The Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) has officially released the Final Answer Key for the combined recruitment examination conducted for various posts including Special Branch Assistant, Excise Inspector, Sub Inspector of Police, Assistant, and Junior positions. This release follows the successful completion of the written test held on June 6, 2026, under Question Paper Code 054-2026. The commission has made these final keys available in Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam mediums to accommodate candidates who appeared for the exam in different language versions. The publication of this final key is a critical step in the recruitment cycle, as it provides the definitive set of correct answers against which candidate OMR sheets will be evaluated. By incorporating expert reviews and addressing objections raised against the earlier provisional version, the KPSC ensures transparency and accuracy in the final scoring process. Candidates are advised to download the specific PDF corresponding to their question paper medium and alpha code to verify their performance. This document serves as the final reference point for calculating scores, and no further objections will be entertained by the commission regarding these answers. The release of this key marks the transition toward the preparation of the short list or rank list for the respective categories.

The selection process for these Kerala PSC posts involves a multi-stage evaluation starting with a written OMR-based examination. The exam tests candidates on various subjects relevant to the specific roles, with the final answer key serving as the primary tool for evaluating OMR sheets. Following the written test, the commission prepares a short list or rank list based on the final scores derived from this answer key. Candidates who qualify based on the cut-off marks are then invited for subsequent stages, which may include physical efficiency tests, document verification, or interviews depending on the specific requirements of the post. The final selection is based on the cumulative performance across these stages.

The examination was conducted as an OMR-based test consisting of 100 questions. The question paper was provided in four versions (Alpha Codes A, B, C, and D) to ensure fair testing. Each question carries a specific weightage, and the final answer key provides the correct option for each question number across all four alpha codes. Questions found to be ambiguous or incorrect during the objection phase have been marked with an 'X' in the final key, indicating they are excluded from the final evaluation process.
