The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has officially published the final answer keys for the Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE) 2026. This release covers both Paper 1 and Paper 2, providing candidates with the definitive set of correct responses to evaluate their performance. The commission has meticulously reviewed all objections raised by candidates following the release of the provisional keys, resulting in this final version. Candidates are advised to download the official PDF documents to verify their responses against the finalized keys. The answer keys are organized by roll number ranges, ensuring clarity for all participants. Furthermore, the commission has identified specific questions that have been cancelled, which are clearly marked with a hash symbol (#) in the documents. These cancelled questions will be excluded from the final evaluation process to maintain fairness. Candidates should use these final keys to calculate their expected scores accurately, keeping in mind the official marking scheme and the exclusion of voided questions.

The selection process for the MPSC LDCE involves a competitive written examination consisting of two papers. Candidates are evaluated based on their performance in these papers, which test their professional knowledge and departmental expertise. Following the examination, the commission releases provisional answer keys to allow candidates to raise objections. After a thorough review of these objections by subject matter experts, the final answer keys are published. The final merit list is prepared based on the marks obtained in the written examination, excluding any cancelled questions. Candidates must meet the qualifying criteria set by the commission to be considered for further stages of the selection process.
