How to Calculate Your Score Using the GSSSB Answer Key 2026
While the official marking scheme for each specific post should be confirmed from the exam notice, the standard GSSSB pattern for Class-3 exams is as follows:
- Match each of your recorded responses with the provisional answer shown in the response sheet.
- Award yourself the marks specified per correct answer (typically +1 for each correct response; confirm from your exam notice).
- If negative marking is applicable, deduct the prescribed penalty for each incorrect answer (commonly −0.25 per wrong answer in GSSSB exams; verify against your notice).
- Questions left blank generally carry zero marks and no penalty.
- Sum your total to arrive at an estimated score. Remember, this is based on the provisional key and may change after the objection review process.
How to Raise an Objection Against the GSSSB Answer Key 2026
GSSSB generally accepts objections against a provisional answer key only through the online candidate portal, within the window mentioned in the specific notice. Objections sent by post, email, or in person are typically not entertained. The general process is:
- Log in to the candidate portal using your credentials.
- Select the question(s) you wish to challenge, referencing the Question ID shown in your response sheet.
- Upload supporting documentary proof (textbook references, official sources) for each objection.
- Submit before the deadline stated in the notice — late submissions are not accepted.
- A subject-expert panel reviews all valid objections before GSSSB releases the Final Answer Key.
Required Documents
To access your personalised response sheet and raise objections, keep the following ready:
- Advertisement number for the relevant post
- Confirmation number / registration number from your application
- Date of birth as per application records
- Supporting reference material (books, official guidelines) if you plan to raise an objection
Important Instructions
- This is a provisional answer key — it can change after GSSSB reviews candidate objections, so do not treat it as final for score calculation.
- Marks for any question later cancelled are usually awarded to all candidates on a pro-rata basis, as per GSSSB’s standard practice in recent notices.
- Objections are accepted online only, within the stated window; no other mode is entertained.
- Keep a saved or printed copy of your response sheet for future reference, including for any grievance or RTI purposes.
- The Final Answer Key, when released, supersedes this provisional key and forms the basis for the result.
