The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is set to release the answer key for the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination 2025, also known as CHSL Tier 1. This is an important update for all students who appeared for this government job exam. Candidates can expect to find their answer key and their personal response sheets very soon, likely by this week or the next week of December 2025 .
These key documents will be available for download on the official SSC website: ssc.gov.in . The CHSL exam is a major national test held to recruit candidates for various Group C government posts. These include roles like Lower Division Clerk (LDC), Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA), Postal Assistant (PA), Sorting Assistant (SA), and Data Entry Operator (DEO). For the CHSL 2025 recruitment, the SSC aims to fill a total of 3,131 vacant positions. The Tier 1 exam, which is the first stage of this selection process, concluded on November 30, 2025 .
The provisional answer key allows students to check their answers against the official correct solutions. Alongside the answer key, candidates will also receive their individual response sheets. These sheets show the answers each student marked during the exam. By comparing these two, students can get a good estimate of their raw scores. This step helps them understand their performance before the final results are announced.
