Objection Submission Process
Candidates dissatisfied with any of the tentative answers can submit online objections. The window for challenging answers closes on December 27 . A processing fee applies for each question or answer challenged.
To submit an objection, candidates must pay a non-refundable fee of Rs 50 per question or answer challenged . The online portal guides candidates through the submission process, allowing them to detail their concerns and provide supporting references if necessary. SSC advises candidates to review all keys thoroughly before initiating any challenge.
Sequence Variation Clarification
The Staff Selection Commission has addressed potential discrepancies in question and option sequences. The sequence of questions and options displayed in the online challenge module may not match the exact order presented during the actual examination. This variation occurs because the challenge module uses a standardized sequence for all candidates within a given exam shift.
However, the responses selected by individual candidates during the live examination are accurately reflected in their respective response sheets available through the challenge module. Candidates should focus on the content of the questions and their submitted answers when verifying and raising objections, rather than the visual sequence of items.
