GSSSB CCE provisional answer key released for 7,338 posts; raise objections by 12 October 2026

The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB) released the provisional answer key for the Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) Preliminary Exam 2026 on October 5, 2026. This key is available on the official website, gsssb.gujarat.gov.in, for candidates who appeared in the computer-based examination.

The CCE Preliminary Examination 2026 was conducted for the recruitment of 7,338 Class-III posts across Group-A and Group-B categories. Candidates can use the provisional key to cross-check their responses and estimate their performance before the final results are declared.

Accessing the Provisional Key and Response Sheet

Candidates can access the provisional answer key and their individual response sheets by visiting the official GSSSB website. To log in, candidates are required to enter their Confirmation Number and Date of Birth. The response sheet displays the answers marked by a candidate during the examination, allowing for a direct comparison with the provisional answer key.

The GSSSB CCE Preliminary Examination 2026 was conducted in multiple shifts over a period from September 17 to September 28, 2026. The release of the provisional key serves as an interim step in the evaluation process.

Objection Window and Final Answer Key

The objection window for the provisional answer key commenced on October 5, 2026, at 11 PM and will remain open until October 12, 2026. Candidates who identify discrepancies in the provisional key can raise objections during this period. This is a big deal for candidates to provide required supporting information or documents when submitting an objection, as an objection without proper support may not lead to a change in the answer key.

After the objection window closes, the GSSSB will review all submitted objections. The final answer key is expected to be prepared after the board examines these objections, and any necessary changes will be reflected in the final key. Candidates should note that the provisional answer key is not the final answer key and should not treat scores calculated from it as their final scores. The eventual result will be based on the evaluation process adopted by GSSSB after considering the applicable final answer key.

Vacancy Details for CCE 2026

The Combined Competitive Examination 2026 aims to fill a total of 7,338 Class-III vacancies. These vacancies are distributed across two categories: Group-A and Group-B posts. The recruitment drive is a significant opportunity for candidates seeking government employment in Gujarat.

The next major update following the objection review will be related to the GSSSB CCE Preliminary Result 2026. Candidates are advised to rely only on the official board website, gsssb.gujarat.gov.in, for the final schedule, objection instructions, and subsequent result-related announcements.
