Wrote the Food Safety Officer exam in Tripura on 4 October? Your answer key is out, so you can finally see how the paper went. It is a provisional key, and that word matters, as we explain below.
The key does not show a last date for raising a challenge. So please spend a little time on this today. You will find other keys on our Answer Key page.

How to Download the Key
The link is in the table below. It opens one PDF with all four series inside. Please save it first, because scanned files are easier to zoom into after downloading.
There is also a Dental Officer key on the same page, with a similar look. Please check that your file says Food Safety Officer at the top.
Finding Your Page
Each page has “Test Booklet Series” printed at the top. Find your letter, and use only that page. Answers on other pages follow a different order, so they will give you a wrong count.
Your Simple Counting Plan
- Write your answers down, if you remember them.
- Compare them with the key, one by one.
- Put a tick against each match.
- Add up the ticks.
Please do this only once, carefully. Checking again and again usually adds stress and not much else.
What Your Count Can and Cannot Tell You
Your count shows how many answers match. It cannot tell you your final marks, because the key does not explain the marking system. Please look at your advertisement for that. Even then, the answers may still change, so please treat your number as a guide.
Should You Challenge an Answer?
Ask yourself two questions first. Are you really sure the answer is wrong? And can you prove it from a good book? If the answer to both is yes, a challenge may be worth it.
TPSC’s system works online, and it is called OCMS. It charges what it calls a “conditional fee”, and letters on paper will not be accepted. We could not find the amount or the last date for this exam, so please check the commission’s website.
Our tip is to prepare your proof before you open the portal. Write down the book’s name, its edition and the page number.
What Should You Keep Ready?
Whatever your count is, a little preparation helps:
- Your admit card and application number
- Your degree certificates
- A saved copy of this key
We could not confirm the exact documents for later stages. This list is just our general advice.
What Comes Next?
No date is shown yet for the final key or result. Please check the What’s New section on the TPSC website every few days, as updates appear there first.
If the wait feels long, it can help to keep studying related subjects. Food safety knowledge can also be useful for other exams you may be planning.
