The written exam was held on 19 July 2026, and the provisional key was published on 20 July 2026.

PSSSB Answer Key 2026: Key Details
The recruitment is for the post of Veterinary Inspector under the Directorate of Animal Husbandry, Punjab. A total of 310 vacancies are on offer, after the board revised the count upward from the originally notified 150 posts. The answer key PDF covers all 150 objective-type questions, split across four question booklet series: Set A, Set B, Set C, and Set D.
- Notification released: 24 April 2026
- Written exam held: 19 July 2026
- Provisional answer key released: 20 July 2026
The vacancy increase also led PSSSB to reopen the online application window for a short period in June 2026, allowing fresh candidates to apply before the exam was finally conducted in July. This release now lets all those candidates estimate their likely score ahead of the official result.
How To Download The Answer Key And OMR Sheet

- Click the link for the Provisional Answer Key of the Veterinary Inspector exam (Advt No. 10/2026) held on 19 July 2026.
- The answer key PDF will open, showing correct options for Sets A, B, C, and D.
- To check the OMR sheet, log in on the portal with registered credentials and view the scanned response sheet.
- Match responses against the answer key using the same set allotted in the exam hall, since cross-checking with the wrong set gives an inaccurate score estimate.
What The Answer Key Covers
The 150 questions in the key are grouped into three parts: Part A (Questions 1–50), Part B (Questions 51–90), and Part C (Questions 91–150). Each question number is mapped to the correct option separately for every set. This is a provisional key, meaning scores calculated from it are only for self-assessment; the PSSSB Answer Key, issued after objections are reviewed, will determine the actual result.
Objection Window And Next Steps
PSSSB typically opens a short objection window after releasing a provisional key, but the specific dates, process, and fee for this exam have not been announced yet, and candidates should watch the official portal for a separate notice. Similarly, the marking scheme and the final result date are not officially available at this stage. Candidates are advised to keep their registration details handy and check sssb.punjab.gov.in regularly for updates on the objection process and the final key.
