The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is set to conclude the objection submission process against the provisional answer key for the Stenographer Grade ‘C’ and ‘D’ Examination 2025. Candidates can submit challenges online at ssc.gov.in until 6 PM today, August 25, 2025.
The computer-based examination (CBE) for SSC Stenographer was conducted from August 6 to 11, 2025. The commission has also announced a major revision in its fee structure for answer key objections. Candidates will now have to pay ₹50 per question challenged, reduced from the earlier ₹100.
According to the SSC notification, “Representations in respect of the tentative Answer Keys, if any, may be submitted online from 22.08.2025 (06:00PM) to 25.08.2025 (06:00PM) on payment of Rs. 50/- per question per answer challenged. In this regard the candidates may note that the fee for challenge has been reduced from earlier Rs.100/- to Rs.50/-. Representations received after 25.08.2025 (06:00PM) will not be entertained under any circumstances.”
Steps to Raise Objections
The SSC is also working on a refund mechanism, where the objection fee will be reimbursed if a candidate’s challenge is accepted. Until then, the revised fee of ₹50 per question will remain applicable.
Candidates are advised to download and print their response sheets, as they will not be available after the deadline.
