GSSSB Releases Provisional Answer Key for CCE Preliminary Exam 2026

The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB) has published the provisional answer key for the Combined Competitive Examination (CCE) Preliminary Exam 2026. Candidates who participated in the computer-based test can now verify their answers against this key. Additionally, response sheets have also been made accessible to the candidates. Both the answer key and response sheets can be found on the official website of the Board.

**Total Posts for Recruitment**

This examination aimed to fill 7,338 Class-3 positions across Group-A and Group-B categories. The CCE Preliminary Exam took place in multiple shifts from September 17 to September 28, 2026. Candidates can now evaluate their performance preliminarily using the provisional answer key.

**Advantages of the Provisional Answer Key**

The provisional answer key allows candidates to compare their marked answers with the official ones, helping them estimate their potential scores. However, it is important to note that these scores are not final. The actual results will be determined based on the Board's evaluation process and the final answer key.

**Final Answer Key Release Date**

Candidates will be invited to submit objections regarding the provisional answer key. If any candidate has concerns about a specific question or answer, they can raise it within the designated timeframe. The Board will review all objections, and if necessary, adjustments will be made to the final answer key, which will be released subsequently.

**Steps to Download the Answer Key**

To access the answer key and response sheets, candidates should visit the official GSSSB website. They need to locate the section for the relevant answer key on the homepage. By clicking on the link for the CCE Group-A and Group-B Preliminary Examination 2026, candidates must enter their confirmation number and date of birth before submitting. The answer key and response sheet will then be displayed on the screen.

**Raising Objections**

Candidates who believe there are inaccuracies in the answer key can submit objections within the specified timeframe. It is essential to follow the guidelines provided by the Board for this process. Candidates should check the official website for details regarding objection deadlines and procedures. All significant updates regarding future recruitment stages and results will also be available on the Board's website.

Candidates should not treat the estimated scores from the provisional answer key as the final outcome. The final answer key may change after reviewing objections. Therefore, it is advisable for candidates to keep copies of their response sheets and the provisional answer key for future reference.
