Release CSE-Prelims answer key immediately after exam: Parl panel to UPSC

A Parliamentary Committee on Thursday suggested release of answer key by the UPSC immediately after the civil services preliminary examination to enhance credibility, fairness and candidate's confidence. The civil services examination is conducted annually by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in three stages -- prelims, mains and interview -- to select officers of the Indian Foreign Service (IFS), Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) among others. The Commission informed the panel that it publishes the preliminary examination answer key only after completing the entire selection process. "This delays candidates' ability to challenge potential errors before advancing to the next stage, undermining transparency and fairness. Such a practice can demoralise candidates and raise concerns about the validity of the examination," said the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances, Law and Justice in its 145th
