Why this matters
If you appeared for the BHEL Artisan CBT, the provisional response key is the earliest official tool you have to verify your answers, estimate your score, and plan next steps (skill test/document verification). The answer key brings transparency — and a short window to raise objections if you spot any errors. This article walks you step-by-step through downloading the response sheet, calculating marks, contesting answers, and understanding what to expect next.

How to calculate your tentative score
BHEL’s recruitment notifications and multiple exam portals indicate the typical CBT marking pattern used in such recruitments. According to post-exam analyses, each correct answer = +1 mark; wrong answer = -0.25 mark (confirm marking scheme from the official notification or admit card). Use this simple method:
Correct answers × +1 = +X
Wrong answers × 0.25 = -Y
Estimated score = X - Y
Example: 85 correct and 10 wrong → 85 − (10×0.25) = 82.5 marks
How to raise an objection (official process)
Read the provisional key carefully and identify the exact question number and the option you consider correct.
Collect documentary evidence — standard textbooks, notification references, official syllabus citations, or reliable sources supporting your answer.
Log in to your candidate account on careers.bhel.in and access the Objection Management link.
Fill the objection form, attach your evidence, and (if required) pay the nominal challenge fee. (The portal will show if a fee applies.)
Submit before the objection deadline. BHEL will review claims and publish the final answer key after adjudication.
Important: Keep screenshots of your submission and payment receipt (if any). Only objections submitted through the official portal will be considered.
BHEL will prepare results and merit lists based on the final answer key.
Shortlisted candidates may be called for skill tests or document verification (trade-specific).
Final cut-offs will be published on the careers portal.
