1. Answer Key Overview & What Just Happened
The Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog (HPRCA) released the provisional answer key and individual response sheets for the Assistant Staff Nurse (Post Code 25026) Computer Based Test on 8 May 2026. The CBT was conducted on 4 and 5 May 2026 for 312 vacancies under Advertisement No. 07/2025. If you sat for either day's shift, your recorded responses are now live on the candidate portal alongside the option HPRCA has marked as correct — shown highlighted in green inside the Candidate Response tab.
The window to challenge any answer is short. Objections open the same day the key is released (8 May 2026) and slam shut at 11:55 PM on 14 May 2026 — a six-day runway, weekends and all. Anything submitted after that timestamp simply will not be read. The Aayog has been explicit: no objections by email, no objections by phone, no objections by post or in person. Only the online portal, and only once you have paid ₹200 per question challenged.
Editorial Note from Govt Job News: This guide reconstructs the entire objection workflow from the official HPRCA candidate-portal user manual — including the exact form fields, the question-ID numbering quirk that catches many candidates off guard, and the document-upload rules that cause silent rejection. We have cross-checked dates and the 312-vacancy count against the official Advt. 07/2025 and the candidate portal screenshots. Two well-known competitor portals still show the wrong exam dates (March 20–21) and incorrect vacancy figures (390 or 508); those numbers belong to older or unrelated notifications — not to this answer key.
One thing worth saying clearly before you go further: the green-highlighted option on your response sheet is HPRCA's answer, not yours. Your choice appears separately under "Chosen Option." A lot of confusion in objection forms comes from candidates conflating the two and challenging a question they actually got right. Read both fields before paying anything.
2. Answer Key Dashboard — Dates & Direct Links
A consolidated view of every date and portal you need this week. Bookmark this section — the objection window is the only one that matters right now, and it closes faster than most people expect.
| Event | Date / Time | Status |
|---|---|---|
| CBT — Day 1 | 4 May 2026 | Completed |
| CBT — Day 2 | 5 May 2026 | Completed |
| Provisional Answer Key Released | 8 May 2026 | Live |
| Response Sheet Available | 8 May 2026 onwards | Live |
| Objection Window Opens | 8 May 2026 | Live |
| Objection Window Closes | 14 May 2026 at 11:55 PM | Closing soon |
| Final Answer Key (Expected) | Late May 2026 (tentative) | Upcoming |
| Result Declaration (Expected) | June 2026 (tentative) | Upcoming |
Deadline Alert: The portal does not extend the deadline if your payment fails or your upload errors out at 11:50 PM. Submit at least two hours before the 11:55 PM cut-off on 14 May. Late-night UPI failures and 400 KB upload bounces have ended otherwise-valid objections in past HPRCA cycles.
3. What the Response Sheet & Answer Key Actually Show
Inside the candidate portal there is no single PDF labelled "answer key." Instead, the Aayog pushes everything into a structured screen called the Candidate Response tab. Each question card carries seven pieces of information you need to identify before you can raise a meaningful objection.
| Field on Screen | What It Means | Why It Matters for Objections |
|---|---|---|
| Question Type | Format of the question (MCQ in this exam) | Confirms it is a challengeable objective question |
| Question ID | A 10-digit unique number for the question itself | This is the value you select inside the objection form — not the Q.No. on screen |
| Option 1, 2, 3, 4 IDs | 10-digit unique numbers for each of the four options | If you challenge the answer, the form expects the Option ID — not the letter A/B/C/D |
| Status | Answered or Not Answered | Unanswered questions can still be challenged on factual grounds |
| Chosen Option | The option you selected during the exam | Verify this matches what you actually picked — not the official answer |
| Green-Highlighted Option | The option HPRCA has marked as correct | This is the answer key. If it differs from authoritative source material, you have a case |
The screen does not present the answer key as a downloadable list. You can, however, generate a downloadable copy of your question paper with your responses and the correct answer by clicking the small "Click here to generate it" link that appears on the Candidate Response tab. Generating it is free; that PDF is your offline record while drafting objections.
4. How to Download Your Response Sheet & Answer Key
HPRCA reuses the same login credentials you used for the application and the admit card — your Application ID and the password you set at registration. If you have never changed the default password, it is your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format.
