Overview
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially cancelled the self-slot booking process for the Constable (General Duty) Examination 2026 and postponed the exam until further notice. An official notice released on February 17, 2026, confirms the decision, superseding earlier announcements about a slot booking window and revised exam dates.
Timeline of Events
A sequence of announcements has created confusion for aspirants.
- Original Schedule: The SSC GD Constable exam was initially scheduled to commence on February 23, 2026.
- Postponement & Revised Dates: The exam was officially postponed. Some sources indicated revised exam weeks spanning from late April to late May 2026, with a corresponding slot booking window from April 11 to 15, 2026.
- Official Cancellation: The Commission's notice on February 17, 2026, has now cancelled the self-slot booking facility entirely and deferred the examination.
What Should Aspirants Do Now
Given the official notice, candidates must adopt a revised approach.
- Stop Slot Booking Attempts: The self-slot selection link will not be activated. Do not attempt to book a slot.
- Monitor Official Website: The only source of accurate information is the official SSC website: ssc.gov.in. Check it regularly for the official notification announcing the fresh exam dates.
- Focus on Preparation: Use the additional time to strengthen your preparation. The exam pattern and syllabus for the computer-based test remain unchanged.
- Await Official Allotment: Once new dates are announced, the Commission will systematically assign exam cities, dates, and shifts to candidates. You will not be able to choose them.
- Download Correct Documents: Closer to the new exam date, download your Exam City Slip (for travel planning) and later your formal Admit Card (for exam hall entry) from the regional SSC websites using your registration credentials.
Selection Process
The selection process for SSC GD Constable, once the exam is rescheduled, is expected to follow the standard stages:
