UPSSSC PET 2025 Answer Key: A significant update has emerged for the lakhs of candidates eagerly awaiting the Preliminary Eligibility Test (PET) 2025, conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission (UPSSSC). The commission has released the answer key for the exam held on September 6 and 7. Candidates can now download the Answer Key according to their shift and match the answers to the questions. The Answer Key will be available on the commission's official website until September 15, 2025. This means candidates have approximately one week to check their answers and submit any objections within the stipulated timeframe.
The Answer Key is extremely useful for candidates as it contains the correct answers to all questions. The UP PET 2025 Answer Key has been released in PDF format, including the shift-wise question papers and their correct answers. This allows candidates to easily match their attempted answers, estimate how many questions they answered correctly, and determine if they are likely to meet the potential cutoff. The Answer Key not only provides an indication of the results but also offers direction for future preparation.

When and Where Was the Exam Held
The UPSSSC PET 2025 was conducted on September 6 and 7, 2025, in two shifts. The exam took place at examination centers established in 48 districts across Uttar Pradesh. The first shift was conducted from 10 AM to 12 PM, while the second shift exam concluded from 3 PM to 5 PM. According to the commission, a total of 25,31,996 candidates applied for this examination, out of which 19,41,993 candidates appeared for the exam. The attendance percentage was 76.70%, indicating a large number of candidates participated in this examination.
Procedure to Raise Objections on the Answer Key
As is the case with every competitive examination, candidates can also raise objections on the UP PET Answer Key. If any candidate believes that the answer to a question is incorrect or there has been a technical error, they can submit an objection through the objection link available on the commission's website by depositing the prescribed fee. The last date for submitting objections is September 15, 2025. The commission will release the final Answer Key after examining all objections, based on which the result will be prepared. Therefore, candidates are advised to carefully check their answers and raise their objections in a timely manner where necessary.
Change in Validity of Scorecard
This time, the commission has also provided information about another significant change related to the PET 2025 examination. Earlier, PET scorecards were valid for only one year, but now their validity has been extended to three years. According to the Government Order issued by the Uttar Pradesh Government on April 28, 2025, the marks obtained in the PET examination will remain effective for three years from the date of uploading the examination result on the commission's website. This change is a relief for candidates as they will no longer be obligated to take the PET exam every year. Candidates who have scored well this time will be able to use their scores in various recruitments announced by the commission for the next three years.
Estimating Results and Cutoff from the Answer Key
Candidates can use the Answer Key not only to estimate their marks but also to get an idea about the potential cutoff. The PET cutoff varies each year, determined by the difficulty of the exam, the number of candidates, and reserved categories. Experts believe that the level of the exam this year has been balanced, and the cutoff may remain similar to last year's. However, the exact situation will only be known after the final result is declared.
