Quick Summary of SSC GD Answer Key 2026

About SSC (Staff Selection Commission)

The Staff Selection Commission is a central government body under the Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India. SSC conducts recruitment examinations for Group B and Group C posts in various central government ministries, departments, and organisations. The SSC GD Constable examination is one of the largest recruitment drives in India, placing candidates in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) including BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, SSB, and the Assam Rifles. More details are available at ssc.gov.in.

How This Compares — SSC GD 2026 in the Central Government Jobs Landscape

With 25,487 vacancies, the SSC GD 2026 cycle is one of the highest-volume central government recruitments of the year. The minimum qualification is 10th pass (Matriculation), which makes the applicant pool significantly larger than SSC CHSL or SSC CGL, both of which require 12th or graduation-level credentials. (This is editorial context, not part of the official notification.) Based on SSC GD cycles in 2021 and 2023, competition ratios historically exceed 100 applicants per vacancy at the Matriculation-level bar. Candidates who appeared across the 27 April–31 May 2026 exam window should use the answer key period to calculate tentative scores against expected cut-offs before the final result is declared.

Important Dates

The answer key and response sheets were published on 15th June 2026. Candidates have a five-day window to raise objections. The objection portal closes strictly at 06:00 PM on 20th June 2026 — representations received after this deadline will not be entertained under any circumstances, per the official notice.

Selection Process

The SSC GD Constable 2026 selection process follows a multi-stage pattern. The Computer Based Examination (CBE), for which the answer key has now been released, is the first stage.

1. Computer Based Examination (CBE)
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET)
3. Physical Standard Test (PST)
4. Medical Examination
5. Document Verification

The final answer key will be published after the objection review period. Candidates who qualify the CBE will then be called for PET/PST. Detailed shortlisting criteria and cut-off marks are not mentioned in the official answer key release.

Should You Use the Answer Key?

The answer key release is relevant to all candidates who appeared in the SSC GD CBE held between 27th April 2026 and 31st May 2026. Candidates who appeared across multiple shifts can download their individual response sheet and match answers against the tentative key to estimate their likely score before the official result.

The objection process is suitable for candidates who identify a clear factual error in a specific answer and can support that challenge with a published reference. Submitting challenges without documentation is unlikely to produce a revised answer. The fee of ₹50 per question is non-refundable if the objection is not accepted — candidates should raise only well-supported challenges rather than challenging on instinct alone.

The final answer key, which SSC will publish after reviewing valid objections, is the version used for calculating final marks and determining the shortlist for PET/PST. (Editorial context: Based on previous SSC GD cycles, the gap between tentative answer key release and final result declaration has typically been two to four months. Candidates should treat this period as preparation time for the physical stages.)

Candidates who do not qualify at the CBE stage are not eligible to proceed to subsequent rounds regardless of objection outcomes. Checking the response sheet also helps candidates in planning for future SSC examinations.
