How to Download the OSSC CGL Mains Answer Key

  • OSSC has not yet activated the Mains answer key link. Based on the process the Commission followed for the Prelims answer key, candidates can expect a similar login-based download process once the Mains key is released:
  • Visit the official OSSC website at www.ossc.gov.in.
  • Go to the "What's New" or "Latest Updates" section on the homepage.
  • Click on the "OSSC CGL Mains Answer Key 2026" link when it becomes active.
  • Log in using your Registration Number/User ID and Password or Date of Birth.
  • The answer key and/or response sheet will open, typically in PDF format.
  • Download and save it for future reference.
  • Candidates should also keep the candidate login portal linked in their admit card handy, since OSSC has used a dedicated exam-portal login page for response sheet access in this recruitment cycle. Always cross-check any such link against the one shared in your official admit card or the ossc.gov.in notice board before entering your credentials.

Important Instructions

  • Keep your OSSC CGL Mains admit card and login credentials safe they will likely be required to access the answer key and response sheet.
  • Only rely on the official website, www.ossc.gov.in, or the specific candidate login link shared on your admit card, for the answer key.
  • Do not trust unofficial WhatsApp or Telegram forwards claiming to have the "leaked" or "confirmed" Mains answer key before OSSC's own announcement.
  • Check the marking scheme carefully once officially confirmed for the Mains stage, since the Prelims scheme (+1 for correct, -0.25 for incorrect) may not automatically apply to the Mains Main Written Examination.
