Delhi Police AWO/TPO Answer Key 2026 Expected Soon After CBT

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is preparing to release the provisional answer key for the Delhi Police Head Constable (Assistant Wireless Operator/Tele-Printer Operator — AWO/TPO) exam 2026. This key is anticipated to be published in the last week of January 2026 for candidates to review and use in estimating their potential scores from the computer-based test conducted between 15 January and 22 January 2026. Once released, the answer key will be accompanied by individual response sheets showing how candidates answered each question, allowing detailed self-assessment before the results are announced.

What Candidates Can Do With the Provisional Answer Key?

The provisional key serves several purposes:

• Estimate exam performance: Candidates can match their answers with the key to calculate approximately how many marks they scored.
• Identify strong/weak areas: Reviewing response sheets helps candidates assess subject-wise strengths and weaknesses.
• Prepare for objections: If discrepancies are found in the provisional key, candidates are permitted to challenge specific answers once the objection window opens.

The usual marking scheme for SSC exams like this includes +1 mark for each correct answer and −0.25 marks for each incorrect response, with no marks for unattempted questions. This formula helps candidates calculate a close estimate of their scores from the provisional key.

Objection Window and Final Answer Key

After the release of the provisional answer key, the commission will provide a window to raise objections. Candidates who believe certain answers are incorrect may submit challenges along with appropriate justification and fees.Once all objections are reviewed, a final answer key will be published. This final version will be used to prepare the official result and merit lists for the AWO/TPO posts.

What Happens Next?

Following the publication of the final answer key:

• SSC will declare the Delhi Police AWO/TPO 2026 results.
• Qualified candidates will be shortlisted for further stages of the recruitment process, including document verification and any prescribed physical or skill tests.

A final answer key and result dates will be announced on the official SSC website once the key challenge process and evaluations are completed.
