The Tripura Public Service Commission (TPSC), Agartala, has released the Provisional Answer Key of the Written Examination for the post of Technical Assistant (Group-C, Non-Gazetted) under Advertisement No. 17/2025, covering all four question paper series – Series A, B, C, and D. The Provisional Answer Key PDF (file: P_Ans_Tech._Asstt_290726.pdf) was released on 29 July 2026 and is available for download on the official TPSC website tpsc.tripura.gov.in. The Technical Assistant post is under the Directorate of Treasuries and Accounts, Finance Department, Government of Tripura, and was advertised alongside the Programmer post under the same Advertisement No. 17/2025 – a total of 16 vacancies (8 Programmer + 8 Technical Assistant) were announced. Candidates who appeared in the written examination for the 8 Technical Assistant vacancies can now download the Provisional Answer Key, cross-check their responses, estimate their scores, and submit challenges for any answer they believe is incorrect. After review by the expert committee, the Final Answer Key will be published, on which the result will exclusively be based.
Important Note: Four points requiring immediate attention from Technical Assistant exam candidates. First, the Provisional Answer Key released (P_Ans_Tech._Asstt_290726.pdf) specifically covers the Technical Assistant paper under Advt. No. 17/2025 – candidates who appeared for the Programmer post under the same Advt. 17/2025 should verify whether a separate answer key for the Programmer post has also been released on tpsc.tripura.gov.in. Second, candidates must use only the Series key (A, B, C, or D) that corresponds to the Series on their question booklet – using the wrong Series key will give an entirely incorrect score estimate. Third, the objection/challenge window has a specific deadline – check tpsc.tripura.gov.in immediately for the exact last date; TPSC does not consider any challenge received after the window closes under any circumstances. Fourth, the Provisional Answer Key marks are an estimate only – the result and Score Summary will be based exclusively on the Final Answer Key published after the expert committee reviews all valid challenges.
