Brief Information

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is the primary recruitment body under the Government of India responsible for conducting major national examinations to fill Group B and Group C posts in various ministries and departments. One of its most significant annual drives is the SSC GD Constable recruitment, which selects personnel for the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) such as BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, SSF, and Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles. This recruitment is vital to India’s national security, as GD Constables are tasked with safeguarding borders, maintaining internal peace, and assisting in sensitive law enforcement duties across the country. On February 17, 2026, the SSC officially announced the postponement of the SSC GD 2026 Computer-Based Examination (CBT), which was originally scheduled to commence on February 23, 2026. The decision, attributed to administrative reasons, has affected over 48 lakh candidates who registered for the 25,487 available vacancies. The selection process for this post is multi-staged and transparent, beginning with a Computer-Based Test (CBT), followed by the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Physical Standard Test (PST), and a Detailed Medical Examination (DME). For many aspirants, especially those from rural India, this job is a gateway to a prestigious career in the paramilitary forces with a competitive salary and job security. While the delay has caused uncertainty, candidates are advised to use this additional time for revision. The SSC will announce the fresh exam schedule and city intimation slips shortly on its official website, and candidates will not have the 'self-slot selection' facility for this cycle, meaning the Commission will automatically assign exam centers and shifts.
