The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially released the Delhi Police Constable Answer Key 2026 for the examination conducted in late 2025. Candidates who appeared for the Constable (Executive) Male and Female exams can now download their provisional answer keys and response sheets from the official website, ssc.gov.in.
However, you need to act fast. The commission has opened the download link for a very short window. If you miss the deadline, you will not be able to check your marks or raise objections.
Here is the complete guide on how to download your answer key, how to calculate your score, and the deadline for raising objections.
