The Staff Selection Commission has released the tentative answer key for SSC CPO 2025 Paper 1, bringing much-awaited clarity for candidates who appeared in the examination. Along with the answer key, the commission has also made the question papers and individual response sheets available online. Candidates can check their answers, calculate expected scores, and raise objections if they find any discrepancy, within the prescribed deadline.
I am writing about this update because answer key releases are a crucial stage in competitive exams like SSC CPO. Many candidates are unsure about the objection process, deadlines, and fees involved. Missing this window means losing the chance to challenge incorrect answers. Clear information at this stage helps candidates take informed action instead of relying on rumours or unofficial sources.
