• Fee: You have to pay Rs. 100/- for every question you challenge.
• Where to Apply: You must log in to your SSO ID to file the objection.
• Time Limit: The link will be active only from December 6 to December 8, 2025. After this, the link will disappear.
• Proof Required: You cannot just say an answer is wrong. You must upload proof. The board accepts proof only from standard books like RBSE or NCERT text books (Class 6 to 10).

Cut-Off Marks: This Year vs Previous Years

The cut-off mark is the minimum score you need to pass. This year, the exam was for 200 Marks. The cut-off will be decided based on 200 marks.

Expected Cut-Off 2025 

Comparison with Past Years

In the past, exams for Class IV jobs had very high cut-offs. Sometimes, it went up to 75%. This is because many people apply for these jobs, even those with higher degrees. However, this year there is a Negative Marking of 1/3. This means marks will be cut for wrong answers. Because of this, the cut-off might be slightly lower than before.

What is Next After the Result

1. Final Answer Key: The board will check all objections. If they find errors, they will correct them and release a Final Answer Key.
2. Result Declaration: The board will announce the result based on the final key. We expect this in January or February 2026.
3. Document Verification (DV): If you pass the written test, you will be called for Document Verification. Usually, they call 2 times the number of vacancies. You must show your 10th class mark sheet, caste certificate, and residence proof.
4. Final Merit List: After checking documents, a final list will be made. If your name is on this list, you will get the job.
