The Odisha Staff Selection Commission (OSSC) has released the provisional answer key for the Preliminary Examination of the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level or Equivalent Recruitment Examination for Specialist Posts/Services-2025. This is the “CHSL Specialist” exam under Advertisement No. 728/OSSC dated 02.03.2026, not the general OSSC CHSL. The prelims were held on 25.09.2026. If you wrote this paper, now is the time to match your answers with the key and spot any question where you think the Commission got it wrong. More Odisha government jobs updates are on our site too.
The objection window is very short. OSSC’s notice dated 01.10.2026 says objections must be registered by 04.10.2026 positively, so please do not wait for the last evening. You log in with your Roll Number as the User ID and your date of birth (DDMMYYYY) as the password. In this article, GovtJobsAlert.in explains what the notice says, who can object, how to do it step by step, and the rules OSSC has set for objections.

Who Can Raise Objections Against the OSSC CHSL Specialist Posts 2025 Answer Key?
The notice is addressed to candidates who appeared in the Preliminary Examination held on 25.09.2026. If you sat for this paper, you can view the key and register an objection on any answer you believe is wrong.
The notice talks only about the answer key and objections. It does not repeat the educational qualification, upper age or other eligibility conditions of the recruitment. Those were set in Advertisement No. 728/OSSC, which you already followed when you applied. As the exam name says, this is a 10+2 level examination, so it also sits with our wider list of 12th pass government jobs.
Does the OSSC CHSL Specialist Answer Key Notice Give Vacancy and Salary Details?
Many readers ask about the number of posts and the pay at this stage. Please note that this answer key notice does not state the vacancy count or the salary for the Specialist Posts/Services. It deals only with the provisional answer key and the objection process.
For post-wise vacancies and pay, refer to the original Advertisement No. 728/OSSC dated 02.03.2026 on the OSSC website. We have not added any figure here that the notice itself does not give, because a wrong number at this stage helps nobody.
Which Selection Process Stage Does the OSSC CHSL Specialist Answer Key Cover?
This answer key is for the Preliminary Examination only. The notice calls it a provisional answer key and invites objections by a set date.

| Preliminary Examination | Held on 25.09.2026 |
| Provisional Answer Key | Link in the “What’s New” section of the OSSC website |

How to Apply for Objections Against the OSSC CHSL Specialist Posts 2025 Answer Key?
The notice says the link for the Model Answer Key is in the “What’s New” section of the Commission’s website, and objections are registered with your Roll Number and date of birth. Follow these steps:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the answer key and objection login page (link in Essential Links below), or go to the “What’s New” section of the OSSC website |
| 2 | Enter your Roll Number as the User ID |
| 3 | Enter your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format as the password (for example, 05 March 2004 becomes 05032004) |
| 4 | Check the provisional answer for every question against the answer you marked |
| 5 | For any answer you think is wrong, register your objection through this link |
| 6 | Finish by 04.10.2026 and keep a screenshot or printout of what you submitted |
Before you start, keep your admit card nearby so that you type the correct Roll Number. Write your date of birth as eight digits with no dashes or slashes, exactly in the DDMMYYYY order the notice gives. You can also follow every OSSC key on our answer keys page.
What Are the OSSC Rules for Answer Key Objections?
OSSC has set out clear rules for objections in the notice. These matter more than anything else on this page:
| Rule in the Notice | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| An objection is decided on merit | A strong, correct reason matters, not how many people complain |
| The number of persons filing objections has no bearing on the outcome | A crowd filing the same objection does not change the decision |
| No need to repeat an objection already filed, unless you add new facts or arguments | Only file if you have your own point to make |
| Unsolicited queries or objections raised by other means will not be entertained | Emails, letters or messages outside the link are of no use |
| Objections registered in the designated link only will be considered | Use only the official objection link |
So the smartest approach is simple. If you are sure an answer is wrong, write a clear and specific objection with your reasoning. Do not copy-paste someone else’s objection without adding anything new, because the notice says it is not needed. And never send your objection by any other route, because OSSC has said those will not be entertained.
