The Board has put out the first answer key for the Group-D written exam held on 25.10.2026, with a separate key for each of the four question booklet sets, A to D. You have until 5:00 PM on 28.10.2026 to object to any answer, and you can do it only by email. This is a provisional answer key, which means it is the first version and can still change if the Board’s expert committee accepts an objection.

How to Raise an Objection
Find your set (A, B, C or D) in the tables above and check the answers you think are wrong.
Download the Grievance Form, which is Annexure-1 of the objection notice.
Fill one separate form for each question you object to, and write the question number, the published answer and the answer you say is correct.
Explain why you are right, and add the name of the reference book or document with the page number. Attach a copy of that page as proof.
Sign the form, scan it with the proof, and email it to objections30112025.sssbexam@gmail.com before 5:00 PM on 28.10.2026.
Note: The Board accepts objections only by email. A request sent in any other way, or after 28.10.2026, will not be entertained.
What the Grievance Form Asks For
Field
What to write
Advt. No. and Post
Advt. No. 04 of 2026, post of Group-D
Name of the Candidate
Your full name
Application No.
Your application number
Roll Number
Your roll number
Question Booklet Series
Your set: A, B, C or D
Question No.
The number of the question you are objecting to
Published Provisional Answer Key
The answer the Board has published for that question
Claim of Correct Key
The answer you say is correct
Nature of Objection
What is wrong with the published answer
Explanation in Support of Objection
Why your answer is correct, in your own words
Reference Text Book / Document and Page Number
Name of the book or document and the page number, with a copy of the reference enclosed
Send your objection by email only. The notice says a request sent in any other way will not be accepted.
Use a separate Grievance Form for each question. One form covering several questions can be rejected.
Do not wait for the last day. The window closes at 5:00 PM on 28.10.2026, and nothing is taken after that.
The notice prints the email address twice, and the second one is spelled “gmall.com”. That looks like a typing mistake, so use the gmail.com address from paragraph (a).
Check the key for your own set. A different set has different answers for the same question number.
Fill in the reference book name and page number on the form, and attach a copy of the page. The form asks for both.
Frequently Asked Questions
When was the Group-D written exam held?
The Board held the written exam on 25.10.2026 and released the provisional answer keys the same day.
What is a provisional answer key?
It is the first version of the key, and the Board can change it after an expert committee looks at the objections candidates raise.
Till when can I raise an objection?
You can send your objection from 26.10.2026 until 5:00 PM on 28.10.2026.
How do I raise an objection?
Fill the Annexure-1 Grievance Form for each question, attach your proof, and email the scanned copies to the Board.
Is there a fee for raising an objection?
The notice does not mention any fee.
Which set should I check?
Check the set printed on your own question booklet, because Sets A, B, C and D have different answers.
Who decides if my objection is right?
An expert committee of the Board’s Examination Conducting Authority looks at every objection, and its decision is binding on everyone.
Can I object after the final answer key is out?
No, because the Board will not take objections after the final answer key is published.
