05. How to Raise Online Objection Against Model Answer — Step by Step
- Visit the Official CGPSC Website — Go to www.psc.cg.gov.in. The model answer key and objection link are available on the official website. Log in using your registered candidate credentials (Registration Number and Password). Ensure JavaScript is enabled and use an updated browser (Chrome or Firefox).
- Go to Activity Section → Click “Objection Filing” — After logging in, navigate to the Activity Section on your dashboard. Click on “Objection Filing.” A new page will open for submitting your online objection. Here you will need to select: Exam Name (Assistant Director Planning 2025), Question Paper / Set (A/B/C/D as per your admit card), and Question Number you wish to challenge.
- Select the Type of Objection — Choose the category of objection that applies to your challenge (see objection types below). Only one type can be selected per question. Be accurate — selecting the wrong type weakens your objection.
- Write Objection Reason & Upload PDF Evidence — Clearly write the reason for your objection in the provided text box. Then prepare and upload a PDF document as proof — maximum 1 MB per question. Documents obtained via web links must also be downloaded and attached as PDF (not shared as a link). The source of evidence must include: Book/Newspaper/Magazine title, Author name, Edition, Publication date, and exact page numbers. Objections without proper sourcing are rejected.
- Click “Add” to Save — Repeat for All Questions — After entering all details for one question, click the “Add” button to save that objection. The saved objection will appear in the lower section of the page. Repeat steps 2–5 for each additional question you want to challenge. You can review and delete any incorrectly added objection before payment. Once payment is made, no changes are possible.
- Pay ₹50 Per Question — Click “Pay Now” — After adding all objections, click “Pay Now.” You will be directed to the online payment page. Pay ₹50 per question via bank payment gateway. The total fee = ₹50 × number of questions objected. This is your one and only chance — after payment, no additional objections can be filed, and no modifications can be made.
- Download Acknowledgement Receipt — After successful payment, go to Dashboard → Activity Section → “Download Acknowledgement.” Click to download and print the question-wise acknowledgement receipt. Save this PDF — it is proof that your objection has been submitted. Keep it until the final answer key is released.
6 Types of Objections You Can Raise:
| Type | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| a | All Answer Options Incorrect | All given answer choices for the question are wrong — no correct option exists among A, B, C, D. |
| b | Commission’s Answer is Incorrect | The answer option published by CGPSC is wrong — a different option is the correct answer. |
| c | More Than One Correct Answer | Multiple answer options are correct — the question has more than one valid response. |
| d | Question is Wrong | The question itself is factually incorrect, incomplete, or poorly framed. |
| e | Question is Out of Syllabus | The question is beyond the scope of the prescribed syllabus for this examination. |
| f | Hindi-English Translation Error | There is a factual difference between the Hindi and English versions of the question, creating ambiguity. |
