What does the answer key give you?
SSC held the Computer Based Exam for the Stenographer Grade ‘C’ and ‘D’ Examination 2026 on 9–12 September and 15 September 2026. It has now released the tentative answer key along with each candidate’s response sheet. You can see which option you chose, what SSC considers correct, and estimate your likely score.
When and how to object
If you think an official answer is wrong, you can submit an online objection between 11 PM on 23 September 2026 and 11 PM on 26 September 2026. The fee is ₹50 per question. Cite a reliable book or source with your objection so that the experts can check it. Only online objections count; letters or emails will not be considered.
Keep in mind
- The question order in the challenge module may look different, but your chosen answers are unchanged.
- A saved question paper is only for personal use and self-analysis.
- Also read SSC’s guidelines on the Challenge/Objection Management System issued on 10-04-2026.
- Response sheets will not be available once the window closes.
What next?
Experts will review the objections, and the result will be prepared using the final answer key. Result and skill test updates will be posted on the SSC website, so keep checking ssc.gov.in.
