SSC Phase 13 Re-Exam 2025 Latest Updates: Answer Key, Results and Cut-off
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has successfully conducted the Phase 13 Selection Post re-exam 2025 on August 29, 2025 for nearly 59,500 candidates who were affected by technical glitches during the earlier sessions. With the re-exam now completed, candidates are eagerly waiting for the official answer key, results, and cutoff marks. Here’s the complete update as of September 3, 2025.
Why Was the SSC Phase 13 Exam Rescheduled?
The original SSC Phase 13 exam took place between July 24 and August 2, 2025, but several exam centres reported serious technical problems such as:
- Software crashes during the exam
- Biometric verification failures
- Exam centre mismatches
Complete cancellation at two centres (one in Delhi and one in Uttar Pradesh)
Due to these issues, SSC decided not to cancel the exam entirely but instead conduct a special re-exam on August 29, 2025 for all affected candidates. This move ensured fairness and transparency, giving aspirants another chance to compete.
SSC Phase 13 Re-Exam Held on August 29 :
The re-exam took place smoothly in three shifts across multiple centres in India. SSC had already released the exam city intimation slip on August 22 and the admit cards on August 26, 2025, which candidates downloaded from the official SSC website.
The test pattern remained the same:
- Mode: Computer-Based Test (CBT)
- Questions: 100 Multiple Choice Questions
- Marks: 200
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Negative Marking: 0.50 marks per wrong answer
Separate papers were conducted for Matriculation level, 10+2 level, and Graduation & above categories.
What’s Next After the Re-Exam?
Now that the re-exam has been held, the next steps in the recruitment process are:
1. Provisional Answer Key Release
SSC will release the provisional answer key and response sheet in the first week of September 2025. Candidates will be able to:
Cross-check their answers
Calculate their expected scores
Raise objections against any incorrect questions or answers (within the objection window)
2. Final Answer Key and Results
After reviewing objections, SSC will publish the final answer key and official results later in September 2025. The results will include category-wise cutoff marks for different education levels.
3. Document Verification & Next Stages
Shortlisted candidates will be called for document verification. Depending on the post, there may also be skill tests (like Typing or Data Entry). Final selection will be based on merit, post preferences, and document verification.
