This is an important announcement for all candidates who appeared for the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Stenographer Grade C & D Examination 2024 (Paper-I). The window to raise objections against the provisional answer key closes today, Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at 6:00 PM IST.
The SSC released the answer key for Paper-I on December 16, 2024, allowing candidates to review the answer choices and identify any discrepancies. If you believe a particular answer marked as correct is inaccurate, you have this final opportunity to challenge it.
What is the SSC Stenographer Grade C & D Exam?
The SSC Stenographer Grade C & D Exam is a national-level competitive recruitment process conducted by the Staff Selection Commission to select candidates for stenographer positions in various central government ministries and departments. The exam comprises two papers:
- Paper-I: This is an objective-type multiple-choice question (MCQ) based paper that tests candidates’ knowledge of General English, General Awareness, and Reasoning Ability.
- Paper-II: This paper assesses shorthand writing and typing skills in English and Hindi.
Why Should You Challenge the Answer Key?
There can be several reasons why you might want to challenge the answer key:
- Error in the answer key: Sometimes, there may be a genuine mistake in the answer key where the marked answer is incorrect. By raising an objection, you can bring this to the SSC’s attention and potentially have the answer reviewed.
- Multiple plausible answers: In some cases, more than one answer choice might seem correct based on the question and available options. Challenging the answer key allows you to present your argument and supporting evidence if you believe a different answer should be considered.
- Ambiguity in the question: If the wording of a question is unclear or open to interpretation, it could lead to confusion among candidates. By challenging the answer key, you can help clarify the intended meaning of the question.
