The Commission has activated the objection window from 15th to 20th June 2026, allowing candidates to challenge any answer they believe is incorrect. A few important points to keep in mind:
This is a provisional answer key — not final.
The objection fee is ₹50 per question, payable online, and will be refunded automatically if the objection is found valid after review by the commission.
While raising the objection, candidates also have to provide valid proof to justify their objections, along with the fee.
After reviewing all objections submitted by candidates, SSC will release the final answer key, which will be used for preparing the SSC GD Result 2026.
Candidates can follow these steps to download the answer key and response sheet:

Log in using your Registration Number/Roll Number and Password

Tip: Always access the answer key only through ssc.gov.in. Avoid third-party links claiming to host the official PDF.
Candidates who find a discrepancy in the provisional answer key can raise an objection by following these steps:
Log in to the SSC candidate portal at ssc.gov.in using your registration number and password
Navigate to the "Challenge Answer Key" / objection window link
Select the question(s) you wish to challenge
Upload legitimate, clear supporting documents or textbook references to justify the objection
Pay the objection fee of ₹50 per question online (net banking/UPI/debit card)
Submit the form and download the acknowledgement receipt
Note: During this period, candidates can submit challenges against any answer they believe is incorrect by providing valid supporting documents and paying the prescribed fee.
Before objecting, candidates should match their response sheet with the answer key and calculate their tentative score using the official marking scheme:
| SSC GD 2026 Marking Scheme — Calculate Your Score | |
| Type of Answer | Marks |
| Correct Answer | +2 marks |
| Incorrect Answer | -0.25 marks (negative marking) |
| Unattempted | 0 marks |
Expected Score Formula: Total Score = (Correct Answers × 2) − (Wrong Answers × 0.25)
SSC's subject matter experts will review every objection submitted with valid proof
If an objection is found valid, the question will be amended, and benefit marks will apply to all candidates who attempted that question/shift
The final answer key cannot be challenged further and will be considered final for result preparation
The SSC GD Result for the Computer Based Test is expected to be released in July-August 2026 (not officially confirmed; treat as tentative)
For context, here's a quick recap of the exam this answer key relates to:
The recruitment drive aims to fill 25,487 Constable (GD) vacancies across CAPFs, along with Rifleman (GD) posts in Assam Rifles and Sepoy posts in the Narcotics Control Bureau
The exam was conducted as the SSC GD Constable Computer-Based Examination 2025-26 across multiple phases
