Separate PDFs are available for Paper I (General Medicine and Paediatrics) and Paper II (Surgery, Gynaecology & Obstetrics, and Preventive & Social Medicine). Candidates can download both keys from the official website and raise objections within the specified window.

How to Calculate Score

  • Based on the official marking scheme for UPSC CMS 2026:
  • Each question has four alternative answers.
  • One-third (0.33) of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for a wrong answer.
  • Marking more than one answer to a question is treated as a wrong answer, with the same penalty applied.
  • No penalty for questions left blank or unattempted.
  • Calculate your score by assigning marks for correct answers and deducting for incorrect ones accordingly. Cross-check the question booklet series/set code with the correct answer key PDF before calculating.

How to Raise Objections

  • UPSC accepts representations against the provisional answer keys only through its official online portal. No email, post, or in-person submissions are entertained.
  • Log in at upsconline.nic.in using your registered credentials.
  • Go to "Examinations" and select "Representations on Question Paper & Provisional Answer Keys."
  • Choose the relevant question, paper, and reason for objection.
  • Submit supporting justification where the portal allows it.
  • Ensure submission before the deadline: the window opens on the 3rd day from the exam date (2 August 2026) and closes at 6:00 PM on the 7th day from the exam date. No objections are entertained after this deadline.
