Objection Process — Rules, Strategy & Common Mistakes
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Portal | siupexam25.com/si2025questionobjections/Login.aspx |
| Last Date | 26 March 2026 — No extension. Submit before EOD. |
| Objection Fee | Nominal fee per question — fully refunded if objection accepted |
| Payment | Debit/Credit Card, Net Banking, UPI |
| Proof Required | NCERT books, reference textbooks, government gazette, court judgments |

Smart Objection Strategy
- Challenge only with solid proof: Rejected objections = fee not refunded. Only challenge when you have clear, unambiguous reference material.
- Use authoritative sources: NCERT textbooks, official gazette notifications, Supreme/High Court judgments. Wikipedia and social media not accepted.
- Cross-check 3+ coaching keys: Verify against Adda247, Testbook, Career Power, and PW before challenging.
- Submit 24–48 hours early: Portal traffic peaks on deadline day — submit at least a day before 26 March 2026.
Common Mistakes That Invalidate Objections
- Not submitting the full question paper: Single most common error — objections not processed without this final step.
- Unreliable proof: Screenshots, news articles, or unverified sites are rejected outright.
- Wrong question number: Double-check question ID before submitting.
- Waiting till 26 March: System overload on the last day — submit early.

UP SI Exam Analysis 2026 — Difficulty & Good Attempts
| Subject | Difficulty | Good Attempts | Key Observations |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Hindi | Easy–Moderate | 33–37 | Grammar-focused; Muhavare and comprehension scoring. Error-spotting straightforward. |
| General Knowledge | Moderate | 28–33 | Mix of static GK and current affairs; UP-specific events drew off-guard responses. |
| Numerical Ability | Moderate–Difficult | 28–34 | Most time-consuming; percentage, time-work, mensuration heavy. DI manageable. |
| Reasoning | Moderate–Difficult | 32–35 | Series and coding standard. Multi-step direction/blood-relation problems tricky. |
| Overall | Moderate | 124–137 | Expected Score Range: 310–342 marks |
What Your Score Means
- 310–342 marks (124–137 correct): Strong position — likely above UR cut-off based on current difficulty analysis.
- 275–310 marks: Competitive — may clear UR cut-off. Very strong for OBC/EWS.
- No negative marking advantage: Every unattempted question was lost potential — random attempts add 2.5 marks each.
- Objection benefit: 1 accepted objection = 2.5 marks. If near cut-off, even 2–3 accepted objections can change your outcome.
