The State Health Society, Bihar (SHSB) has taken a significant step towards transparency in its ongoing recruitment drive for Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) positions. The organisation has officially published the provisional answer key for the computer-based examination conducted over several days in December. This move allows thousands of candidates who appeared for the test to verify their responses and calculate their probable scores well ahead of the final result declaration.
Accessing and Downloading the Provisional Answer Key
The Bihar ANM answer key 2025 is available exclusively on the official SHSB portal: shs.bihar.gov.in. Authorities have clarified that no hard copies will be distributed, and candidates are strongly advised against using any third-party websites to download the key to avoid misinformation. The process to access the document is straightforward. Aspirants need to visit the homepage, locate the link for 'Bihar ANM recruitment 2025' or 'Bihar ANM answer key 2025', and click on it. They must then log in using their application number or registered ID and password. The answer key will be displayed in PDF format, which candidates should download and save for careful review and future reference.
By matching their recorded responses with the answers provided in the official key, candidates can get an early and approximate idea of their performance. SHSB has stated that this step of releasing a provisional key is a measure to ensure the highest level of transparency in the recruitment process.
Window to Challenge the Answer Key Closes on December 28
Recognising that there might be discrepancies, SHSB has also opened a crucial window for candidates to raise objections against the provisional answer key. The deadline to submit any challenge is December 28, 2025. If a candidate believes that an answer marked in the key is incorrect, they must file a formal complaint within this stipulated period.
The process to raise an objection requires candidates to log in to the SHSB portal using their credentials and find the specific link for 'objection' or 'challenge to answer key'. They must then select the question they wish to challenge, provide what they believe is the correct answer, and support their claim with a reasonable explanation or evidence, if necessary. It is imperative to complete this step before the deadline, as requests submitted after December 28 will not be entertained under any circumstances.
Pathway to Final Results and Merit List
The publication of the final results and the merit list is directly dependent on the completion of this objection process. SHSB will examine all valid objections received by the deadline. Only after this scrutiny is complete will the authority release a final, corrected answer key. This final key will be the ultimate basis for evaluating the answer sheets and preparing the final results.
Candidates are therefore advised to regularly monitor the official SHSB website for all subsequent updates, including the notice for the final answer key and the much-anticipated Bihar ANM result 2025. Staying informed through the authorised platform is key to navigating the final stages of this recruitment process successfully.
