Ssc: Updates on GD Constable Exam 2026

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.

The new exam dates are set from April 27 to May 30, 2026, and will be conducted in four phases. Candidates will have the opportunity to select their preferred exam week from April 11 to April 15, 2026.

More than 25,000 vacancies have been announced for the SSC GD Constable recruitment in 2026. The exam will consist of multiple stages, including a Computer-Based Test (CBT), Physical Efficiency Test (PET), and Medical Examination.

The SSC GD exam will cover subjects such as General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics, and English or Hindi. Candidates are advised to continue their preparation and utilize the extra time effectively, as the postponement may feel uncertain but also provides a valuable chance to improve their readiness.

As part of the examination process, candidates will receive a city intimation slip 5-7 days before the exam, and the admit card will be released 2-3 days prior. The exam will be conducted in four shifts each day, with the reporting time for the first shift set at 7:45 AM and the exam starting at 9:00 AM.

In a notable update, candidates will be awarded full marks for ambiguous or incorrect questions in the exam. However, negative marking will still apply for incorrect responses as per existing rules. Ashish Srivastava noted that even a single well-supported objection may lead to acceptance, while multiple weak objections may be rejected.

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 date approaches.
