• Challenge only questions with a clear error.
• Check the correct question number.
• Provide a short and clear explanation.
• Use trustworthy supporting material.
• Complete the payment before submission.
• Save proof of the submitted objection.
• Do not submit the same challenge repeatedly.

Submitting an objection does not guarantee a change. BSNL will review the challenge before preparing the final answer key.

The BSNL Senior Executive Trainee examination contained 200 objective questions. Candidates received 180 minutes to complete the paper.

Response Type	Marks
Correct answer	+1 mark
Incorrect answer	−0.25 mark
Unanswered question	0 marks

Part I contained 40 aptitude questions. Part II contained 160 questions from the candidate’s Telecom or Finance stream.

Use the following formula:

Expected score = Correct answers − (Incorrect answers × 0.25)

Suppose a candidate has:

• 150 correct answers
• 30 incorrect answers
• 20 unanswered questions

The score calculation will be:

150 − (30 × 0.25) = 142.5 marks

This is only an estimated score. The actual score may change after BSNL reviews the objections.

BSNL has set separate minimum qualifying marks for different categories.

General Category

General candidates must score:

• At least 40% in Part I
• At least 40% in Part II
• At least 50% overall

Reserved Categories

SC, ST, OBC, PwBD, and EWS candidates must score:

• At least 35% in Part I
• At least 35% in Part II
• At least 45% overall

Candidates must qualify in both sections. Scoring the overall percentage alone may not be enough.

Remember: Minimum qualifying marks are not the final cutoff. The cutoff may depend on vacancies, category, and candidate performance.

BSNL has not yet announced the official SET cut-off marks. The final cut-off is expected with or after the examination result.

Candidates should not depend on unofficial cut-off claims. They should calculate their score and wait for the official notice.

A higher score may improve selection chances. However, selection will depend on the final merit list and eligibility checks.

BSNL will examine the objections submitted by candidates. Valid challenges may lead to changes in the final answer key.

The result will be prepared using the final answers. Qualified candidates may then be included in the merit list.

Candidates selected through the merit list will be called for document verification. Final appointment will also depend on eligibility and the required medical examination.

The BSNL SET Result 2026 date has not been announced yet. Candidates should regularly check the official BSNL recruitment section.

The result may include roll numbers or names of shortlisted candidates. BSNL may also publish category-wise cut-off marks and further instructions.

Keep your application form, admit card, response sheet, and objection receipt safe. These records may be useful during later stages.

Download your response sheet before the portal closes. Do not rely only on screenshots shared by other candidates.

Calculate your score using the official marking scheme. Recheck the number of correct and incorrect answers.

Raise an objection only when you have strong supporting evidence. Submit it early to avoid payment or login problems.

Keep checking official updates about the final key, result, merit list, and document verification.
