The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) has officially published the provisional answer keys for the Group C and Group D recruitment examinations on 2 April 2026. This development allows candidates to independently verify their responses and estimate expected scores ahead of the final results announcement.
WBSSC Answer Key Details and Vacancies
The Group C exam — conducted on 1 March 2026 — had 723 vacancies for various clerical staff and related positions. Similarly, the Group D exam, held on 8 March 2026, was part of the recruitment drive to fill 5,489 vacancies for non‑teaching support staff in schools under the commission’s jurisdiction. The provisional answer keys for both exams are available for all question paper sets in PDF format on the official WBSSC website westbengalssc.com. Candidates can download the files to review question‑wise correct responses and compute a tentative score based on correct answers.

WBSSC Estimate Scores and Objection Window
Candidates can calculate their provisional scores by matching their answers with the official key — each correct answer carries one mark, and there is no negative marking in these recruitment tests. Since these are provisional keys, the commission has also opened the objection window for candidates who notice discrepancies in the answers. Aspirants may challenge specific responses by submitting objections through the official portal, usually accompanied by supporting documentation or academic references, within the stipulated deadline in April 2026.
