Manipur PSC Assistant Engineer Answer Key 2026

Manipur PSC Assistant Engineer Answer Key 2026: Overview

The Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC) has published the provisional answer key for the Assistant Engineer/Manager Written Examination 2026. The recruitment (Reference No. 7/1/2026-MPSC (DR)) covers 130 vacancies for Assistant Engineer/Manager in Civil and Electrical disciplines. The objective written examination was held on 12 November 2026, and the answer key PDFs were released on 13 November 2026 on mpscmanipur.gov.in.

The key covers the General Ability Test, Civil Engineering Paper-I and Paper-II, and Electrical Engineering Paper-I and Paper-II. The conventional written examination is scheduled for 13 November 2026.

What Is an Answer Key? Provisional vs Final

An answer key is the official list of correct answers to every question in a paper. Candidates use it to check their responses and estimate their marks before the result is declared.

• Provisional answer key: Released soon after the exam. It is open to challenge, and answers can change after review.
• Final answer key: Published after the commission examines all valid objections. The result is prepared from this version.

The key released on 13 November 2026 is provisional. The final answer key has not been announced.

How to Calculate Your Estimated Score

The answer key notification does not state the marks per correct answer or the negative marking rule. Check the official examination scheme in the recruitment notification (look for the marks per question and the deduction for a wrong answer) before you calculate.

The formula is:

Estimated score = (Correct answers x marks per correct answer) minus (Wrong answers x negative marks per wrong answer)

Unattempted questions normally carry no marks, but confirm this in the scheme.

Illustrative Example

The values below are made up to show the method. They are not the MPSC scheme. Suppose a paper awards +2 for each correct answer and deducts 0.5 for each wrong answer. You attempt 70 questions, with 50 correct and 20 wrong.

Replace the figures with the marks in the official scheme and do the sum separately for each paper.

Compare Section-wise and Estimate the Cut-off

Work out your score for each paper: General Ability Test, Paper-I and Paper-II of your discipline. Note the correct, wrong and unattempted counts for each. This shows where you gained and where you lost marks.

The cut-off has not been announced, and the source gives no category-wise cut-off. To form a rough view:

• Check the notification for how the objective and conventional stages are combined and whether any paper has a qualifying minimum.
• Look for category-wise qualifying marks in the notification, if it states any.
• Compare your score with the cut-offs of earlier MPSC engineering recruitments, only if those are officially published.
• Ask peers in your own category for their scores to see where you stand.

Treat any cut-off figure from coaching sites or social media as a guess until the commission publishes it.

How to Raise an Objection

MPSC accepts objections only through its online portal during the announced window.

1. Open the objection portal and log in with your Application Number and Date of Birth.
2. Open the question you want to challenge and review the provisional answer shown.
3. Select the answer you consider correct.
4. Write a justification citing authentic sources, with book title and page number where applicable.
5. Upload supporting documents in PDF format.
6. Pay Rs. 300 for each question you challenge.
7. Complete the final submission before 5:00 PM on 20 November 2026.

Objections without adequate evidence may be rejected. Documents in other formats, or objections sent by any other method, will not be accepted.

How the Review Works

The source does not describe the internal review process or give a date for the revised key. The commission has said the final answer key is not yet announced. Watch mpscmanipur.gov.in for the final key notice and any related instructions.

If Your Objection Is Accepted

If the commission finds your objection valid, the answer in the final key is corrected. Candidates are then evaluated against the corrected answer, and the change applies to the result. How marks are given for a changed answer (for example, whether all candidates get credit or only those who marked the corrected option) is a rule you should look for in the final key notice. The source does not state whether the fee is refunded on acceptance, so check the objection instructions on the portal.

If Your Objection Is Rejected

The source mentions no appeal or further representation after the objection window closes, and it does not say whether individual replies are sent. Read the final answer key notice and the objection instructions for any such provision. Candidates who want further information may consider an application under the Right to Information Act, 2005, to the commission's public information officer. The commission's own notices decide what is open to you, so treat RTI as a way to obtain information rather than a guaranteed way to change an answer.

Judge Your Chances Realistically

• Do not rely on one number. Your estimate can move after the final key, so keep a margin for changed answers.
• Remember the other stage. The conventional written examination is on 13 November 2026, so the objective score is only part of the picture. Check the notification for how the stages count.
• Do not count on your objections. Add marks from a challenged question only after the final key confirms the change.
• Do not assume the worst either. With 130 vacancies and no announced cut-off, a middling estimate is not a reason to stop preparing for the next stage.
• Recheck your estimate after the final key. Recalculate once the final key is published.

Tips to Avoid Marking Mistakes

• Confirm your booklet series before comparing any answer.
• Use the PDF for the correct discipline and paper.
• Mark each question as correct, wrong or unattempted before totalling.
• Apply the marks and negative marking from the official scheme, not from memory.
• Count wrong answers separately from unattempted ones.
• Recheck the total, and keep your own response record safe in case you decide to object.
• Do not pay the objection fee until you have checked your source for each challenged question.
