Latest Update
APSC issued two notifications for this exam. Notification No. 68PSC/CON/Exam-11/2025-2026 covers the General Knowledge paper, and No. 93PSC/CON/Exam-11/2025-2026 covers the four subject papers. Both are listed on the commission’s Answer Keys page, next to a link for submitting objections.
Provisional or Final?
These keys are provisional. APSC may change an answer after it reviews the objections. The commission has not given a date for a final key or for the result in these two notifications.
Exam Details
The General Knowledge sheet shows 100 questions, 100 marks and a time of 2 hours. Series A is on the first page. The sheet does not mention marks per question or negative marking, so candidates should check Advertisement No. 25/2025 for those rules.
How to Download the Answer Key
- Open the Answer Keys page on the APSC website from the table below.
- Look for Soil Conservation Ranger, Advt. No. 25/2025.
- Click General Knowledge or your subject. Each entry says Series A, B, C, D.
- Save the PDF, and go to the page for your own series.
How to Check Answers
Keep your OMR carbon copy or your rough record ready, if you have one. Use only the page for your booklet series. In the General Knowledge paper, Series A shows question 1 as A and question 2 as D. Another series can have a different answer at the same number.
Count your correct answers to get a rough estimate. Do not treat that count as your final score until the marking rules are confirmed.
How to Submit an Objection
APSC has set clear conditions in both notifications:
- Online only: objections go through the link on the official website.
- Proof needed: a claim must come with authentic sources.
- Weak sources rejected: a reference to any website, or to unspecified documents, will not be entertained.
- No email or hard copy: petitions sent this way will not be considered.
So a standard textbook or a government document, named clearly, is a sensible choice. That part is our suggestion, as APSC does not list approved sources.
What Happens After This
APSC will review the claims and then take the required action, as its notifications put it. No further schedule is given. Check the What’s New and Answer Keys sections of the website regularly.
