SSC CGL Tier-I Answer Key 2026 – Details
The Staff Selection Commission has uploaded the tentative answer keys along with the candidates’ response sheets for the Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2026 (Tier-I). The Tier-I examination was conducted from 30 September 2026 to 28 October 2026 at centres across the country, and candidates who appeared can now compare the answers they marked with the provisional key published by the Commission.
Candidates can access the response sheet and the tentative key by logging in on ssc.gov.in with their Registration Number and Password. The login step matters because the response sheet is personal to each candidate, so the sheet and key should be checked through the official website rather than through any third-party link.
If a candidate finds a question or answer in the tentative key that appears incorrect, the Commission allows an online representation during the challenge window. Each challenged question or answer carries a fee of Rs. 50, and representations received after 9 pm on 7 November 2026 will not be entertained under any circumstances. Candidates should therefore check every response carefully, note the questions they wish to challenge, and submit the representation well before the window closes.
