SSC CGL 2026 Tier-I Exam Date AnnouncedExam Date

The Staff Selection Commission has announced, in an important notice dated 12 September 2026, that Tier-I of the Combined Graduate Level Examination 2026 will be held in Computer Based Examination mode in a window running from 30 September 2026 to 30 October 2026.

An exam window of that length does not mean a single sitting. SSC runs Tier-I over many days and shifts across the country, and each candidate is assigned one date, one shift and one centre from within that window. The commission normally releases an exam city intimation slip a few days before the assigned date, and the admit card closer to the examination, both through the regional SSC websites and the candidate portal.

For candidates, the practical effect of this notice is that revision time is now fixed and the last stretch of preparation should be planned against the earliest date in the window rather than the latest, since your own date could fall anywhere inside it. Keep the login details for your one-time registration to hand, watch ssc.gov.in for the city intimation and admit card notices, and do not rely on an unofficial date circulating elsewhere.
