1. Introduction

If you appeared for the Bihar Vidhan Parishad Driver or Office Attendant Exam 2025, the period after the exam can feel more stressful than the exam day itself. Questions keep replaying in your mind, answers discussed with friends create confusion, and now the answer key is out - bringing both relief and anxiety.

This phase is important, not because it decides your final result directly, but because it gives you control. Used correctly, the answer key helps you assess where you realistically stand and what you should (or should not) do next.

2. Answer Key Overview

The provisional answer key for the Driver and Office Attendant examination has been released by Bihar Vidhan Parishad on 03 January 2026.

  • Exam conducted: 21 December 2025
  • Nature of key: Provisional (open for challenge, if applicable)
  • Access mode: Online login only through the official recruitment portal
  • Credentials required: Registration / Enrollment Number or Date of Birth

At this stage, the answer key is meant for self-evaluation, not final judgment.

3. How to Check and Use the Answer Key Properly

Many candidates rush through this step and end up more confused. Take a calm, methodical approach.

Correct way to use the answer key:

  1. Download your question paper set and the matching answer key.
  2. Check answers once carefully, without changing your memory repeatedly.
  3. Mark:
    • Correct answers ✔️
    • Incorrect answers ✖️
    • Attempted but doubtful answers ❓

Common mistakes to avoid:

  • Checking answers in groups or on social media before self-checking
  • Ignoring negative marking while calculating score
  • Assuming the answer key is 100% final (it is not)

4. How to Calculate Expected Score

Before calculating, confirm the marking scheme from the official notification. If the marking scheme is not clearly mentioned, consider it not available yet and calculate cautiously.

General approach (example only):

  • +1 mark for each correct answer
  • -0.25 or -0.33 for each wrong answer (if negative marking applies)
  • No marks for unattempted questions

⚠️ Remember: Raw score ≠ Final merit score Normalization, reservation category, and post-wise competition all play a role later.

5. Cut-Off Expectations: A Reality Check

Cut-offs are not announced with the answer key, and guessing them early often creates unnecessary panic.

Factors that affect cut-off:

  • Total number of vacancies (only 24 posts in this recruitment)
  • Difficulty level of the paper
  • Number of candidates actually appearing
  • Category-wise distribution
  • Post-wise demand (Driver vs Office Attendant)

Even if your score looks “safe” or “low” today, do not draw final conclusions yet.

6. Objection Process - Who Should Raise It & Who Shouldn’t

The provisional answer key exists to correct genuine errors, not borderline doubts.

You should raise an objection if:

  • The official answer is factually incorrect
  • You have clear documentary proof (standard textbook, official source)
  • The question itself is wrong or ambiguous

You should NOT raise an objection if:

  • Your answer differs due to guesswork
  • You rely on coaching notes or memory-based solutions
  • The cost of objection is more than the realistic benefit

💡 Objections without solid proof usually get rejected and only waste money.

7. What to Do After the Answer Key

If your score is high:

  • Start preparing for next stages (Driving Test for Driver post)
  • Keep documents ready (10th certificate, driving license, caste certificate)

If your score is borderline:

  • Wait patiently for the final answer key
  • Avoid emotional decisions based on unofficial cut-offs

If your score is low:

  • Accept the outcome calmly
  • Analyse where preparation fell short
  • Channel energy into upcoming state-level or similar qualification exams

8. Timeline Ahead - What Comes Next

Based on standard recruitment patterns, the expected sequence is:

  1. Objection window (if notified)
  2. Final Answer Key (after reviewing objections)
  3. Written Exam Result
  4. Skill Test / Driving Test (Driver only)
  5. Document Verification
  6. Medical Examination

👉 Exact dates for the above steps are not available yet. Candidates should monitor the official website only.

9. Pros & Cons of the Answer Key Phase

Pros:

  • Transparency in evaluation
  • Early self-assessment
  • Chance to correct genuine errors

Cons:

  • Over-analysis and stress
  • Social media misinformation
  • Premature assumptions about selection

Patience is as important as preparation at this stage.

10. Candidate Checklist

✔ Registration / Enrollment details ✔ Saved copy of response sheet & answer key ✔ Proof documents (for objection, if any) ✔ Awareness of objection deadline ✔ Avoid unofficial links and WhatsApp forwards

11. Conclusion

The release of the answer key is not the end of the journey, and certainly not a verdict on your capability. It is simply a checkpoint - meant to inform, not intimidate.

Stay grounded, rely only on official information, and make decisions based on clarity, not anxiety. Government exams reward consistency and emotional balance as much as knowledge.
