts, expect a high applicant-to-vacancy ratio and cut-offs well above the qualifying mark. Category-wise distribution, where the notification provides it, is shown in the vacancy table further down this page — check the count against your own category rather than the overall total, since reserved-category cut-offs and competition ratios differ substantially from the unreserved ones.

The age limit runs from 21 to 35 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 14-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Bachelor Degree in Any Stream from Any Recognized University in India. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹50 and ₹100, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, and net banking. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Work out a provisional score from the official key before the objection window closes. Objections generally require a fee per question and supporting evidence, and are only worth raising where you can cite a source. Do not use unofficial keys circulating on social media to estimate cut-offs — they are frequently wrong on exactly the disputed questions.
