The Gujarat Subordinate Service Selection Board (GSSSB), Gandhinagar, has released the Provisional Answer Key cum Response Sheet for the Computer Based Recruitment Test (CBRT) conducted for seven Class-3 posts – largely under the Special Recruitment Campaign for Divyang (differently-abled) candidates – covering Assistant Librarian, Jamadar, Forester, Additional Assistant Engineer (Electrical), Junior Pharmacist, Surveyor, and Supervisor Instructor (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Group). Candidates who appeared for these CBRTs can now log in to the candidate portal using their Advertisement Number, Confirmation Number and Date of Birth to view their individual response sheet alongside the provisional answer key, and raise objections within the window specified in the official GSSSB notice.
Important – Read Before You Check: Two things that determine whether your objection is accepted. First, the response sheet and provisional answer key are candidate-specific and login-protected – they are not available as a public PDF download; you must log in using your own credentials from the relevant advertisement to view your individual question paper, recorded responses and the provisional correct answers. Second, objections must be submitted within the window stated in your official GSSSB notice – the objection portal and deadline are typically mentioned in the notice issued alongside the answer key release, and submissions by email, post or any offline method are not entertained; confirm your deadline from the GSSSB website and submit well before it closes.

What the Provisional Answer Key Contains
The GSSSB candidate portal provides each candidate with their individual response sheet showing the question paper they received along with the option they marked for each question, and the provisional correct answer for each question set against it. This allows candidates to compare their marked response against the provisional key for every question, identify questions where their answer differs from the key, calculate an expected score, and prepare specific objections with supporting material before the deadline.
Each candidate’s response sheet is unique as GSSSB CBRTs use randomised question ordering. The response sheet for your exam shows your specific question sequence, so cross-referencing with a general answer key PDF from an external source may give inaccurate results – always use the login portal for your individual sheet.
How to View the Response Sheet and Provisional Answer Key
- Open the candidate login portal – the direct link is in the Important Links table below.
- Enter your Advertisement Number for the specific post you appeared for.
- Enter your Confirmation Number from your application.
- Enter your Date of Birth.
- Enter the captcha code shown on screen.
- Click Login.
- Navigate to the “Candidate Response” section.
- Your question paper with your marked responses and the provisional answer key will appear on screen.
- Use the Print option or browser print-to-PDF to save your complete response sheet as a PDF.

How to Raise an Objection
GSSSB accepts objections only through the same candidate portal, within the window stated in the official notice. The general process:
- Log in to the portal using your credentials.
- Identify the Question ID of the question you wish to challenge from your response sheet.
- Select the question and enter your objection, citing the correct answer you believe is right.
- Upload documentary proof in support of your objection – GSSSB typically requires a reference from a standard textbook, official guideline or authoritative source.
- Submit the objection before the deadline. Late submissions are not accepted.
A panel of subject experts reviews all valid objections before GSSSB issues the Final Answer Key. Questions where objections are accepted may result in answer corrections or cancellation of that question. Cancelled questions are typically awarded marks to all candidates as per GSSSB’s standard practice.
Important Instructions
- This is a provisional answer key and may change after objection review. Do not treat it as final for score calculation.
- Save your response sheet immediately after logging in – the portal may close after the objection window ends.
- Objections are accepted online only. No offline, email or postal objection is entertained.
- Each post has a separate advertisement number – ensure you log in with the correct advertisement number for the post you appeared for.
- The Final Answer Key, released after objection processing, supersedes the provisional key and is the basis for the result.
