The Madhya Pradesh Public Service Commission (MPPSC), Residency Area, Indore, has released the Amended Final Answer Key for Political Science (Paper II) of the Sahayak Pradhyapak Pariksha-2025 (Assistant Professor Examination 2025) on 25 August 2026 under Order No. 1086/69/2011/P-9. This amended key replaces the earlier final answer key dated 19 August 2026 for this subject only, which was withdrawn due to a typing error identified in it. The result for the Assistant Professor Examination 2025 will now be declared on the basis of this amended final answer key for Political Science, along with the unchanged General Studies (Paper I) final answer key and all other subject keys already released on 19 August 2026. The amended key covers all four question booklet sets – Set A, Set B, Set C and Set D.
Important – Read Before You Check: Two things candidates appearing in the Political Science paper must know. First, the 19 August 2026 final answer key for Political Science stands withdrawn and superseded – any score calculated using that key may be incorrect; use only the 25 August 2026 amended key (Order No. 1086/69/2011/P-9) for your score estimation. Second, no further objections or representations on the Political Science paper will be entertained by MPPSC – the amended key is final and the result will be declared on its basis. The General Studies answer key and all other subject answer keys issued on 19 August 2026 are not affected by this amendment and remain valid.

What Changed and Why
MPPSC released the final answer key for all subjects of the Assistant Professor Examination 2025 on 19 August 2026. Following its release, a typing error was identified specifically in the Political Science (Paper II) answer key. MPPSC has now issued a corrected version under Order No. 1086/69/2011/P-9 dated 25 August 2026 to replace it.
The amendment affects only the Political Science (Paper II) answer key. All other aspects of the examination – including the General Studies (Paper I) final answer key and the final answer keys for all other subject papers released on 19 August 2026 – remain unchanged and final. The result for the entire MPPSC Assistant Professor 2025 examination will be declared on the basis of the amended key for Political Science and the unchanged keys for all other subjects.
Candidates who appeared in the Political Science paper must use the 25 August 2026 amended key for any score calculation. The earlier 19 August 2026 key for this subject is no longer valid.
