Process For Result Prepration
The result preparation follows a thorough and fair process. Initially, the commission releases a provisional answer key, allowing candidates to review and raise objections if they notice any discrepancies. This ensures transparency and enables timely correction of any errors.
Once objections are reviewed, the commission revises the answer key and publishes the final version. Candidates’ answer sheets are then evaluated using this corrected answer key. The evaluation concludes with the creation of a merit list, identifying candidates who qualify for the next stage of the selection process.
