TIFR GS 2026 Provisional Answer Key Objection Window

The provisional answer key release allows candidates to review responses and flag discrepancies, if any, before final evaluation.

Candidates must submit objections only through the designated feedback mechanism provided by the institute. Queries sent via email or offline modes will not be considered. Each objection must be supported with proper academic justification to be evaluated by subject experts. Once the objection period closes on December 28, 2025, TIFR will scrutinize all valid submissions before releasing the final answer key. The final key will form the basis for result preparation and shortlisting for the next stages of admission.
