Overview of Kerala PSC Answer Script Rechecking and Photocopies
The Kerala Public Service Commission has outlined the official procedure for candidates who wish to apply for the rechecking of their answer scripts or obtain a photocopy of their OMR answer sheets. While revaluation of answer scripts is strictly prohibited under the existing rules, candidates are provided an option to get their answer scripts rechecked under specific guidelines laid down by the Commission.
Important Guidelines for Rechecking
Candidates who wish to get their answer scripts rechecked must apply exclusively through their One Time Registration profile on the official website of the Kerala Public Service Commission. Applications sent through any other medium such as email, post, or in person will not be accepted or considered by the Commission. Candidates are allowed only one chance for rechecking after the approval of the Ranked List. Furthermore, answer scripts that were invalidated due to various defects are not eligible for rechecking. The prescribed fee for this process must be paid via the e-payment mode available on the portal, and the fee once remitted will not be refunded under any circumstances.
Procedure for Obtaining Photocopies of OMR Sheets
Candidates who want to obtain a photocopy of their OMR Answer Sheets (Part A and Part B) for the selection must also submit an online application through their One Time Registration profile on the official website. A prescribed fee is required for obtaining the photocopy, payable through the e-payment mode on the portal. A copy of the answer sheet will be issued to a candidate only once. Similar to rechecking, copies of OMR answer sheets that were invalidated due to any defect will not be issued, and alternative submission methods like email, post, or in person are not valid.
