The SSC GD Constable examination has become a highly competitive recruitment process due to the significant number of vacancies and the large number of applicants. Originally scheduled for February 23, 2026, the exam has now been postponed.
The new exam dates are set from April 27 to May 30, 2026, and will be conducted in four phases. Candidates will have the opportunity to select their preferred exam week between April 11 and April 15, 2026.
More than 25,000 vacancies have been announced for the SSC GD Constable recruitment, making this a crucial opportunity for many. The exam will consist of multiple stages, including a Computer-Based Test (CBT), Physical Efficiency Test (PET), and Medical Examination.
Subjects covered in the SSC GD exam include General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics, and English or Hindi. Candidates will receive a city intimation slip 5-7 days before the exam, while the admit card will be released 2-3 days prior.
In a statement, officials emphasized, “Candidates should continue preparation and utilize the extra time effectively.” They noted that the postponement may feel uncertain but provides a valuable chance to improve preparation.
Additionally, candidates will be awarded full marks for ambiguous or incorrect questions in the exam, while negative marking will still apply for incorrect responses as per existing rules. The exam will be conducted in four shifts each day, with the first shift reporting time set for 7:45 AM and the exam starting at 9:00 AM.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact schedule for the SSC GD exam shifts and the specific date for the release of the admit card. Observers are keenly awaiting further announcements from the Staff Selection Commission as the new exam date approaches.
