The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially released the tentative answer key and candidates' response sheets for the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2025 Tier-II. This examination took place on April 10, 2026, across various examination centers nationwide. Candidates who participated in this examination can now access their results through the official SSC portal by entering their registration number and password.
To view their response sheets along with the tentative answer keys, candidates should visit the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in. The process requires candidates to log in using their respective registration numbers and passwords. This feature allows candidates to verify their answers and assess their performance in the Tier-II examination.
Challenge Window for Objections
In addition to releasing the answer key, the SSC has opened an online challenge window for candidates who wish to contest the tentative answers. Candidates can submit their grievances regarding the answer key by paying a fee of Rs 50 per question. The challenge window will be available from 1:00 PM on April 20, 2026, until 6:00 PM on April 23, 2026. This opportunity is crucial for candidates who believe there may be discrepancies in the provided answers.
Understanding the Challenge Process
It is important for candidates to note that the order of questions and answer options in the challenge module may differ from the examination module. However, the responses recorded by candidates remain accurate. Once the challenge period concludes, the SSC will review all objections and make necessary adjustments to the answer key if warranted.
Candidates are advised to keep a printed copy of their response sheets for personal reference, as these will not be available beyond the specified challenge period. This document will serve as a vital record for candidates during the objection process.
Preference Submission and Final Results
Following the resolution of challenges, candidates will need to submit their options and preferences for job postings. The SSC will soon issue a notice regarding the activation of the preference portal. It is crucial for candidates to enter their preferences during the designated period; failure to do so will result in ineligibility for appointment in the final result list.
The Under Secretary C-1 has emphasized that all candidates must adhere to the instructions provided. They are encouraged to regularly check the official SSC website and their respective Regional/Sub-regional Offices for updates related to the examination and subsequent processes.
