SSC CHSL Tier 2 Answer Key 2026 OUT: PDF, Response Sheet, Objection

SSC CHSL Tier 2 Answer Key 2026 Latest Status

SSC has released the tentative answer key and candidates' response sheet for CHSLE 2025 Tier-II. This gives candidates a short review window to compare their marked responses with the Commission's provisional answers before the final key is prepared.

The answer key currently available is not the final answer key. Candidates should use this stage for two practical purposes: first, to estimate performance, and second, to raise an objection only where they have a specific and supportable issue with an answer.

The response sheet is normally available through SSC candidate login, not as a public PDF. Candidates should keep a saved copy of their response sheet during the active objection period.

Important Dates You Should Not Miss

For most candidates, the critical date now is the objection deadline. Once that closes, SSC will review the representations and use the final answer key for processing the result.

How to Download SSC CHSL Tier 2 Answer Key and Response Sheet

1. Visit the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in.
2. Open the Answer Key section or the relevant CHSLE 2025 Tier-II notice.
3. Log in using your Registration Number and Password.
4. Open the link for the tentative answer key along with candidates' response sheet.
5. View the question paper and recorded responses carefully.
6. Download or save the response sheet for your own record before the access window closes.

If the portal is slow, try again after some time instead of rushing. The important part is to save your response sheet early so you have enough time to review doubtful questions properly.

How to Raise an Objection Against the Tentative Key

SSC allows answer key challenges only through the online objection mechanism made available with the tentative key. The Commission's exam notice makes it clear that representations sent through email, letters, or other offline modes are not entertained for answer key review.

1. Log in to your SSC candidate account.
2. Open the CHSLE 2025 Tier-II answer key challenge window.
3. Select the question or answer you want to dispute.
4. Enter your objection carefully and attach or cite support if the portal requires it.
5. Pay the prescribed fee of Rs. 100 per challenged question.
6. Submit the objection before 23 April 2026, 06:00 PM.

Do not raise objections on guesswork. A challenge is most useful when you can point to a clear answer mismatch or a defensible source-based correction.

What the Tier-II Answer Key Actually Covers

The answer key mainly helps for the objective portions of Session-I of Tier-II. CHSL Tier-II includes objective sections in Mathematics, Reasoning, English, General Awareness, and Computer Knowledge, while the skill test or typing test module is qualifying in nature and is handled differently.

This distinction matters because candidates sometimes assume the answer key covers the entire Tier-II stage. It does not work that way for typing and skill test performance.

Tier-II Exam Pattern Relevant to Answer Key Checking

SSC's CHSL 2025 notice states that there is negative marking of 1 mark for each wrong answer in Section-I, Section-II, and Section-III of Tier-II. Each correct answer in the objective modules carries 3 marks. This is the key marking structure candidates should keep in mind while checking the tentative answer key.

How to Estimate Your Tentative Tier-II Score

If you want to estimate your likely objective score from the answer key, use the Tier-II marking scheme carefully.

• Add 3 marks for each correct answer in the objective modules.
• Deduct 1 mark for each incorrect answer in Section-I, Section-II, and the Computer Knowledge Test.
• Do not include the qualifying typing test or skill test in this score estimate.

This estimate is useful only as a provisional self-check. Your final evaluated score will depend on SSC's reviewed final answer key and the qualifying requirements in all mandatory sections of Tier-II.

Posts, Vacancies and Eligibility Snapshot

The CHSL 2025 notice is for Group C posts under the central government. The notice shows approximate vacancies and the basic qualification level relevant to this answer key cycle.

This is useful because many candidates searching for the answer key also want to confirm whether the CHSL cycle covers LDC, JSA, and DEO posts under one common examination.

What Happens After the Objection Window Closes

After 23 April 2026, SSC will review the objections received through the online challenge process. The Commission's exam notice states that representations are scrutinized before finalizing the answer key, and the decision of the Commission in this regard is final.

Once that review is over, SSC is expected to publish the final answer key after declaration of the result of the computer based examination. Candidates should therefore treat the current key as provisional and wait for the final SSC decision before assuming their final evaluated marks.
