The exam has been postponed, and new dates are yet to be announced. This announcement from the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has left many candidates in a state of uncertainty regarding the SSC GD Constable Exam 2026.
Originally scheduled for February 23, 2026, the exam will now take place from April 27 to May 30, 2026, conducted in four phases. This change comes as the SSC aims to accommodate the large number of applicants, which is expected to exceed 48 lakh this year.
Candidates will have the opportunity to select their preferred exam week between April 11 and April 15, 2026. However, it is important to note that submitting a preference does not guarantee allocation to the chosen week.
In light of the postponement, candidates are encouraged to continue their preparations. As one official noted, “Candidates should continue preparation and utilize the extra time effectively.” This additional time may prove beneficial for those looking to enhance their skills and knowledge ahead of the exam.
The SSC GD Constable recruitment for 2026 has announced more than 25,000 vacancies across various forces, including the BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, Assam Rifles, SSF, and NCB. The selection process will include a Computer-Based Test (CBT), Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Physical Standard Test (PST), and a medical examination.
The exam itself will consist of objective-type questions covering General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics, and English or Hindi. Candidates are advised to check their exam city through the city intimation slip before the admit card is released, which is expected to be available approximately 3 to 5 days before the exam.
The postponement of SSC GD Constable 2026 may feel uncertain, but it also provides a valuable chance to improve preparation. As the exam dates approach, candidates should remain focused and make the most of the time available to them.
