When Will the SSC Release the Answer Key for Tier 1 Exam?

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has conducted the Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL) 2022 Tier 1 exam from May 24th to June 10th, 2022. With the tentative answer key already released on June 22, 2022, at the official SSC website, it is now a matter of waiting for the final answer key to be released.

Based on past trends and official announcements, the final answer key can be expected to be released around mid-April 2023, most likely within the first or second week of that month. This aligns with the general pattern of SSC releasing answer keys within two weeks of the examination period.

Tentative Answer Key: The SSC has typically released the tentative answer key shortly after the exam. For CHSL 2022, the tentative answer key was published on June 22, 2022, allowing candidates to check their answers and estimate their scores.

Candidates can access the tentative answer key using their roll number, password, and date of birth. The link remains active until a specific date, which has not been finalized for CHSL 2022 but is usually a date around the month of April.

If a candidate finds any discrepancy in their answers, they can object to specific questions by filling an objection form, which incurs a fee of 100 rupees per question. This form is available until the date mentioned on the tentative answer key document.

Expected Release Date for Final Answer Key

As per the notification by SSC, response keys for earlier exams (like CGL Tier-1 2017) have been released within 20 days of the exam. Given the typical timeline, it is reasonable to expect the final answer key for CHSL 2022 Tier 1 to be released by mid-April 2023, possibly before the last week of that month.

Tier II Exam Schedule

The Tier II exam for CHSL 2022 is scheduled for July 8, 2023, approximately five months after the Tier 1 exam. Candidates are advised to prepare diligently for this stage as the final answer key (if any objections are accepted) will be available before the Tier II exam.

What to Do in the Meantime?

While waiting for the final answer key, candidates should focus on their Tier II preparation. The Tier II exam will test their aptitude and analytical skills through a more complex set of questions. Candidates should also ensure they have covered all domains thoroughly, as the answers will be released with the final key.

It is important to note that the answer provided is based on past patterns and official announcements. It is always advisable to keep an eye on the SSC official website for any updates and announcements related to the answer key and Tier II exam.

Conclusion

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) expects to release the final answer key for CHSL 2022 Tier 1 around mid-April 2023. Candidates should stay informed and prepared for the upcoming Tier II exam. Continued effort and attention to official announcements will ensure a successful outcome.
