SSC exam dates for November 2026 are out. The Staff Selection Commission has set three exams between 17 and 28 November. All dates sit on ssc.gov.in.
The Staff Selection Commission runs all three exams. SSC hires staff for central government jobs. This Important Notice is dated 2 November 2026.
One date needs care here. The 28 November exam is Paper-II of the 2025 Sub-Inspector cycle, only for those who already passed Paper-I.
What are the SSC exam dates in November 2026?
The SSC exam dates cover three exams. CBE means a computer-based test. Each row shows an exam and its day.
| Exam | Stage or mode | Date (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Coast Guard CGEPT (Batches 01/2027 and 02/2027) | CBE | 17 and 18 November |
| Departmental Typing Test and Stenographer Skill Test (English and Hindi), 2025 | Skill Test | 20 and 21 November |
| Delhi Police and CAPFs Sub-Inspector 2025 (Paper-II) | CBE | 28 November |
The Coast Guard paper is the CGEPT. CGEPT means the Coast Guard Enrolled Persons Test. This exam recruits Navik and Yantrik entrants.
Why is the Delhi Police SI exam dated 2025, not 2026?
The 28 November paper belongs to the 2025 Sub-Inspector exam. SI means Sub-Inspector, and CAPFs are the Central Armed Police Forces.
This Paper-II is a second test. Only those who passed Paper-I sit for it. New students do not sit on 28 November.
The 2026 Sub-Inspector exam is a different one. That Paper-I runs from 23 to 28 November 2026, under an SSC notice dated 26 October. Do not mix the two.
Who takes the Coast Guard and departmental skill tests?
The CGEPT covers Coast Guard entry batches 01/2027 and 02/2027. This test uses CBE mode on 17 and 18 November.
The typing paper is the Annual Departmental Typing Test, run in English and Hindi. Stenographer candidates sit on the same two days.
