The West Bengal Public Service Commission (WBPSC) has released the provisional answer key for the Miscellaneous Services Preliminary Examination (Advt. No. 13/2024) on 5 October 2026. The exam was held on 4 October 2026. Candidates can download the key from psc.wb.gov.in and raise objections online between 6 October and 8 October 2026.
Important Note: Two things to keep in mind. First, there is no negative marking in this exam – every correct answer earns 2 marks, while incorrect and unattempted questions earn zero, so any score you calculate is a simple count of correct answers x 2. Second, the objection fee is not confirmed in the available information – check the official notice on psc.wb.gov.in before submitting your objection.

How to Calculate Your Marks Using the Answer Key
Compare each answer you marked with the official key, count only the matching answers, and apply this formula:
Estimated Score = Number of Correct Answers x 2
For example, if a candidate gets 72 answers right, 18 wrong, and leaves 10 blank, the estimated score is 72 x 2 = 144 out of 200. This score is only an estimate, since the answer key is provisional and may change after objections are reviewed.
