===== Which of these queries work — and which wobble =====
* **[1] Your own evaluated answer sheet** — squarely disclosable (*CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay*, SC 2011: an evaluated answer book is information under §2(f); see our [[:important-decisions:cbse-and-anr-vs-aditya-bandopadhyay|decision summary]]).
* **[2] Your total marks** — yours, no exemption engaged.
* **[3]–[8] Cut-offs, qualified/selected counts by category** — aggregate statistical information, routinely disclosed; the public interest in selection transparency is obvious.
* **Model answer keys / question papers** — add a query if released versions exist; commissions have directed disclosure of keys after the exam cycle.
* **Other candidates' names/marks** — that engages privacy balancing; ask for the **aggregate numbers** (as this sample does) rather than individual data, and you stay clean.
===== Filing pointers =====
* Address the PIO of the **recruiting body or exam-conducting authority** (SSC/RRB/UPSC/State PSC or the university), not the invigilating centre.
* Central bodies: file at [[https://rtionline.gov.in|rtionline.gov.in]] (₹10 online). State PSCs: the state's route — see the [[:rti-fees-by-state|fee and portal hub]].
* Reply due **30 days**; the "keys and cut-offs" queries are often answered earlier by the results portal — check there first, then ask by RTI for what is missing.
* For the general structure of a request: [[:guide:applicant:application:how-fill-rti-application-form|How to Fill RTI Application Form]].
===== FAQs =====
==== Is my answer sheet personal information that can be withheld? ====
It is your own record; the Supreme Court in *CBSE v. Aditya Bandopadhyay* held evaluated answer books disclosable to the examinee who seeks them.
==== The exam body says "results are on the website, RTI not needed" ====
Website publication does not answer a request for the evaluated sheet or the selection-stage numbers; §2(f) covers material in any form, and the right is to the record, not the press release.
==== Can I ask for another candidate's answer sheet? ====
That is third-party information; expect §8(1)(j) balancing — and since 14 November 2025 the DPDP-amended test. Aggregate cut-off and count queries get you the transparency without that fight.
==== Cut-offs for a later cycle than the exam I took? ====
One subject per application; file a second application for each cycle's numbers.
