The Union Public Service Commission will conduct the IES 2025 Prelims exam offline on June 8, 2025. The Commission will release the official IES 2025 prelims answer key online after the declaration of the final result. It is a set practice of the Commission that it releases the official answer key after the declaration of the final result to avoid any delay in the selection process due to litigation. 

There are various coaching institutes that release the IES prelims answer key but we cannot comment on the reliability and authenticity of their answers.
