Candidates can use the tentative answer key and response sheet to calculate their probable Paper 1 marks.
Paper 1 contains 200 questions from General Hindi and General English. According to the reported marking scheme, candidates receive one mark for every correct answer, while 0.25 mark is deducted for every incorrect answer.
The basic calculation can be represented as:
Probable Score = Correct Answers × 1 − Incorrect Answers × 0.25
For example, if a candidate has 150 correct responses and 30 incorrect responses:
150 − (30 × 0.25) = 142.5 marks
The score calculated using the tentative key should be treated as a probable score, not the final SSC result.
The SSC Combined Hindi Translators Paper 1 examination was conducted in computer-based mode on September 8 and September 13, 2026. The answer key now allows candidates to review their responses and compare them against the tentative answers released by SSC.
The recruitment covers posts including Junior Hindi Translator, Junior Translator and Senior Translator. Current recruitment reporting lists 303 tentative vacancies for the examination.
The current answer key is tentative, so candidates should not treat the displayed answers as the final key. Candidates have been given an opportunity to challenge answers within the notified window.
After considering the representations received from candidates, SSC will proceed with the subsequent stages of the recruitment process. The final answer key and result will be announced separately by the Commission.
Candidates should therefore keep their response sheet and the answers they have challenged for reference.
The SSC JHT Result 2026 will be released separately after the answer-key objection process and evaluation. No final result date should be treated as confirmed unless announced by SSC.
Candidates should check ssc.gov.in for the result notification rather than relying on unofficial result dates circulating online.
