SSC CGL 2026 Tier I Exam Schedule and Exam City

The recruitment covers Group B and C posts across central ministries and departments, with 12256 tentative vacancies as per the notice dated 24 September. Tier II is listed for December 2026, though exact dates have not been given. If your Tier I slot falls in the final days, download your documents today.

Follow only the timings printed on your own card.

Documents to Carry

• A printed colour copy of the admit card / call letter / schedule
• A valid original photo ID (Aadhaar / PAN / Voter ID / Driving Licence / Passport)
