Objection Window — Challenge Wrong Answers
SSC has activated the objection window from June 15 to June 20, 2026. Candidates who find any error in the provisional answer key can challenge it online within the given deadline. A fee of ₹50 per question is required to raise objections.
Once SSC has reviewed all the objections, it will release the SSC GD Final Answer Key 2026, which will be followed by the SSC GD result.
Normalisation Process
Since the SSC GD exam was conducted in multiple shifts, SSC applies a normalisation process. As the difficulty level of question papers may vary across shifts, marks are normalised using a statistical formula to ensure fair evaluation of all candidates before results and cut-offs are prepared.
