SSSB Punjab will not entertain an objection to the Punjab Group D answer key that arrives after the last date or by any mode other than email. The Examination Conducting Authority places each objection before its expert committee.
An objection with a textbook name and an exact page number gives the committee a clear source to check. Candidates should also save the scanned form as a PDF on the same day. This is added context, not part of the official notice. Confirm with the official website.
What happens after the objection window
The expert committee considers every objection received on time. Its decision binds all stakeholders, and SSSB Punjab will take no further objections at any level.
The board seeks objections on the Punjab Group D answer key only at the provisional stage. It will not accept them after the Final Answer Key is published. Candidates can follow the next stage on the Results page and see other latest job notices.
