A viral notice on social media claims UPSC will now release provisional answer keys after Civil Services Prelims exam. The notice states this decision follows a Supreme Court petition. However, UPSC has not officially announced any change to its policy. UPSC Chairman Dr. Ajay Kumar recently explained why answer keys are released only after results. The viral post's authenticity is doubtful. UPSC's current process for releasing answer keys remains unchanged.
