Official Kerala PSC previous question papers and answer keys
Kerala PSC publishes its own past question papers and answer keys on its website and through candidates’ profiles. After each OMR examination it publishes the question paper in A code together with provisional answer keys for the other versions, later replaced by a final key. Because unofficial "solved paper" collections carry errors that nobody corrects, the Commission’s own files are the ones worth working from.
Steps
Start from the Commission’s own pages
Papers and keys are published on keralapsc.gov.in — the OMR and online answer-key listings carry the paper beside its key. We mirror the same records in a readable index at /question-papers and /answer-keys.
Understand the A-code convention
The Commission publishes its question paper in A code and provisional answer keys of all other versions of the paper. The alpha codes are different orderings of the same paper, which is why only the A-code version is published in full.
Use the final key, not the provisional one
The provisional key is the one open to complaints for five days. The final key is what the Commission settled on after considering valid complaints, and it is the one to score yourself against.
Pair a paper with its syllabus
A past paper tells you what was asked; the Commission’s detailed syllabus tells you what may be asked. Our syllabus pages carry the official module-level mark distribution for each exam.
Be careful with unofficial collections
Third-party "solved papers" reproduce keys by hand and rarely track the final key after objections are settled. If a claimed answer differs from the Commission’s final key, the Commission is right.