Go to the official HPRCA website and look for the recruitment-specific banner titled "Recruitment for the Post of Assistant Staff Nurse 2026 Exam." Click LOGIN at the top-right corner.
Use the same Application ID and User Password used while filling the application form. The captcha is alphanumeric; type it exactly as shown — case matters.
If this is your first login since the exam, the system forces a password change. The new password must be at least 8 characters with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numeric and symbolic characters — example pattern: Pass@1234.
Four tabs appear after login: Applicant Details, Candidate Response, Objection Form, Helpdesk. Click Candidate Response. Your question paper loads with your chosen options visible and the correct option highlighted in green.
A line at the top of the tab reads "To download your question paper for Assistant Staff Nurse 4th and 5th May 2026, click here to generate it." Clicking that link triggers a PDF download containing every question with your response and the correct answer side by side.
For every question you plan to challenge, write down the 10-digit Question ID and the 10-digit Option ID of the option you believe is correct. You will need these inside the Objection Form, and the response screen does not stay open during payment.
5. Score Calculation — A Worked Example
HPRCA uses the standard +1 / −0.25 marking scheme on the 120-question paper. Unattempted questions score zero — no penalty. The math is straightforward, but small errors here can convince you to spend ₹600 challenging answers when you are already above the projected cut-off.
| Marking Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Correct answer | +1 mark |
| Wrong answer | −0.25 mark |
| Unattempted | 0 mark |
| Total marks | 120 |
| Total questions | 120 |
| Duration | 90 minutes (1 hour 30 minutes) |
The formula: Probable Score = (Correct Answers × 1) − (Wrong Answers × 0.25)
Worked example. Suppose you attempted 105 out of 120 questions, left 15 blank, and after matching with the provisional key found 82 of your attempts correct and 23 incorrect.
Calculation: Score = (82 × 1) − (23 × 0.25) = 82 − 5.75 = 76.25 / 120. That is approximately 63.5%. If HPRCA increases your score by even one correct answer through a successful objection, you would land at 77.25; if it reverses one of your wrong answers (the question gets dropped entirely and the +1 you earned stays while −0.25 disappears), you would land at 76.50. Plan your objections around realistic mark gains, not theoretical ones.
A practical filter: only challenge a question if you can prove your answer with a citation from an NCERT textbook, a recognized nursing curriculum reference (e.g. BT Basavanthappa, Sister Nancy, Brunner & Suddarth's), or an official government publication. Challenging on the basis of coaching-institute notes or YouTube videos almost always fails.
6. How to Raise an Objection — Step by Step
Once your Question IDs and Option IDs are noted, switch to the Objection Form tab. The form is paginated — one question per submission. To challenge multiple questions, you complete and pay for one, then return and start over.
An Instructions popup appears with 13 numbered rules. Read it through — it confirms the ₹200 fee, the English-only rule, the 400 KB upload cap and the no-edit-after-submit policy. Close the popup to proceed.
Application Sequence Number, Application ID, Name, Mobile Number, Email ID, Post Name (Recruitment for the Post of Assistant Staff Nurse), Date of Exam (04-05-2026 or 05-05-2026 based on your shift) and Shift come pre-filled. Verify them quickly before moving on.
The Question ID dropdown lists every question you faced. Pick the one you noted earlier. Selecting the wrong Question ID is the single most common reason an objection is dismissed as invalid.
Choose the medium in which you attempted that question — English or Hindi. HPRCA conducts the paper bilingually, and the objection is evaluated in the version you read.
The dropdown typically includes options like wrong answer key, ambiguous question, more than one correct option, no correct option, translation discrepancy, or out-of-syllabus question.
Type the 10-digit Option ID of the answer you believe is correct. Note: the official PDF uses numbering 1, 2, 3, 4 to refer to options that appear on your paper as A, B, C, D — the values are paired in order (1=A, 2=B, 3=C, 4=D).
Toggle "Do you want to add remarks?" to Yes. Type a concise explanation in English. Cite your source — book name, edition, page number, or a regulator publication. Vague remarks like "I think the answer should be different" lead to discarded objections.
Click CLICK HERE TO UPLOAD. The Document/Image Upload modal opens with three slots: DOCUMENT 1 (mandatory, marked with a red asterisk), DOCUMENT 2 and DOCUMENT 3 (optional). Drop your PDF or JPG/JPEG file. Each file must be under 400 KB. Click Close.
