The SSC GD Constable examination has become a highly competitive recruitment process due to the significant number of vacancies and the large number of applicants. Originally scheduled for February 23, 2026, the exam has now been postponed, with new dates set from April 27 to May 30, 2026. The examination will be conducted in four phases, allowing candidates to select their preferred exam week between April 11 and April 15, 2026.
More than 25,000 vacancies have been announced for the SSC GD Constable recruitment 2026, attracting a vast pool of candidates. The exam consists of multiple stages, including a Computer-Based Test (CBT), Physical Efficiency Test (PET), and Medical Examination. Subjects covered in the exam include General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics, and English or Hindi.
In light of the postponement, candidates are encouraged to continue their preparation effectively. “Candidates should continue preparation and utilize the extra time effectively,” officials stated. The delay may feel uncertain, but it also provides a valuable chance to improve preparation.
As the exam approaches, candidates will receive a city intimation slip 5-7 days before the exam, with the admit card released 2-3 days prior. The SSC GD Constable exam will be conducted in four shifts each day, with the first shift starting at 9:00 AM and a reporting time of 7:45 AM.
Notably, candidates will be awarded full marks for ambiguous or incorrect questions in the exam. “Candidates will be awarded full marks for questions found to be ambiguous, incorrect or those lacking a correct option in the answer key,” a spokesperson confirmed. However, negative marking will still apply for incorrect responses as per existing rules.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact schedule for the SSC GD exam shifts and the specific date for the release of the admit card. Observers are closely monitoring the situation as the new exam dates approach.
