The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially released the SSC GD Answer Key 2026 for the Constable (General Duty) recruitment examination. This release is extremely important for candidates who appeared in the examination, as it provides complete transparency in the evaluation process and allows candidates to review their performance before the declaration of results.
The SSC GD examination is one of the largest competitive exams in India, conducted to recruit candidates for various forces such as BSF, CISF, CRPF, SSB, ITBP, Assam Rifles and NCB. With lakhs of aspirants participating every year, the release of the answer key plays a crucial role in ensuring fairness and accuracy in the selection process.
The SSC GD Answer Key 2026 contains the officially approved answers for all questions asked in the Computer Based Test. Initially, SSC releases a provisional answer key, which gives candidates an opportunity to raise objections if they believe that any answer provided by the commission is incorrect.
After reviewing all objections submitted by candidates, SSC prepares and releases the final answer key. This final answer key is considered absolute and is used for the preparation of the SSC GD Result 2026 and the merit list.
Candidates should note that once the final answer key is released, no further challenges or representations are entertained by the commission under any circumstances.

Candidates can download the SSC GD Answer Key 2026 by following the official process provided by the Staff Selection Commission. It is mandatory to log in using valid credentials to access the answer key and response sheet.
The response sheet displays the answers marked by the candidate during the examination. It allows candidates to compare their responses with the official answer key question by question.
This comparison helps candidates identify correct answers, incorrect answers, and unanswered questions. Based on this, candidates can calculate their tentative score and evaluate their chances of qualifying for the next stage of the recruitment process.
SSC generally keeps the response sheet available only for a limited duration. Therefore, candidates are strongly advised to download and save it immediately after logging in.
If any candidate finds a discrepancy in the provisional answer key, SSC provides an opportunity to raise objections through an online challenge system.
Each objection must be supported with valid justification and documentary proof. A prescribed fee is charged for each question challenged. If the objection is found to be correct, the fee is refunded as per SSC rules.
Important Notice: Candidates should carefully review all questions before submitting objections. Random or unsupported challenges may lead to rejection.
The SSC GD examination follows a fixed marking scheme. Understanding the marking scheme is essential for calculating the expected score accurately.
Using the official marking scheme, candidates can calculate their expected score using the formula:
(Number of Correct Answers × 2) – (Number of Wrong Answers × 0.25)
This estimated score provides candidates with an early idea of whether they are likely to qualify for the next stage of the recruitment process.
The SSC GD cut off marks are released category-wise after the declaration of results. The cut off depends on various factors such as the difficulty level of the examination, number of vacancies, normalization process and overall performance of candidates.
Candidates scoring equal to or more than the cut off marks are shortlisted for the next phase of selection, which includes physical tests and medical examination.
Once the final answer key is published, SSC releases the SSC GD Result 2026. Candidates who qualify the CBT are called for the subsequent stages of recruitment.
Candidates are advised to follow only official updates released by the Staff Selection Commission. Do not rely on unofficial sources or rumors.