The Amount field auto-shows ₹200. Click SUBMIT. The form locks — you cannot return and edit anything from this point. A summary screen confirms the submission and pushes you to the payment gateway.
HPRCA routes payments via ICICI Bank's payment gateway. Five tabs are offered: RTGS / NEFT, Net Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card and UPI (VPA or QR). Total Bill Amount displays ₹200.00 with zero convenience fee and zero GST.
Once Proceed Now is clicked and UPI/Card authentication succeeds, a confirmation page displays a Transaction ID in the format like 251202255426187. Take a screenshot and save the PDF if offered. This is your only proof if a query needs to be raised later.
Return to the Objection Form tab and click "click to raise new Objection" again. Each new question is a fresh submission, fresh document upload and a fresh ₹200 payment.
7. Objection Fee, Payment Modes & the Refund Question
The fee structure for the answer-key challenge is uniform across categories — no concession for SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwBD or female candidates. HPRCA treats the ₹200 as a quality filter that discourages frivolous objections.
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Fee per question | ₹200 |
| Convenience fee | ₹0.00 (waived on this gateway) |
| GST | ₹0.00 |
| Total billed | ₹200.00 (flat) |
| Refund if objection rejected | No refund |
| Refund if objection upheld | No refund (your answer simply gets credited) |
| Re-raising the same question | Allowed — but requires a fresh ₹200 payment |
| Maximum objections per candidate | No stated cap — but each costs ₹200 |
Accepted Payment Modes
The ICICI Bank gateway accepts five payment paths. Choose the one your bank handles fastest at the time of submission — last-day server load on the HPRCA portal historically slows UPI calls between 9 PM and 11 PM.
| Payment Mode | What You Need | Typical Speed |
|---|---|---|
| RTGS / NEFT | Beneficiary details from the gateway page | Slower — not ideal near deadline |
| Net Banking | Internet banking credentials of your bank | Quick — 30 to 60 seconds |
| Debit Card | Card number, expiry, CVV, OTP | Quick — 30 to 60 seconds |
| Credit Card | Card number, expiry, CVV, OTP | Quick — 30 to 60 seconds |
| UPI (VPA) | Your VPA (e.g., name@oksbi) — verify before proceeding | Fastest — under 30 seconds |
| UPI (QR Code) | Scan the displayed QR with any UPI app | Fast — but requires another device |
Mobile number and email ID on the payment page are optional but worth filling — that is where your ICICI transaction receipt is mailed.
8. Supporting Document Specs (Most Candidates Get This Wrong)
HPRCA's instructions are unambiguous on what counts as a valid supporting document. Where candidates lose objections is not in the citation itself — it is in the upload spec. A perfect citation in a 5 MB PDF gets you nowhere.
| Specification | Allowed | Not Allowed |
|---|---|---|
| File format | PDF, JPG, JPEG | PNG, WebP, HEIC, DOCX, ZIP |
| Maximum file size | 400 KB per file | Anything > 400 KB silently fails |
| Maximum number of files | 3 per objection | 4 or more — extra slot will not appear |
| Required slot | DOCUMENT 1 is mandatory | You cannot submit without at least one document |
| Content quality | Clearly readable, full page visible, citation page-marked | Blurred, partial, watermarked, low-resolution scans |
| Source authority | Textbook scans (with cover page), official guidelines, peer-reviewed journals, government circulars | WhatsApp forwards, screenshot of YouTube, coaching-institute mock-test keys, Wikipedia screenshots |
Pro Tip — How to Crunch a Scan Under 400 KB: Use ILovePDF or SmallPDF's "Compress PDF" tool at Medium quality — it typically takes a 2 MB scanned textbook page down to 200–300 KB without making the text unreadable. For JPG, export at 72 DPI rather than 300 DPI. If you have two relevant pages, combine them into a single PDF rather than uploading them as two of your three slots — that leaves a slot for a second, corroborating source.
