A question marked Deleted has no answer in the final key. Compare your own answer sheet with the key and see the PDF for the explanation of every changed question.

|---|---|---|
| General Studies | 5, 26, 72, 82, 94 | 5 |
| Law | 55, 97 | 2 |
The General Studies explanations give the reasons: Q.5 (all options false on the 2011 census), Q.26 (the author named is not in the options), Q.72 (none of the options describes the function of Sphaerosomes), Q.82 (the question asks for Padma Bhushan but all options list Padma Shri awardees) and Q.94 (the scheme name in the question does not exist). In Law, the explanation for Q.55 calls the question defective because no option correctly matches Section 285 of the BNS, 2023. The Law key also shows Q.97 as Deleted.
What Should BPSC Prosecution Officer 2026 Candidates Do After the Final Answer Key?
- Download the Series-M key for both papers and match it with your answers.
- Remember that the preliminary exam is a screening test only and its marks are not added to the final merit, as per the advertisement.
- The advertisement says candidates equal to 10 times the notified vacancies, category-wise, are called for the Mains, and that prelims-qualified candidates have to submit a separate online application for the Mains.
- Keep checking the official website for the result and Mains dates, because the answer-key notice does not state them.
