More about the SSC exam dates postponed to 2026

The commission has confirmed that the exam will not take place on the originally planned dates, but it has not given a specific explanation for the postponement. The commission has stated that there will not be a slot booking option for the SSC GD Constable 2026 exam, in contrast to some previous SSC exams.

 

Candidates will not be able to select the city, shift, or date of their choice for the exam. Rather, SSC will automatically assign exam cities and shifts to candidates as soon as the updated schedule is made public.

 

A computer-based test (CBT) encompassing important topics like general awareness, elementary mathematics, general intelligence and reasoning, and English language is part of the selection process.
