Candidates who appeared in the exam held from September 12 to 26, with a re-exam on October 14, can now download the answer key along with their individual response sheets and question papers. To download the answer key, candidates need to visit the SSC website, click on the “Answer Key” link, and enter their registration number and password or date of birth for access.
Candidates can use the answer key to calculate their approximate scores before the final results are declared. The marking scheme is: +2 marks for each correct answer and -0.5 marks for each wrong answer.

The Tier 1 result is expected in November 2025, and candidates qualifying in Tier 1 will move on to the Tier 2 exam, tentatively scheduled for December 2025.
