How to Download SSC Steno LDCE Final Answer Key 2026

Follow these simple steps to download your Final Answer Key, Response Sheet, and Marks/Scorecard:

1. Visit the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in.
2. Look for the notice titled "Grade 'C' Stenographers LDCE, 2025: Uploading of Final Answer Key(s) along-with Candidates' Response Sheet(s) and Marks/Scorecard."
3. Click the notice to open the PDF, and click the login link provided inside it.

How to Calculate Scores

Since this is the final answer key, your Marks/Scorecard is already computed and provided by SSC. However, you can cross-verify your estimated score by matching your responses (visible in the Response Sheet) with the correct answers published in the Final Answer Key. Typically, SSC CBE exams award +1 mark for each correct answer and impose a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer (though the exact scheme for this departmental exam may vary). Your official scorecard already reflects the final marks after any normalization (if applicable). Use the response sheet to tally your answers and calculate your approximate raw score, then compare it with the declared scorecard.

Objection/Challenge Process

There is no objection or challenge window for this Final Answer Key. According to the official notice, the uploaded answer key is final, and individual requests to the Commission for re-evaluation or challenge will not be entertained under any circumstances. Candidates are advised to carefully review their response sheet and marks within the download window (17th September to 2nd October 2026). If any discrepancy is suspected, you may contact SSC through the official grievance portal before the deadline, but note that no changes to the final key will be made.

What's Next?

With the release of the final answer key and scorecard, the next stage for the SSC Steno LDCE 2025-26 is likely the Skill Test (Stenography Test). Candidates who have qualified in the CBE (as per the result declared on 25th August 2026) will be called for the skill test based on their performance. The schedule for the skill test will be announced separately on the SSC website. Keep checking ssc.gov.in for updates. Also, ensure you download all documents before the 2nd October 2026 deadline, as no extension will be provided.
