The UPSSSC Final Answer Key 2026 has been uploaded for three Mains examinations on the same day. The Commission issued separate notices on 20 August 2026 for BCG Technician, Pharmacist and the UP Pollution Control Board joint cadre exams, releasing the master set answer key in each case after disposing of the objections filed against the provisional key.
UPSSSC final answer key — live updates
22.08.2026: Checked the Commission notice board. All three answer key notices remain live and are marked visible up to 27.08.2026. No result notice has followed for any of the three examinations yet.
20.08.2026: UPSSSC uploaded the master set answer key in descriptive form for three Mains examinations, under notices numbered 181, 182 and 183. In each case the key follows the disposal of objections raised against the provisional key published on 01.07.2026.
Which UPSSSC exams got a final answer key
Three different advertisements reached the same stage together, which is why candidates saw three notices appear on one day.
| Which exam did you appear in | Advertisement and notice details |
|---|---|
| BCG Technician Mains (PET-2023) | Advt. No. 10-Exam/2024. Notice no. 183/06/Computer Section (12)/2025-26/10-Exam/2024, dated 20.08.2026. |
| Pharmacist Mains (PET-2025) | Advt. No. 01-Exam/2026. Notice no. 181/02/Computer Section (12)/2026/01-Exam/2026, dated 20.08.2026. |
| UP Pollution Control Board joint cadre Mains (PET-2025) | Advt. No. 02-Exam/2026. Notice no. 182/03/Computer Section (12)/2026/02-Exam/2026, dated 20.08.2026. |
| Who signed all three notices | The Controller of Examinations, Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission, Lucknow. |
| How long the notices stay visible | Marked visible up to 27.08.2026 on the Commission’s notice board. |
UPSSSC answer key exam dates and objection timeline
All three examinations followed an identical sequence, and the objection window for each closed weeks before this release.
| Timeline question | What the notices record |
|---|---|
| When was the Pharmacist exam held | 29.06.2026. |
| When was the Pollution Control Board exam held | 29.06.2026, the same day as the Pharmacist paper. |
| When was the BCG Technician exam held | 30.06.2026. |
| When was the provisional answer key published | 01.07.2026 for all three examinations, by a notice of that date. |
| When did the objection link open | 02.07.2026, through a separate notice uploading the objection link on the Commission’s website. |
| What was released on 20.08.2026 | The master set answer key in descriptive form, after the objections received against the provisional key were disposed of. |
What a UPSSSC master set answer key actually means
This is not another provisional key and it is not a result. Understanding what the Commission has released avoids a wasted wait.
| Question about this stage | Position under these notices |
|---|---|
| Is this the final answer key | Yes. It is the master set key issued after the objections against the provisional key were resolved. |
| Can you still raise an objection | No. The objection window ran from 02.07.2026 and has closed. These notices carry no fresh objection facility. |
| What form is the key in | Descriptive, tied to the master question set rather than to your individual booklet series. |
| Is the result declared | Not yet. No result notice has been issued for any of the three examinations as on 22.08.2026. |
| Where is the key hosted | On upsssc.gov.in, in the Download Answer Key Against Post section, as stated in each notice. |
How to check the UPSSSC final answer key online
The Commission keeps answer keys in a post-wise section rather than attaching them to each notice, so the route is slightly different from a result download.
- Open the Commission’s website and go to the Download Answer Key Against Post section linked at the end of this page.
- Select your advertisement number, 10-Exam/2024 for BCG Technician, 01-Exam/2026 for Pharmacist or 02-Exam/2026 for the Pollution Control Board exam.
- Open the master set answer key and note that it follows the master question set, not your own booklet series.
- Match your recorded responses question by question against the master set to estimate your score.
- Save or print the key, since the notices are marked visible only up to 27.08.2026.
Calculating your score before the UPSSSC result
Once you have the key you can work out an approximate score, but two things change the number and both are worth knowing before you draw conclusions.
| Scoring question | What to keep in mind |
|---|---|
| Does the key match your booklet series | No. It is a master set key, so map your question numbers to the master set before comparing. |
| Were any questions deleted or revised | Possibly. The master set key reflects the disposal of objections, so it can differ from the provisional key published on 01.07.2026. |
| Does a higher raw score guarantee selection | No. Selection follows the merit and cut-off the Commission approves, along with document verification where applicable. |
| When will the cut-off be known | Not officially announced. UPSSSC publishes cut-offs alongside the final result notice, which has not yet been issued for these three exams. |
| Will individual objection outcomes be told to you | No. The notices record only that objections were disposed of before the master set key was uploaded. |
What to do if the answer key is not available for your exam
Several UPSSSC examinations are running in parallel, so a missing key usually means your advertisement is at a different stage.
| Situation | What it means |
|---|---|
| Your exam is not listed among the three | These notices cover only Advt. 10-Exam/2024, 01-Exam/2026 and 02-Exam/2026. Other advertisements follow their own timelines. |
| The key is not available against your post | Check that you selected the correct advertisement number in the post-wise answer key section, since posts are grouped by advertisement and not by exam name. |
| You are looking for the result instead | No result has been declared for these three examinations. The Commission publishes results under a separate notice. |
| You want to challenge an answer | Not possible at this stage. The objection facility opened on 02.07.2026 against the provisional key and is closed. |
| The notice has disappeared from the board | All three were marked visible up to 27.08.2026, after which they move out of the current notice list. |

The Pharmacist and Pollution Control Board written exams were held on 29 June 2026, and the BCG Technician written exam on 30 June 2026.
Can I still object to the UPSSSC answer key?
No. The provisional answer key was published on 1 July 2026 and the objection link was uploaded on 2 July 2026. That window has closed, and the 20 August notices carry no fresh objection facility.
What is a master set answer key?
It is the descriptive answer key tied to the master question set rather than to an individual candidate's booklet series, issued after the Commission disposes of the objections raised against the provisional key.
Is the UPSSSC result declared for these exams?
No. As on 22 August 2026 no result notice has been issued for BCG Technician, Pharmacist or the Pollution Control Board examination. Only the final answer key has been released.
Where do I download the UPSSSC final answer key?
From the Download Answer Key Against Post section on upsssc.gov.in. Answer keys are grouped by advertisement number rather than attached to each notice.

The key is issued for the master question set. Candidates need to map their own booklet series question numbers to the master set before comparing responses.
