The Life Insurance Corporation conducted the AAO Prelims Exam 2025 on October 3 across four shifts, each lasting one hour. The exam featured 100 objective-type questions worth 70 marks, divided into three sections: Reasoning Ability, Quantitative Aptitude, and English Language. The result is expected by the second or third week of October. The official answer key will reportedly be released online on October 10, allowing candidates to estimate their scores. Coaching institutes will also release unofficial answer keys soon after the exam. Candidates can raise objections through the official website if they disagree with the answer key by logging in with their credentials, uploading supporting documents, and paying the required fee. The English Language section serves as a qualifying test, and its marks will not count toward the final ranking.
