Why the WB Police SI Revised Answer Key is Important
The release of the revised answer key is a standard, yet critical, procedure in the recruitment cycle, especially after a competitive exam. The initial provisional answer key, released on October 16, 2025, prompted several candidates to raise concerns about certain questions or answers.
The WBPRB thoroughly reviewed all the challenges submitted via email (to answerkeywbprb10@gmail.com) within the 7-day objection window. The revised answer key reflects the final, corrected official answers after subject experts have evaluated the valid objections, considering any printing mistakes or factual incongruities. The final merit list for the Preliminary Examination will be prepared solely based on this revised key.
