Patna High Court Releases Stenographer Answer Key 2026 for December Exam

The provisional answer key, published on 9 January 2026, covers the multiple‑choice objective test component of the stenographer exam conducted across four centres in Patna in three shifts. Candidates can log in using their enrollment, registration number, or date of birth to access and download the key.

What Candidates Must Know
Those who appeared for the written examination—comprising English shorthand and computer typing tests alongside the objective section—are advised to compare their answers with the provisional key to assess their tentative scores. Candidates may also download the question paper PDF alongside the answer key to aid in cross‑verification.

Objection Window and Process
The Patna High Court has opened a window for candidates to challenge entries in the provisional answer key. Objections can be submitted online from 9 January (12:00 p.m.) until 15 January 2026 (11:59 p.m.), subject to payment of a non‑refundable fee of ₹50 per question. Each objection must be backed by authentic source documents or proof for consideration.

Once the objection period closes, the court will review all valid submissions and finalise the answer key. The final answer key will form the basis for evaluating the candidates’ response sheets and generating the official result. No further representations regarding questions or answers will be entertained post‑deadline.

Selection Context and Next Steps
This recruitment drive, conducted under Advertisement No. PHC/02/2025, aims to fill stenographer vacancies in the Patna High Court. The process began with online applications submitted between 21 August and 19 September 2025, followed by the admit card issuance and subsequent written exam in December.

Candidates awaiting results should monitor the Patna High Court’s official portal for updates on the final answer key and the date of the results announcement.
