Please read this before assuming the window is closed. The dates above are the official position in BSF Notice-3 dated 3 November 2026, which this article is written from. One job portal reports that BSF later extended the objection last date to 9 November 2026, 11:55 PM — but the extension notice could not be verified on the BSF website when this article was written, and no other source confirms it. If you missed 6 November, check the portal on rectt.bsf.gov.in right away instead of treating the window as closed. Do not rely on the reported extension until BSF confirms it on its own website.
How to Download the BSF HC RO RM Answer Key and Response Sheet
- Open the official BSF recruitment portal, rectt.bsf.gov.in.
- Open the link for the HC (RO) and HC (RM) Objection Management Portal / answer key login.
- Log in with your registered credentials — the same registration ID and password used for the CBT admit card.
- Your individual response sheet will open, showing the answers you submitted in the CBT alongside the provisional answer key.
- Compare every answer with the key, question by question, and note the question numbers where you disagree.
- Download or save the response sheet and the answer key PDF for your record before the portal closes.
Keep your login details ready. The response sheet is personal to each candidate — there is no common answer key PDF with every candidate’s responses in it. If the portal shows an error, check your credentials first, then try again; the portal was live from 4 November 2026, 10:00 AM.
How to Raise an Objection on the BSF HC RO RM Answer Key 2026
- Log into the Objection Management Portal on rectt.bsf.gov.in with your registered credentials.
- Open the Online Response Link inside the portal — this is the only channel for objections.
- Select the question you want to challenge and state clearly whether you object to the question itself or to the answer given in the key.
- Attach documentary evidence that supports your objection, such as the relevant page of a standard textbook or an official reference.
- Submit the objection before 6 November 2026, 11:55 PM, and keep the acknowledgement or screenshot of the submission.
Objection fee. Notice-3 mentions no fee for raising objections, so no fee amount is stated in this article. Do not pay anyone who asks for money to file an objection for you.
Rules that decide whether your objection counts. An objection sent by post, email, or any other channel will not be entertained under any circumstances — only the Online Response Link counts. If no objection reaches BSF within the stipulated period, the candidate loses any right to claim re-evaluation later, even in a court of law. Subject experts appointed by BSF re-examine every objection received in time before the final key is prepared.
BSF HC RO RM Marks Calculator – How to Calculate Your Score
The CBT had 100 questions for 200 marks, so each correct answer carries 2 marks and each wrong answer costs 0.25 mark. Your estimated score is: (number of correct answers × 2) − (number of wrong answers × 0.25). Unattempted questions carry no marks and no penalty.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Total questions | 100 MCQs |
| Total marks | 200 |
| Marks per correct answer | +2 marks |
| Negative marking | −0.25 mark per wrong answer |
| Duration | 2 hours |
| Qualifying marks – General / OBC / EWS | 38% |
| Qualifying marks – SC / ST | 33% |
| Qualifying marks – CA candidates | 20% |
Subject-wise split. Physics had 40 questions (80 marks), Mathematics 20 questions (40 marks), Chemistry 20 questions (40 marks), and English and GK 20 questions (40 marks). Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics were of 10+2 / Intermediate level, and the GK part covered current affairs, history, geography and general science. Work out your score subject by subject — it shows exactly which section cost you marks.
What Happens After the BSF HC RO RM Answer Key 2026
Final answer key. After the objection window closes, subject experts re-examine all objections received in time and BSF prepares the final answer key. The final key decides the CBT result — the provisional key can change where an objection is accepted.
CBT result. BSF has not announced a date for the final answer key or the CBT result. Both will be published only on the BSF website, so keep checking rectt.bsf.gov.in rather than trusting dates on unofficial pages.
Next stage. Candidates up to six times the number of vacancies are shortlisted for the next stage, with a separate merit list for HC (RO) and HC (RM). For HC (RO) candidates, the next stage includes a Dictation Test and Paragraph Reading Test of 50 marks. Document Verification and Medical Examination follow for shortlisted candidates.
