- Available options<\/li>\n\n\n\n

The current notice does not announce a separate date for the final answer key<\/strong> or result.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Commission has also stated that candidates should refer to the detailed Challenge\/Objection Management System guidelines<\/strong> issued on its website.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce the objection process is completed, SSC may finalize the answer key for further processing of the examination result. The official 2026 examination notice states that tentative answer keys are followed by an objection process, after which the final answer keys are used for processing the CBT result<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSSC Stenographer Answer Key 2026: How to Calculate Your Score?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nCandidates can use their response sheet and tentative answer key to estimate their probable marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As per the SSC Stenographer 2026 examination pattern, the Computer Based Examination contains 200 questions for 200 marks<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n| Part<\/th> | Subject<\/th> | Questions<\/th> | Marks<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> |
|---|
| Part I<\/td> | General Intelligence & Reasoning<\/td> | 50<\/td> | 50<\/td><\/tr> | | Part II<\/td> | General Awareness<\/td> | 50<\/td> | 50<\/td><\/tr> | | Part III<\/td> | English Language & Comprehension<\/td> | 100<\/td> | 100<\/td><\/tr> | Total<\/strong><\/td>| \u2014<\/td> | 200<\/strong><\/td>| 200<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n The examination duration is 2 hours<\/strong>, with the prescribed sectional timers, and there is negative marking of 0.25 marks for every incorrect answer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSSC Stenographer Score Calculation Formula<\/h3>\n\n\n\nCandidates can estimate their score using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Estimated Score = Correct Answers \u00d7 1 \u2212 Incorrect Answers \u00d7 0.25<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor example, if a candidate has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n- Correct Answers = 150<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Incorrect Answers = 30<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Unattempted = 20<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Estimated Score = 150 \u2212 (30 \u00d7 0.25)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nEstimated Score = 142.5 marks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is only a probable score based on the tentative key<\/strong>. The final marks used for result purposes will be based on the final answer key and SSC’s prescribed normalization procedure where applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSSC Stenographer Answer Key 2026: Normalization of Marks<\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf the Computer Based Examination is conducted in multiple shifts, SSC uses its prescribed normalization procedure<\/strong> for the marks. The 2026 examination notice states that normalized scores are used to determine final merit and cut-off marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTherefore, candidates should use their response sheet and tentative key to estimate performance, but should not treat a self-calculated raw score as the final official score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SSC Stenographer Final Answer Key 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe SSC Stenographer Final Answer Key 2026<\/strong> will be prepared after the Commission processes the representations received against the tentative answer key.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current answer-key notice does not specify the final answer key release date<\/strong>. Therefore, candidates should not rely on an unofficial date.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe SSC examination notice states that the final answer keys will be used for processing the CBT result and will be uploaded on the Commission’s website after declaration of the CBT result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SSC Stenographer Result 2026: What Comes Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAfter the Computer Based Examination result, candidates who qualify according to the applicable criteria will be shortlisted for the Skill Test in Stenography<\/strong>. The SSC examination notice states that the Skill Test is mandatory but qualifying in nature<\/strong>. Candidates who qualify the Skill Test are considered for further allocation\/selection based on their CBT performance and prescribed preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor the 2026 examination, the minimum qualifying percentages in the Computer Based Examination are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n| Category<\/th> | Minimum Qualifying Marks<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> |
