Staff Selection Commission fixed the November–December 2026 windows for three big exams. Junior Engineer Paper‑I runs November 2 to 6, Sub‑Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces runs November 20 to 28, and Combined Higher Secondary Level Tier‑I runs November 30 to December 31. The October 1 notice calls these proposed dates.
The long calendar demands planning beyond syllabus. City intimation typically appears about two weeks before your individual test date, while the admit card follows closer to the day. Build buffers for batch-wise releases across a month-long window. These timelines mirror SSC’s standard practice across notices and regional FAQs.

Below is the proposed timetable from the October 1 schedule notice. All three tests will be Computer Based Examinations. Your exact date and shift will be printed on the admit card issued by the concerned regional office. Track updates only through ssc.gov.in and regional portals.
| Examination | Dates | Mode | Shifts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Junior Engineer (JE) Paper‑I | Nov 2–6, 2026 | Computer Based Examination | Multiple shifts; slot on admit card |
| Delhi Police & CAPF Sub‑Inspector | Nov 20–28, 2026 | Computer Based Examination | Multiple shifts; slot on admit card |
| CHSL Tier‑I | Nov 30–Dec 31, 2026 | Computer Based Examination | Multiple shifts; slot on admit card |
Expect city slips about two weeks before your allotted date; early JE slots may see releases in mid to late October. Admit cards generally arrive three to seven days before the exam, and some notices specify two to three days. Always verify on your regional portal first.
Reach as per reporting time; many regions close gates 30 minutes before, with reporting often 90 minutes prior. Carry a clear admit‑card print, original photo ID with matching date of birth, and two recent photographs if not Aadhaar‑authenticated. Allowed IDs include Aadhaar, Passport, PAN, Voter ID, and Driving Licence.
Map these dates against state PSC, banking, and university schedules. Use the city slip to block travel with refundable options and book nearby stay for morning shifts. SSC does not entertain exam date or centre change requests, so avoid tight connections and build buffers around reporting and gate‑closing times.
Next steps: set alerts for ssc.gov.in and your regional portal, then watch for city slip and admit card in batches through November and December. Keep IDs, photographs, and proofs ready, and rehearse exam‑day logistics. Treat the schedule as proposed until the admit card confirms your slot.
