The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has issued the answer key for the Selection Post Phase 13 recruitment exam 2025. Candidates can download the SSC Phase 13 answer key 2025 along with the response sheet through the official website at ssc.gov.in.

Candidates are required to enter their application number and password to download the SSC selection post phase 13 answer key 2025. Candidates who are not satisfied with their answer key can raise objections through the official website.

The commission has introduced a new process for submitting challenges this year. After a detailed review of all examination questions, the Commission divided them into two categories: deemed challenged questions and challengeable questions.

Deemed challenged questions already addressed by SSC

The Deemed Challenged Questions are those that the SSC has suo-motu identified as requiring review. Since the Commission has already addressed these questions, candidates cannot challenge them, and no payment or action is needed on their part. Challengeable questions, where no apparent errors were found, remain open for candidate representation.

Representations against challengeable questions can be submitted online till September 30, 2025, by 6 pm. Candidates will have to pay an objection fee of Rs 50 per question or answer challenged. The commission states that candidates can view their response sheets along with tentative answer keys through the portal, but cannot download or print them.
