Overview

• Released on September 22, the provisional key is available to candidates through their user ID and password on the MHA portal.
• The download includes a PDF mapping Question IDs to Correct Option IDs, alongside individual response sheets for cross-checking.
• Objections must be filed online by selecting the relevant question, uploading supporting evidence, and paying the prescribed fee, with late or unsubstantiated submissions rejected.
• The portal accepts objections only in English and allows up to three supporting files per item (PDF/JPG/JPEG, max 400 KB each), and submissions cannot be edited once sent.
• A panel of experts will review challenges before issuing the final key that will determine Phase-1 scores, after which qualifiers proceed to the descriptive test and interview.
