Provisional Answer Key vs Final Answer Key
The provisional key was released on 5 October 2026 so candidates could compare their answers and raise objections. After reviewing the objections, GSSSB issued the final key. The final key carries corrections for some questions based on expert review and supporting documents submitted by candidates.
- Provisional key: Open to objections and meant for an estimated score.
- Final key: Reflects the board's review and is the reference for evaluation.
- Changed questions: The final key lists the Question ID, the earlier answer and the corrected answer for each affected question across shifts and dates. The total number of changed questions is Not Available Officially in this article.
If you calculated your score from the provisional key, recheck it against the final key, because even a few corrected questions can change your total.
