The Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC), Agartala, has released the Provisional Answer Key of the Written Examination for the post of Senior Computer Assistant (Group-C, Non-Gazetted) under Advertisement No. 19/2025, covering all four question paper series – Series A, B, C, and D. The Provisional Answer Key PDF (file: P_Ans_SCA_290726.pdf) was released on 29 July 2026 and is available on the official TPSC website tpsc.tripura.gov.in. Candidates who appeared in the written examination for the 27 Senior Computer Assistant vacancies across the Department of Industries and Commerce (Information Technology), the Home (Jail) Department, and the Finance Department (Taxes Organisation) of the Government of Tripura can now download the Provisional Answer Key, match it against their responses, and raise challenges/representations for any question they believe has been incorrectly answered. TPSC will review all valid objections through its expert committee and publish the Final Answer Key, on which the result will be based.
Important Note: Three points requiring immediate attention. First, the Provisional Answer Key covers all four series (A, B, C and D) – candidates must use only the answer key corresponding to the Series marked on their question paper; using the wrong series key will give a completely incorrect score estimate. Second, the challenge/objection window has a deadline – check the official TPSC website tpsc.tripura.gov.in immediately for the exact last date to submit representations, as TPSC does not entertain objections after the window closes under any circumstances. Third, the result of the written examination will be computed exclusively from the Final Answer Key after the expert committee reviews all challenges – your score based on the Provisional Key is an estimate only and may change if any answer is corrected in the Final Key.
