SSC Stenographer 2026 Marks Calculator (Response Sheet)
Choose your saved Steno Grade C & D 2026 response sheet and get attempted, correct and wrong answers and marks for each part, with your total out of 200.
SSC held the Steno 2026 CBT on 09.09.2026 to 12.09.2026 and 15.09.2026, and opened response sheets with tentative keys on 23.09.2026; the challenge window closed on 26.09.2026 (23:00). Use the copy you saved then.
Or paste the page source instead (computer)
Open your response sheet, press Ctrl+U (Cmd+Option+U on a Mac), select all with Ctrl+A, copy, and paste it here. A link will not work: SSC's response-sheet pages cannot be read by another website from your browser.
Pre-filled with the official scheme: +1 for a correct answer, −0.25 for a wrong answer. Change it only if SSC/RRB changes the marking.
Privacy: your file never leaves your device. It is read by your own browser; nothing is uploaded or stored, and your name and roll number are not read.
Your marks (raw score)
| Section | Attempted | Correct | Wrong | Not attempted | Marks |
|---|
This is your raw score from the tentative key printed on your sheet. Final marks can change after SSC/RRB revises the key, and multi-shift exams are normalised.

FAQs
What is the marking scheme of SSC Stenographer 2026?
The CBT has 200 questions for 200 marks, so each correct answer gets 1 mark. 0.25 marks are deducted for each wrong answer (Steno 2026 notice, Para 13.3).
When was the SSC Steno 2026 answer key released?
SSC uploaded the tentative keys with response sheets on 23.09.2026. Challenges were accepted from 23.09.2026 (23:00) to 26.09.2026 (23:00) at ₹50 per question.
Is the same calculator valid for Grade C and Grade D?
Yes. Grade C and Grade D candidates write the same CBT with the same marking; the cut-offs are separate.
Is the skill test counted here?
No. The stenography skill test is qualifying and is not part of these marks. This calculator covers only the computer based examination.
Is my response sheet uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is opened and read by your own browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent to BookOfExams or anyone else, nothing is stored, and the calculator does not read your name, roll number or photo.
Why can't I paste my response-sheet link?
The commission's pages cannot be read from another website in your browser, and sending your link to a server would expose your sheet. Save the page and choose the file, or on a computer press Ctrl+U on the sheet, copy the page source and paste it into the box above. Either way everything stays on your device.
Can I upload the PDF of my response sheet?
Not yet. In a PDF the green, red and yellow marks are colours or small pictures, not text, so they cannot be read reliably. Save the sheet as a web page (.html or .mhtml) instead.
Is this my final score?
It is your raw score on the tentative answer key printed on your sheet. The final key can change answers or drop questions, and exams held in several shifts are normalised, so your final marks can differ.
The number of questions looks wrong. What should I do?
Check that you saved the page with all your questions, not the login or instructions page. If the sheet opened in parts, save every part and choose all the files together.
