The SSC exam dates cover three tests from November 17 to 28, 2026. The Coast Guard test runs November 17 and 18. The departmental typing test follows on November 20 and 21. Delhi Police SI Paper-II is on November 28.
The Staff Selection Commission issued the notice on November 2, 2026. Its file number is HQ-EC033/7/2025-EC. An Under Secretary to the Government of India signed it.
One date has slipped badly. The typing test is for the 2025 session. SSC Central Region had listed it for the first week of March 2026.
Paper-II on November 28 is a small field. Only 10,676 candidates cleared the physical tests. The Commission had called 48,387 candidates for them.
Which exams do the new SSC exam dates cover?
Three exams sit on this schedule. The Coast Guard Enrolled Persons Test covers batches 01/2027 and 02/2027. It is a computer-based exam on November 17 and 18.
Next come the skill tests. The Annual Departmental Typing Test and Stenographer Skill Test run on November 20 and 21. Both are held in English and Hindi.
Sub-Inspector Paper-II comes last, on November 28. The notice ties it to the 2025 exam. It is not the 2026 recruitment.
What does the SSC notice leave out?
The notice is one page long. It gives no admit card date. It gives no exam city slip date either.
Shift timings are missing. So are reporting times and the centre list. The notice asks candidates to check the Commission website often.
That website is ssc.gov.in. Admit cards and exam city slips come as separate notices there. The November 2 notice promised neither by a date.

Paper-I ran from December 9 to 12, 2025. The Paper-I result came on March 30, 2026. Paper-II now lands almost a year after Paper-I.
What is in the Coast Guard CGEPT exam on November 17?
Stage-I is a computer-based exam. It carries 100 questions of one mark each, in one hour. There is no negative marking.
SC and ST candidates pass Stage-I at 35 marks. Everyone else needs 40. Stage-II adds a physical fitness test at Coast Guard centres.
The two batches carry 365 posts. Applications closed on October 21, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. IST. The fee was Rs 550.
| Post | Posts | Minimum qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Navik (General Duty) | 260 | Class 12 with Maths and Physics |
| Yantrik | 60 | Class 10 plus an engineering diploma |
| Navik (Domestic Branch) | 25 | Class 10 |
| Hygienist-I | 20 | Matriculation or ITI |
Class 10 pass hoon, CGEPT mein kaun post mil sakti hai?
Class 10 opens two doors in CGEPT. Navik (Domestic Branch) asks for Class 10 from a COBSE recognised board. Yantrik asks for Class 10 and an engineering diploma.
Navik (General Duty) is closed to you. That post needs Class 12 with Maths and Physics. Hygienist-I accepts matriculation or an ITI certificate.
Who can appear in the annual departmental typing test?
Only SSC staff can appear. The test decides increments, not a new job. Students cannot apply for it.
SSC Central Region handles offices in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Eligible grades include LDC, UDC and ASO. Stenographer Grade D staff on compassionate appointment are also covered.
The speeds tested are 80, 100 and 120 words per minute. For stenography, dictation comes from a recorded audio passage. The Hindi test allows Inscript or Remington keyboard layouts.
Applications closed on January 31, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. IST. Each form went through the staff member’s own office. The user department verified it first.
Why the November 20 typing test lands more than eight months late
A notice of January 1, 2026 put this test in the first week of March 2026. The fixed date is now November 20 and 21. That is a slip of more than eight months.
Increments ride on this one test. A clerk who applied by January 31, 2026 waits until November 20. No reason has been given.
The Sub-Inspector cycle tells a similar story. Paper-I closed on December 12, 2025. Paper-II sits 351 days later.
