SSC CGLE Tier-I answer key 2025: The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has extended the deadline for submitting challenges against the tentative answer keys of the Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGLE) Tier-I, 2025. Candidates can now raise objections until 11:00 AM on October 21, instead of the earlier deadline of 9:00 PM on October 19. This extension provides additional time for candidates to review and contest the answers on the official SSC website.

The CGLE Tier-I exam was conducted across various centres nationwide from September 12 to September 26, 2025, with an additional day on October 14, 2025. The tentative answer keys and candidates’ response sheets were uploaded on October 16, 2025, for candidates to access and verify their responses.

Access and challenge process for tentative answer keys

The tentative answer keys and response sheets are available online at https://ssc.gov.in. Candidates can log in using their registration number and password to view their individual responses alongside the tentative answers released by the Commission. The SSC has highlighted that the order of questions and options in the challenge module differs from the original exam sequence. This arrangement ensures uniformity for all candidates within a specific shift.


Challenges against the answer keys can be submitted online with a fee of Rs. 50 per question. This fee is mandatory for every question a candidate wishes to contest. Challenges submitted after the extended deadline or through any mode other than the online portal will not be accepted under any circumstances.


Important guidelines for candidates

Candidates should note that the saved question paper is strictly for personal use and self-analysis only. When accessing the challenge portal, candidates must agree to an undertaking confirming this restriction. The SSC will not entertain any individual requests for providing response sheets or tentative answer keys beyond the specified timeline.