9. Question ID vs Option ID — The Numbering Trap
Two numbering systems are running in parallel inside the candidate portal, and HPRCA's own instruction manual flags the confusion explicitly. Worth unpacking, because filling the wrong ID into the wrong field invalidates the entire objection.
| Identifier | Length | Example Format | Where It Appears |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q.No. | 1 to 3 digits | Q.1, Q.2, Q.118 | Top-left of each question card — sequential paper number |
| Question ID | 10 digits | 4410096188893 | Top-right of each question card — internal database ID |
| Option 1 ID | 10 digits | 4410092421743 | Mapped to Option A on your paper |
| Option 2 ID | 10 digits | 4410092421744 | Mapped to Option B on your paper |
| Option 3 ID | 10 digits | 4410092421742 | Mapped to Option C on your paper |
| Option 4 ID | 10 digits | 4410092421741 | Mapped to Option D on your paper |
The Aayog explicitly states: "Where the options in the actual question paper are indicated as A, B, C and D, the options numbered as 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the instructions shall be read as options A, B, C and D, respectively." Translated plainly: when the form asks for the "Correct Option ID as per candidate," look at your paper's A/B/C/D choice, find its position (first = 1, second = 2, etc.), then enter the 10-digit Option ID that corresponds to that position from the Candidate Response screen.
Common Mistake: Candidates type "C" or "3" into the Correct Option ID field. The form accepts numeric input but the evaluator sees an invalid ID and discards the objection — and your ₹200 stays gone. Always paste the full 10-digit Option ID.
10. Why Objections Get Rejected — 9 Avoidable Mistakes
HPRCA's evaluators discard a chunk of objections every cycle for the same recurring reasons. None of them require an appeal — once discarded, the objection is gone and so is the ₹200. The list below is built from the official Instructions popup and patterns visible across state recruitment commissions that use the same TCS-iON answer-key platform.
| # | Mistake | Consequence | How to Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Objection written in Hindi or Hinglish | Marked "Ambiguous Objection" and discarded | Enter the remark in English only — even if you attempted the paper in Hindi |
| 2 | Wrong Question ID selected | Objection treated as invalid — no evaluation | Cross-check the 10-digit Question ID before clicking SUBMIT |
| 3 | "Correct Option ID" left blank or filled as A/B/C/D | Form rejected by validator | Always type the full 10-digit Option ID |
| 4 | No supporting document uploaded | Form blocks submission — DOCUMENT 1 is mandatory | Upload at least one citation page under 400 KB |
| 5 | Vague reasoning in remarks ("This is wrong," "I disagree") | Discarded for "no valid explanation or reference" | Cite book name + edition + page number; explain the correct option in one or two sentences |
| 6 | Coaching-institute keys cited as proof | Not treated as an authentic source | Use NCERT, recognized nursing textbooks, peer-reviewed journals, or govt. publications |
| 7 | Document larger than 400 KB | Upload appears to succeed but document is not attached | Compress the file before upload; preview after the success message |
| 8 | Objection submitted after 11:55 PM on 14 May 2026 | Window closed — no consideration | Submit at least 2 hours before the deadline |
| 9 | Multiple objections in one form | Only the first question gets evaluated — rest are lost | One question per submission; click "Click to raise new Objection" for each next question |
11. Provisional vs Final Answer Key — What Changes Next
The 8 May 2026 release is explicitly labelled provisional. That word does heavy lifting. It signals that some answers in the current key can — and historically do — change between now and the result. Three things happen between the closing of the objection window and the release of the result.
HPRCA constitutes a panel of nursing-domain experts who go through every paid objection. Each objection is judged on the merit of the cited source against the original question and option language.
For each challenged question the panel can reach one of four conclusions: provisional answer is upheld; provisional answer is reversed in favour of a different option; question is marked as having multiple correct options (all matching options score +1); or the question is dropped entirely (every candidate gets +1 with no penalty).
HPRCA publishes a separate notice listing every question whose key has been changed or dropped, along with the corresponding revised answer. The result is then prepared using this final key. The final key is binding — no further challenges are accepted at this stage.
What this means for you: Even if you don't raise an objection yourself, you benefit from successful objections raised by other candidates — answer-key revisions apply to everyone's response sheet automatically. Watch the HPRCA notice board after 20 May 2026 for the revised key notification.
12. Official Instructions & Do's and Don'ts
The Instructions popup inside the objection portal lists 13 rules. The most consequential ones, distilled and explained:
✅ Do
- Raise objections only against the multiple-choice questions of this exam — Assistant Staff Nurse 2026.
- Submit one objection per question; use "Click to raise new Objection" to file the next.
