If you’ve applied for Grade C or D, mark your calendar: exams run from September 9 to 12, 2026. That’s just weeks away. Admit cards will drop about a week before; so don’t wait till the last minute to check ssc.gov.in. This isn’t just another government exam; it’s your shot at 1,170 vacancies, offline only, for those who’ve cleared Class 12 and can type at least 55-60 WPM. Cutoffs? General needs 30%, others 25%. But here’s the catch; the real test comes after the CBT: the skill test. Many clear the written, but fail the typing or shorthand. Start practicing NOW. Don’t let your dream job slip because you waited too long to download your admit card or sharpen your typing. The exam is here. Are you ready?
