UPSSSC Pharmacist Answer Key 2026

UPSSSC Pharmacist Answer Key 2026 — Overview

The UPSSSC (Uttar Pradesh Subordinate Services Selection Commission) has released the answer key for the Pharmacist Main Exam 2026. The written exam was held on 29 June 2026 and the provisional answer key was released on 1 July 2026. This recruitment fills 560 Pharmacist posts in Uttar Pradesh under Advertisement No. 01-Exam/2026. The commission allowed candidates to raise objections against the provisional key only up to 7 July 2026. That window is now closed, and the final answer key and result / merit list are awaited.

What Is an Answer Key and Why It Matters

An answer key is the official list of correct answers for every question in the exam. By comparing your responses with the key, you can get a fair idea of your expected score well before the result is declared. When it releases a provisional key, UPSSSC gives a short window in which candidates can raise an objection (also called a challenge) with proof. The commission reviews every valid objection, corrects the key where needed, and only then prepares the final answer key, result, and merit list. For this exam, that objection window ran up to 7 July 2026 and has now closed.

Vacancy Details

This recruitment has a total of 560 Pharmacist vacancies. The category-wise breakup is given below.

Eligibility (Quick Recap)

To apply for this post, a candidate needed a Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharma) with registration in a State Pharmacy Council, along with a valid UPSSSC PET (Preliminary Eligibility Test) 2025 score card. The age limit was 18 to 40 years, with age relaxation for reserved categories as per Uttar Pradesh government rules. The exam application fee was only ₹25 for all categories, because UPSSSC uses a one-time registration (OTR) system for its exams.

Objection Window (Now Closed)

UPSSSC accepted objections against the provisional Pharmacist answer key only up to 7 July 2026. This window has now closed and no new objections are being accepted. Candidates who filed a valid objection in time do not need to do anything more — the commission will study every challenge, finalise the answer key, and then move to the result stage. As per the usual UPSSSC rules stated in the official notice, the objection fee is refunded only where a challenge is found to be correct.

Selection Process

Selection for the UPSSSC Pharmacist post is based on the main written exam, which candidates could sit only after clearing the UPSSSC PET 2025 and the eligibility check. After the main exam, UPSSSC releases the answer key, invites objections, and then prepares a merit list. Shortlisted candidates are called for document verification. The final selection follows the rules given in the official notification.

What Happens Next?

Now that the objection window has closed, UPSSSC will study all the challenges, finalise the answer key, and calculate the scores. The commission will then declare the result and merit list on its official website.
