AC Team
Good news for candidates who appeared for the SSC GD Constable Examination. The Staff Selection Commission has released the answer key on June 15, 2026. You can now check your answers and estimate your score before the final results arrive.
If you think there's a mistake in any answer, you can challenge it too. The commission has opened an objection window for this purpose. Let's walk through everything you need to know about downloading the answer key and filing objections.
What You Get With The Answer Key
When you log in to check the answer key, SSC provides three important documents. You get the provisional answer key that shows the correct answers according to the commission. You also get your response sheet that displays what you marked during the exam. Finally, you can access your question paper to review the questions you faced.
These three documents together help you calculate your expected score. You can match your responses with the official answers and get a fair idea of your performance.
Steps To Download Your Answer Key
The download process is simple and takes just a few minutes. Start by visiting the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in. Look for the Login tab on the homepage and click it.
Enter your username and password that you used during registration. After you submit these details, find the Answer Key link and click it. Your answer key, response sheet, and question paper will appear on the screen. Download all three documents and save them on your device for future reference.
The direct link to access the answer key section is available on the SSC homepage under the answer key section.
How To Challenge An Answer
Sometimes candidates spot errors in the provisional answer key. If you believe an answer is wrong, you can challenge it through the online system. Here's how the process works.
Go back to the SSC website and open the answer key notification link. Log in with your registered User ID and Password. Navigate to the section marked for answer key challenges.
Select the specific question you want to challenge. You can challenge multiple questions if needed. For each challenge, you need to upload supporting documents that prove your point. These could be textbook references, official guidelines, or expert opinions.
After uploading your proof, you need to pay an objection fee of ₹50 per question. The payment happens online through the portal. Once you complete the payment, submit your challenge.
Keep a copy of your submission form and payment receipt. These documents serve as proof that you filed an objection within the deadline.
Important Points About Objections
SSC only considers objections submitted online within the given time period. The commission does not accept challenges sent through email, post, or any other method.
The objection fee is ₹50 per question. If you challenge five questions, you pay ₹250. Make sure you have valid proof before spending money on objections.
After the objection period ends, SSC reviews all challenges received from candidates. The expert team checks the supporting documents and decides whether to accept or reject each objection. Based on this review, the commission releases the final answer key.
What Happens After You File An Objection
The review process takes some time as SSC needs to examine each challenge carefully. If your objection is valid and SSC accepts it, they update the answer key. This change affects the scores of all candidates who answered that particular question.
If the commission rejects your objection, the original answer remains unchanged. SSC does not refund the objection fee in either case.
The final answer key gets released only after all valid objections are processed. The commission then prepares the final results based on this updated answer key.
Why The Answer Key Matters
The answer key serves multiple purposes for candidates. It gives you an early indication of your performance. You can calculate your expected marks and decide whether to start preparing for the next stage of recruitment.
If you spot genuine errors in the answer key and get them corrected, it can change your score. Sometimes a single mark makes the difference between qualifying and missing the cut-off.
The answer key also helps you identify your weak areas. You can see which topics you need to study more if you plan to appear for similar exams in the future.
Make sure you download your answer key and response sheet as soon as possible. Check each answer carefully. If you find any discrepancies, gather your proof and file an objection before the deadline expires.
The SSC GD Constable recruitment process moves forward based on these answer keys. Stay updated with the official website for any announcements about the final answer key and result declaration.
