OPSC AAO Final Answer Key 2026 Released: PDF, Cut Off Marks, Marks Link

Latest official status of the OPSC AAO final answer key

OPSC has placed the Assistant Agriculture Officer final answer key notice in the official "What's New" section for Advt. No. 06 of 2025-26. The notice entry specifically mentions three things together: cut off marks for document verification, highest and lowest marks of finally selected candidates, and the final answer keys of Paper-I and Paper-II.

This is important because many users still search using older provisional-key links. At this stage, the final answer key is the controlling version. If your earlier estimate was based on the provisional key, you should re-check it using the final PDF instead.

Important timeline for the answer key and objection process

This sequence matters because the objection facility applied only during the provisional-answer-key stage. Once the final answer key was published, that challenge window effectively closed.

How to download the OPSC AAO final answer key PDF

1. Visit the official OPSC website.
2. Open the "What's New" section on the homepage.
3. Find the entry for Assistant Agriculture Officer (Advt. No. 06 of 2025-26).
4. Open the notice mentioning Cut Off Marks and Final Answer Key of Written Examination.
5. Download the PDF and check Paper-I and Paper-II carefully.
6. Match the series and question mapping correctly before drawing any conclusion from the answer key.

Do not depend on memory or on the provisional key once the final key is available. The final PDF is the document that should be used for any last verification.

Response sheet, marks link and objection status

Many candidates search for three things together: the final answer key, a response sheet, and the objection link. On the official OPSC notice entry, what is clearly available is the final answer key notice and a View Your Marks link that remains active till 20 May 2026.

A separate public response-sheet PDF is not clearly listed on the same notice entry. So, in practical terms, candidates should rely on the final answer key PDF for question-wise checking and use the individual marks link where available on the official portal.

As for objections, that stage is already over. OPSC had accepted objections only against the provisional answer keys, through the online module, up to 12 noon on 2 March 2026. No fresh objection route is available once the final key has been published.

Official OPSC AAO cut off marks released with the final key

The final notice also publishes the cut off marks for document verification, described as the marks of the last selected candidate.

If you are comparing your standing with the official shortlist, this table is more useful than guesswork based only on coaching-site estimates.

What the final answer key PDF contains

The final PDF provides the paper-wise distribution of questions across different series and the corresponding final answers. It covers the written examination for Assistant Agriculture Officer held on 19 February 2026.

One useful detail is that the final key shows that some questions can carry more than one acceptable option in the final version. That means candidates should read the final PDF exactly as published and not assume every question has only one accepted option based on earlier informal discussions.

This is precisely why the final answer key matters: it reflects the commission's decision after reviewing valid objections received during the provisional-answer-key stage.

How to use the final key now without making common mistakes

• Use the final answer key only, not the provisional one.
• Check the correct paper and series mapping before comparing answers.
• Do not assume the objection window is still open.
• Use the marks-view link on the official site within the allowed period.
• If your estimate from February or March was based on older answers, revise it using the final PDF.

The most common mistake at this stage is mixing provisional answers, unofficial keys, and the final key. Keep your comparison limited to the final OPSC document.

Recruitment snapshot behind this answer key update

This answer key relates to the OPSC recruitment for 118 Assistant Agriculture Officer posts under the Department of Agriculture & Farmers' Empowerment, Government of Odisha. The post belongs to the Odisha Agriculture and Food Production Service.

The prescribed educational qualification in the recruitment notice was a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture or Bachelor's Degree in Horticulture from a recognized university or institution. The selection process was based on a written examination in MCQ pattern followed by a personality test.

This background matters because users often land on the answer-key page while also needing quick eligibility or recruitment context. The final key is only one stage in the larger selection process.

What candidates should do next

If you are still checking this recruitment, your next step is not to look for a fresh objection form. Instead, download the final key, note the official cut off figures, and use the official marks link before it closes.

The April notice is also useful for candidates who want a clearer picture of the final outcome, because it combines the final answer key with cut off data and marks-related access. If you are looking for a separate response sheet and cannot find one on the notice entry, focus first on the final PDF and the login-based marks option on the OPSC portal.
