MPESB Hospital Assistant Answer Key 2026 (Out): Objection Link, Last Date 13 July and Response Sheet Download

Lokesh Rathore 📅 Published: 12 Jul 2026 ⏱ 6 min read

If you appeared in the MPESB Hospital Assistant exam, here is the news you are waiting for. The MP Employees Selection Board (MPESB) has released the provisional answer key and candidate response sheet for the Hospital Assistant Recruitment Test 2026, and the online objection (question challenge) link is now live. The objection window is open from 10 July 2026 to 13 July 2026, so if you want to challenge any answer, you must do it before 13 July. Raising an objection costs Rs 150 per question plus portal charges.

Two things matter most right now. First, the objection window closes on 13 July 2026, so download your response sheet, match it against the provisional key, and raise any genuine objection before the deadline. Second, this is only the provisional key. After reviewing all objections, MPESB will release a final answer key, and the result will be prepared on the basis of that final key. This guide explains the key dates, how to download your response sheet and the answer key, how to raise an objection, the exam pattern, and what happens next.

MPESB Hospital Assistant answer key 2026: key dates#

The provisional answer key with the candidate response sheet is out, and the objection link is open on the official MPESB CBT portal. The table below sums up the important information.

How to download the Hospital Assistant response sheet and answer key#

MPESB puts the model (provisional) answer key and your own response sheet on its exam portal, where you sign in with your exam credentials. Follow these steps.

1. Go to the official MPESB website esb.mp.gov.in.
2. On the Latest Updates or home page, open the link that says "Online Question / Answer Objection Link - Hospital Assistant Recruitment Test 2026".
3. This opens the MPESB CBT exam portal for Hospital Assistant RT 2026.
4. Log in with your credentials, which include your application number and TAC code along with your date of birth.
5. Once logged in, you can view and download your question paper with your marked responses (response sheet) and the provisional answer key.
6. Match your marked answers against the answer key to get an idea of your score.

Keep your application number and date of birth ready before you start, and download or save a copy of your response sheet for your own record.

How to raise an objection (question challenge)#

If you believe any answer in the provisional key is wrong, you can challenge it online during the objection window. Here is what you need to know.

• Objection window: 10 July 2026 to 13 July 2026. No objection is accepted after the last date.
• Fee: Rs 150 per question (plus applicable portal charges). You pay this fee for each question you challenge.
• How: Log in to the same MPESB objection link, select the question you want to challenge, submit your reason, attach supporting proof if asked, and pay the fee online.
• Review: A subject-expert committee examines every objection. If your objection is found correct, the answer is revised in the final key for all candidates.
• Only online objections through the official portal are considered. MPESB does not accept objections sent on paper or by any other route.

Raise an objection only when you are reasonably sure and can back it with a proper source, because the fee is charged per question. A well-supported objection that is upheld benefits every candidate through the final key.

Hospital Assistant exam pattern (quick recap)#

It helps to read the answer key with the exam pattern in mind. The Hospital Assistant written exam was a single computer-based paper as summarised below, taken from the official MPESB rule book.

Because the exam has negative marking of 0.25 per wrong answer, keep this in mind when you estimate your score from the response sheet: subtract a quarter mark for each wrong answer, not just count your correct ones.

What happens after the answer key#

The key that is out now is the provisional (model) answer key. The process from here is straightforward:

• Candidates raise objections against any doubtful answers during the 10 to 13 July window.
• A subject-expert committee reviews all objections and finalises the correct answers.
• MPESB then releases the final answer key.
• The result and merit list are prepared on the basis of that final key. Since this exam is held in two shifts, MPESB uses a normalisation method to fairly compare scores across shifts.

MPESB has not announced a result date yet, so treat any date you see on other websites as unofficial until the board confirms it. For the exam and post details, see our guide on the MPESB Hospital Assistant Admit Card 2026.

If you need help with the portal, MPESB has given a help-desk number 8448892364 and 8448892437 (working hours 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM).
