What will happen to the wrong answers?
The HPPSC will consider the objections raised by the candidates. In case a substantial deviation is found in the given answers, it provides the right answers in the revised HPPSC HPAS answer key. There are cases where all the answer options given in the question papers were wrong. In that case, the commission will omit the question from the papers and that question will not be considered as the part of HPPSC HPAS prelims question paper.
The total number of questions and the total marks will be reduced in that case and the final merit list will be prepared based on this reduced number of questions.
