The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) has officially released the preliminary answer key for several recruitment examinations conducted in mid-February 2026. This significant development allows candidates who participated in the selection process for various government positions to review their performance and raise concerns if necessary.
Examinations Covered and Important Dates
The board conducted online examinations for multiple posts on February 16 and 17, 2026. The specific examinations for which draft answer keys are now available include:
- Despatch Rider/Process Server (Post Code 54/25) – February 16, 2026
- Chauffeur (Post Code 53/25) – February 16, 2026
- Senior Scientific Assistant (Microbiology) (Post Code 18/25) – February 16, 2026

Candidates who appeared for these positions can now access the draft answer keys through the official DSSSB portal. The objection submission window remains open from February 20 to February 25, 2026, providing a limited timeframe for candidates to challenge any answers they believe to be incorrect.
How to Access and Download the Answer Key
Prospective government employees can follow these straightforward steps to obtain their draft answer keys:
- Visit the official DSSSB website at dsssb.delhi.gov.in
- Locate and click on the "Answer Key" link prominently displayed on the homepage
- Select the appropriate post code corresponding to the examination you appeared for
- If required, log in using your registered application number and date of birth
- View, verify, and download the draft answer key for your records
The board has emphasized that candidates should carefully review the answer key against their responses to estimate their probable scores accurately.
Objection Submission Process and Guidelines
DSSSB has established a formal procedure for candidates who wish to challenge any answers in the draft key. The board has made it clear that all objections must be submitted exclusively through the official online portal during the designated window. No offline requests or submissions through alternative channels will be entertained under any circumstances.
To assist candidates in this process, DSSSB has provided a comprehensive help file on their website detailing the correct procedure for filing objections. This resource aims to minimize errors and ensure that all concerns are properly documented and considered.
Following the closure of the objection window on February 25, 2026, the board will review all submitted challenges and subsequently release a final answer key. This finalized version will serve as the definitive reference for calculating examination scores and determining the final results of the recruitment process.
Candidates are strongly advised to act promptly and submit any objections well before the deadline, as the board will not accept challenges after the specified closing date.
