The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has released the provisional answer key for the Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGL) Tier-2 exams. Candidates can now challenge questions and answers on the official website, ssc.gov.in , until February 3 .
Answer Key and Objections
Along with the provisional answer key, the SSC has also issued candidate response sheets. These can be accessed using a registration number and password. Candidates dissatisfied with any answer can submit an objection. Each objection costs Rs 50 . The deadline for submitting representations is February 3, 8:00 PM . The commission stated that any objections received after this time will not be considered.
Candidates are advised to download and print their response sheets. The response sheets will not be available after the specified deadline. The SSC emphasized that the question paper hosted on the portal is for personal use and self-analysis only. An undertaking to this effect is part of the challenge management portal.
Candidate Preferences and Qualifications
Successful candidates must submit their option-cum-preference for posts. This selection process will be announced separately. Failure to submit preferences by the deadline will disqualify candidates from being considered for any post in the final result.