- Write the remarks column in English with a clear explanation and a verifiable source reference.
- Upload at least one supporting document (PDF/JPG/JPEG, ≤400 KB) before clicking SUBMIT.
- Take a screenshot of the Transaction ID after each successful payment.
- Re-check the question and its options carefully before paying — the form locks after submission and cannot be edited.
🚫 Don't
- Don't raise objections via email, phone call, post or in-person visit — they will not be accepted.
- Don't expect a refund. The ₹200 is non-refundable regardless of whether your objection is upheld or rejected.
- Don't submit blurred or partial document scans — the panel will discard the objection as unsupported.
- Don't write remarks in Hindi or mixed language — only English is evaluated.
- Don't wait until 14 May night. Server load near the 11:55 PM deadline has historically caused failed UPI calls and dropped uploads.
- Don't challenge questions where you already chose the green-highlighted option — verify your "Chosen Option" matches before paying.
📞 Helpdesk
For technical issues with the portal — login failure, payment success but objection not recorded, document upload errors — contact HPRCA's helpdesk number +91 99866 38751 between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM on working days (closed Sunday and gazetted holidays).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Himachal Pradesh Rajya Chayan Aayog released the provisional answer key on 8 May 2026 for the Computer Based Test held on 4 and 5 May 2026. The response sheet showing your selected answers and the official correct option became available simultaneously on the candidate portal at hprca.hp.gov.in.
The objection window runs from 8 May 2026 until 14 May 2026 at 11:55 PM — a six-day period. Submissions made after 11:55 PM on 14 May will not be entertained. The HPRCA portal is the only channel; no objections by email, phone, post or in person are accepted.
HPRCA charges a flat ₹200 per question challenged. There is no convenience fee, no GST add-on and no category-based concession — the same ₹200 applies to General, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, PwBD and female candidates. The fee is non-refundable, whether your objection is upheld, rejected or you choose to re-raise it for a different option.
Yes — there is no stated cap on the number of objections. However, the portal accepts only one question per submission. After paying ₹200 and submitting your first objection, you must click "Click to raise new Objection" to start a fresh form for each additional question. Each subsequent question requires its own ₹200 payment, its own remarks and its own supporting document upload.
They are two different identifiers. Q.No. is the sequential paper number (Q.1, Q.2, etc.) shown at the top-left of each question card. Question ID is a 10-digit unique internal identifier (e.g., 4410096188893) shown at the top-right. The objection form expects the Question ID, not the Q.No. — selecting the wrong one is the leading reason objections get rejected as invalid.
HPRCA confirms this explicitly: "Where the options in the actual question paper are indicated as A, B, C and D, the options numbered as 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the instructions shall be read as options A, B, C and D, respectively." So Option 1 = A, Option 2 = B, Option 3 = C, Option 4 = D. When filling the "Correct Option ID as per candidate" field, enter the full 10-digit Option ID — never just the letter or the number.
Each supporting document must be under 400 KB and in PDF, JPG or JPEG format only. PNG, WebP, HEIC, DOCX and ZIP files are not accepted. You may upload up to 3 supporting documents per objection — DOCUMENT 1 slot is mandatory, slots 2 and 3 are optional. If the file exceeds 400 KB, the upload appears to succeed visually but the document is silently dropped.
HPRCA routes objection payments through the ICICI Bank payment gateway. Five tabs are available: RTGS/NEFT, Net Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card and UPI (both VPA entry and QR-code scan). UPI is typically the fastest path. After successful payment, the gateway displays a Transaction ID — screenshot it immediately as your only proof of submission.
Objections must be entered only in English, even if you attempted the paper in Hindi. The Aayog explicitly states that "Ambiguous Objections may not be considered for evaluation" — and remarks in Hindi, Hinglish or mixed language fall under that filter. The "Language in which Question was answered" dropdown lets you specify which medium you read the question in, but your remarks themselves must be in English.
After the objection window closes on 14 May 2026, HPRCA convenes a panel of subject experts who review every paid objection. The final answer key is typically published within 2–3 weeks (expected late May 2026, tentative). The result is prepared strictly using this final key — no further challenges are accepted at that stage. The Assistant Staff Nurse 2026 result is expected in June 2026. Watch the HPRCA notice board for both notifications.
