MPSC Assistant Professor and Lecturer Geography Final Answer Key 2026 Out

The Maharashtra Public Service Commission (MPSC) has officially published the final answer key for the combined computer-based screening test held for specialized geography teaching posts. Candidates who participated in the examination on 27/07/2026 can now download the final reference document from the official portal at mpsc.gov.in to evaluate their probable scores ahead of the upcoming result declaration.

This specific recruitment drive covers two distinct positions within the Maharashtra Education Service: Assistant Professor (Geography), Group-A under Advt. No. 114/2023, and Lecturer (Geography), Group-B (Collegiate Branch) under Advt. No. 115/2023. Because both positions required the same subject expertise and followed identical examination patterns, the MPSC administered a single, joint screening test and has subsequently issued one unified answer key.

Final Answer Key Details and Cancelled Question

The newly issued final key, dated 13/08/2026, officially replaces the provisional version published earlier. Following the initial release, the MPSC allowed test-takers to submit authenticated online clarifications regarding specific disputed questions. The commission comprehensively reviewed these candidate representations alongside subject expert opinions to revise and finalize the answers.

The MPSC has clearly mandated that this finalized version is absolutely conclusive for all evaluations. No further correspondence or objections regarding the final answer key will be entertained by the commission.

Notably, one specific item—Master Question Number 64 (Question ID 464662364)—has been officially cancelled. This particular question is clearly denoted by a “#” symbol in the official key and will not be counted during score calculation.
