The official RSMSSB VDO 2025 Answer Key PDF will be released directly by the Rajasthan Subordinate and Ministerial Services Selection Board (RSMSSB) on its official portal: rsmssb.rajasthan.gov.in.
Following the exam scheduled for November 2, 2025, the board will upload a provisional answer key for all paper sets. You can download this PDF from the “Latest News” or “Answer Key” section to calculate your estimated score.
As an expert who has navigated candidates through the Rajasthan recruitment process for years, I understand that the moments after the VDO (Gram Vikas Adhikari) exam are filled with anticipation. Your immediate goal is to find the answer key and question paper to see how you performed.
However, in my experience, the source of that answer key is the single most important factor. Many candidates lose confidence by checking unofficial keys from coaching centers, which are often rushed and contain errors. Let’s walk through the professional, correct way to get and use the official document.

4. Download Your Paper Set PDF
The RSMSSB will post a link for the Master Question Paper and its corresponding answer key. They may also post separate keys for each paper set (e.g., Set A, B, C, D). You must download the key that matches the question paper code you received in the exam hall.
💡 Expert Insight: Provisional Key vs. Final Key—Why It Matters
Downloading the key is just the first step. As an industry expert, I must emphasize that you will be dealing with two different keys.
The Provisional Answer Key
This is the first key the board releases, usually 3-7 days after the exam. Its purpose is transparency. The board is essentially showing you the answers they think are correct.
The Objection Window
This is the most critical phase for you as a candidate. The RSMSSB will open a “challenge” or “objection” window for 2-5 days. If you find an answer in the provisional key that you are certain is wrong, you can file an objection.
[My Experience: A Real-World Outcome] I’ve seen this in practice. During a recent RSMSSB recruitment, a group of my students identified two ambiguous questions in the provisional key. By filing a formal, well-researched objection with correct textbook proof, the board’s expert panel reviewed the challenge. In the final key, both questions were revised. Those two marks were the deciding factor for several of those candidates making the merit list. Never skip the objection phase if you have a valid claim.
The Final Answer Key
After all objections are reviewed, the board releases the Final Answer Key. Your official result and merit list will be calculated only from this final, revised key.
How to Calculate Your Score and What’s Next
Once you have the official provisional key, your job is to be meticulous.
- Check Your Answers: Compare the key against your OMR sheet copy or the answers you marked.
- Apply Negative Marking: The VDO exam includes negative marking (typically 1/3rd of a mark for each wrong answer). Calculate your score accurately:
(Total Correct Answers * 1) - (Total Incorrect Answers * 0.33). - Analyze and Prepare: Use this data. Did you struggle with Rajasthan GK? Was Hindi or Math weaker? This analysis is vital as you prepare for the next stage: the RSMSSB VDO Mains Exam. The prelims are just the first hurdle.
- File Objections: If you find a clear error, gather your proof (a photo from a government-published textbook or a reliable academic source) and submit your challenge through the official portal.
