CSIR IITR Lucknow Junior Secretariat Assistant Answer Key 2025

This page tracks CSIR IITR Lucknow Junior Secretariat Assistant Answer Key 2025, a answer key release. The key figures are an application window closing 19 March 2025 and a fee of ₹500 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 17 February 2025 and close on 19 March 2025, giving candidates 31 days to complete the process. The 31-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 27/04/2025; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The upper age limit for unreserved candidates is 28 years. On qualifications, the notification states: 10+2 Intermediate Exam from Any Recognized Board in India. English Typing 35 WPM OR Hindi Typing : 30 WPM. 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.

SC / ST / PH and All Category Female are exempt from the application fee under this notification. All fee-paying categories are charged the same ₹500. 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.
