Why This Answer Key Matters So Much
Many of our students ask the same question every year: “Sir, provisional key aur final key mein kya farak hai?”
Here is the simple answer:
- Provisional key is the first draft. Mistakes are possible.
- Objection window is your chance to challenge a wrong answer.
- Revised final key is what the department actually uses for marking.
So if you calculated your score using the provisional key, please calculate it again. Your marks may go up — especially because of the deleted questions and the multi-option answers.
Deleted Questions – Free Marks for Everyone
Some questions have been marked DELETED. Nobody loses marks for these. Usually full marks are granted to all candidates who attempted the paper.
Here is the series-wise deleted list:
- Series A: Q16, Q27
- Series B: Q2, Q91
- Series C: Q66, Q77
- Series D: Q56, Q67
Questions With Multiple Correct Answers
These questions accept more than one option. If you marked any one of them, you get the mark.
- Series A: Q6 (A/C), Q18 (A/B/C/D)
- Series B: Q81 (A/C), Q93 (A/B/C/D)
- Series C: Q56 (A/C), Q68 (A/B/C/D)
- Series D: Q46 (A/C), Q58 (A/B/C/D)
Count these carefully. Two or three extra marks decide selection in departmental exams.

How to Calculate Your Score – Step by Step
- Take out your OMR carbon copy or the response sheet you saved.
- Check your series letter first. Do not mix up Series A with Series B.
- Match each answer with the table above.
- Add 1 mark for every correct answer.
- Add full marks for the deleted questions in your series.
- For multi-option questions, any one of the listed options is correct.
- Compare your total with last year’s cut-off to get a rough idea.
Small tip from experience: recheck your total twice. Candidates often miscount by two or three marks and panic for no reason.
What Happens Next?
- The PA SA result will be published by the Tamil Nadu Circle after final marking.
- Selection is based on merit and the number of vacancies in each division.
- Document verification follows the result.
- Keep your service records, GDS/MTS/Postman engagement papers, and ID proof ready.
Keep checking the India Post Tamil Nadu Circle official website and your divisional office notice board for the MTS to PA Result and Postman to PA Result updates.
