WBSSC Releases Provisional Answer Keys for 2026 Group C and D Examinations
The West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) has officially published the provisional answer keys for the Group C and Group D recruitment examinations on its authorized portal. This significant development enables all candidates who participated in these competitive tests to access and review the correct responses in PDF format.
Key Details and Download Process
The answer keys were formally released on April 2, 2026, providing examinees with the opportunity to compute their anticipated scores well before the final results are announced. These documents contain the accurate answers corresponding to each question paper series from the respective examinations.
For the Group D examination, which was conducted on March 8, 2026, to fill 5,489 vacancies, the provisional answer key has been made available for all series: A, B, C, and D. Candidates can conveniently download the PDF files by selecting the appropriate answer key links prominently displayed on the WBSSC homepage.
Examination Marking Scheme and Score Calculation
The evaluation methodology for both Group C and Group D examinations follows a straightforward pattern. Each correct answer earns one mark, with absolutely no negative marking for incorrect responses. The Group D examination carries a total of 40 marks.
Candidates can easily calculate their expected scores by simply counting their correct answers. For instance, if an examinee attempted 35 questions and answered 30 correctly while getting five wrong, their calculated score would be 30, as no marks are deducted for incorrect responses.
Objection Submission Window Now Open
Since the answer keys are provisional, WBSSC has established an objection window throughout April 2026. Candidates who identify any discrepancies or have concerns about specific answers can formally submit their objections by following the detailed instructions provided on the official website.
This transparency mechanism represents a crucial aspect of the examination process, allowing candidates to verify correct answers regardless of whether they attempted particular questions during the test.
Group C Examination Particulars
The commission has simultaneously released the answer key for the Group C examination, which was held on March 1, 2026. This recruitment drive aims to fill 723 vacancies, with answer keys available in PDF format for all question paper series.
According to the official notification, question number 31 has been removed from evaluation as it was found to be incorrect during the results preparation phase. Similar to Group D, the marking scheme for Group C awards one mark per correct answer without any negative marking.
The publication of these provisional answer keys marks a significant milestone in WBSSC's recruitment process for 2026, ensuring greater transparency and providing candidates with valuable insights into their performance before the final results declaration.
