CGPSC State Engineering Service Answer Key 2026 (Chhattisgarh)

The Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission (CGPSC) released the Amended/Final Model Answer for the State Engineering Service Exam 2026 (Rajya Abhiyantriki Seva Pariksha-2026) on 2 September 2026, under Press Release No. 201/08/2026/P.GO. This update covers recruitment to 46 Assistant Engineer (Sahayak Abhiyanta) posts, advertised under Advt No. 02/2026/Pariksha dated 08.05.2026, and follows a formal review of objections candidates raised against the provisional model answer released last month. The written exam was conducted on 16 August 2026 across 23 exam centres in 5 districts of Chhattisgarh, consisting of two papers: Paper 1 (General Studies) and Paper 2 (Engineering, with separate question sets for Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering candidates), each run across four question booklet sets — A, B, C, and D. CGPSC has confirmed that OMR answer sheet evaluation will now proceed strictly as per this amended/final model answer, superseding the provisional version released on 19 August 2026 — candidates should discard any notes or self-assessments made against the earlier provisional key. The objection window against the provisional key closed on 31 August 2026, and no further objection window is mentioned in this press release — this amended/final key is the last word on the correct answers for this exam. Candidates should carefully match their own question booklet set (A/B/C/D) and paper (General Studies or their specific engineering branch) before checking their answers, since separate PDF files apply to different combinations. The State Engineering Service Exam is CGPSC's dedicated recruitment channel for Assistant Engineer posts across Chhattisgarh's state government engineering departments, run separately from the Commission's broader State Service Exam that covers administrative and other non-technical posts. An amended or final model answer, as opposed to a provisional one, means CGPSC's subject-matter experts have already reviewed every objection raised by candidates and made any necessary corrections — so the version released on 2 September 2026 is the one that will be used to compute each candidate's final score, not merely a revised draft open to further challenge. Since this is a Model Answer release rather than a Result, candidates should expect the written exam result itself to follow separately once evaluation against this amended/final key is complete, typically taking several weeks depending on the volume of answer sheets to be processed. Candidates preparing to estimate their own likely score should cross-check every response against the correct booklet set carefully, since a mismatch between booklet set and answer PDF is one of the most common self-scoring errors reported after CGPSC releases a model answer.
