DSSSB JE Answer Key 2026 Out: Check Raise Objection Link & Solution Key PDF

The DSSSB Junior Engineer exam is over for most candidates by now, and the next thing on everyone's mind is the answer key. 

The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board releases the DSSSB JE Answer Key 2026 after the computer-based test, and it's what candidates use to check their responses and get a realistic sense of their score before the result comes out.

Engineers Academy Publications, which brings out subject-wise books and previous year papers for JE-level exams, keeps track of this release for the same reason. 

This page walks through the overview, the marking scheme, how to work out your score, the download steps, and the objection process — in the order most candidates actually need them.

DSSSB JE Answer Key 2026 – Overview

DSSSB JE Marking Scheme and Negative Marking

Before anything else, it's worth checking the marking scheme in this exam's own notification. DSSSB doesn't keep the same scheme fixed across every recruitment cycle, so assuming it matches an older exam can throw off your estimate.

That said, the pattern most DSSSB computer-based exams follow is 0.25 marks deducted per wrong answer, with correct answers scored as per that year's paper.

When Will DSSSB JE Answer Key 2026 Be Released?

Nothing official yet. Going by how DSSSB has handled Junior Engineer exams before, the draft key tends to show up within a few weeks of the test — though it's not always exact.

Skip the unofficial dates going around on Telegram or forums. The Answer Keys section on dsssb.delhi.gov.in is the one place worth checking. When the notice comes, it usually gives the release date and the objection deadline together.

How to Calculate DSSSB JE Score

1. Count your correct answers.
2. Add up the marks for those.
3. Count the wrong ones.
4. Deduct 0.25 marks for each.
5. Subtract that from your correct-answer total.
6. That's roughly your score.

How to Download DSSSB JE Answer Key PDF

• Log in with your roll number or registration ID, if it asks.
• The key, and sometimes your response sheet, will show up.
• Check each answer carefully.
• Download the PDF and keep it somewhere safe.

How to Raise a DSSSB JE Answer Key Objection

Objections only work against the draft key. Once the final key is out, that option is gone.

It has to go through the official online link too — emails, letters, or calling a helpline won't get an objection registered.

Steps to raise an objection:

• Open the objection link once it's live.
• Log in to your account.
• Pick the question you're disputing.
• Write your reason clearly, with backup if you have it.
• Attach proof, if the portal asks for it.
• Pay the fee, if this exam has one.
• Submit before the deadline.
• Save the confirmation page.

A specific objection, backed by a source or reference, generally gets taken more seriously than a one-line complaint. DSSSB does go through these individually before locking the final key.

DSSSB JE Cut Off 2026: What the Answer Key Tells You Early

Most candidates check the answer key just for the score and stop there. It's actually useful for more than that.

A few things it can tell you early on:

• Whether your score is anywhere close to past cut-off trends.
• Which topic or subject cost you the most marks.
• Whether the next few weeks should go toward revision or new material.
• A head start on the next stage, instead of waiting around for the result.

EA Publications' subject-wise books and PYQ sets are built with exactly this in mind — going back to the topics where marks were actually lost, rather than starting preparation over from scratch.

DSSSB JE Selection Process After the Answer Key

The answer key is just one part of a longer process:

Draft Answer Key → Objection Window → Final Answer Key → Result/Merit List → Next Stage of Selection, as applicable to the post.

Candidates who use the gap between the draft key and the final result to go back over weak topics and solve previous year papers tend to walk into the next stage a step ahead of those who just wait for the result page to update.
