The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) dropped the answer keys on 10 August 2026. And they're covering 19 different positions. If you sat for any of these exams in July, this is the moment you've been waiting for since exam day.
The objection window? It's closing fast. You've got until 15 August 2026 to raise any concerns about the answer keys. That's only a few days from now, so if you spotted any potential errors, don't wait around.
What Just Happened: The Timeline
On 10 August 2026, DSSSB's Secret Cell issued a "Most Urgent" notice marked F.10(278)/Sec.Cell/DSSSB/2018/Pt.File/432. The board released answer keys for online computer-based examinations held across July for 19 distinct posts. This is a big deal because it directly affects thousands of aspiring government employees in Delhi.
Here's the critical part: the objection filing window opened the same day (10 August) and closes on 15 August 2026. So you're in the middle of that period right now. If you think a particular answer in your exam was wrong, or if the official key contradicts what you know is correct, you need to file an objection before the deadline passes.

How to Check Your Answer Key
The process is straightforward, but you need to know where to look. Head to the official DSSSB website at dsssb.delhi.gov.in. Once you're there, find the answer key link for your specific post.
You'll need to select two things: your post name and your post code. Match them carefully to the list above. The board's provided a help file on the answer key page itself that walks you through submitting objections, so don't skip reading that.
The answer keys are released post-wise. So if you applied for Forest Guard, look for Forest Guard specifically. Don't assume one answer key fits all positions, because it doesn't.
Filing an Objection: Do You Need To?
Here's where it gets real. An objection is basically a formal complaint saying "Hey, I think this answer is wrong." You file it only if you genuinely believe the official answer key contains an error.
But here's the thing: not every objection gets accepted. DSSSB reviews them carefully. If your objection has merit, they'll reconsider. If multiple candidates raise the same objection for one question, that carries more weight.
The window closes on 15 August 2026. After that, no more objections will be accepted. So if you're thinking you might want to challenge something, do it before that date passes.
What Comes After This?
After the objection window closes, DSSSB will review all objections received. Then they'll finalize the answer keys. The final answer keys form the basis for evaluation. Your raw score gets calculated based on those final keys.
The timeline isn't always publicly announced in advance, but generally you can expect results within 4-6 weeks after objection closure. That means you're looking at late September or early October for final results on most of these posts.

Who Should Be Checking This?
If you appeared for any DSSSB exam in July 2026, this applies to you. That includes candidates who applied for positions like Delhi government jobs through DSSSB.
Even if you're not 100% certain about your answers, it doesn't hurt to download the answer key, check your responses, and see if anything stands out. You might spot an error you hadn't considered.
A Quick Reality Check
Sometimes aspirants panic after seeing the answer key, thinking they've failed. But remember: the DSSSB sets cutoff marks based on overall performance. If the exam was tough, cutoffs adjust. A lower raw score doesn't automatically mean elimination. Wait for results before you assume the worst.
That said, if you genuinely believe there's an error in the answer key, file an objection. There's no penalty for doing so, and it's your right as a candidate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an objection in DSSSB answer key context?

Will filing an objection delay my results?
