Candidates must have passed Class 12 from a recognised board. The age limit is 18–27 years, with relaxations for reserved categories under Government rules. Keep scanned photo and signature ready to SSC size and format norms, plus category, domicile, and disability certificates as applicable. Mismatch leads to rejection.
Create or update your One Time Registration profile, verify mobile and email, and submit personal details. Upload a recent colour photograph and signature as per size norms. Choose CHSL 2026 under ‘Latest Notifications’, preview entries, pay fee if applicable, then submit. Download the final application and payment receipt.
Tier‑I is a computer‑based test with four sections and negative marking of 0.50 per wrong answer. Tier‑II combines objective modules with Skill Test or Typing Test, depending on the post. Scores are normalised across shifts. Build typing speed early; last‑minute practice rarely changes outcomes. Use official mock tests to check timing.
SSC has notified 2,536 tentative vacancies for this cycle. The category‑wise breakup appears in the notice and may be revised as user departments update data. Expect most posts at Pay Level‑2, with Data Entry Operator roles at higher levels in select offices. Recheck vacancy updates on the portal. Set reminders for October 7 and start document checks today.
