The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) releases the examination city details for the SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Tier-I 2026 on the official website, ssc.gov.in. The computer-based exam is scheduled from September 30, 2026, to October 30, 2026. Candidates can view their allotted exam city by logging in via the designated module on the SSC portal.
Both outlets also report that the SSC informs candidates to download the admission certificate (admit card) about two to three days before their respective test date. They clarify that the “exam city slip” is not the admit card and candidates must carry the admission certificate to the examination centre. Free Press Journal additionally notes the Tier-I is conducted in four shifts (9:00 am–10:00 am, 11:45 am–12:45 pm, 2:30 pm–3:30 pm, 5:15 pm–6:15 pm) and outlines the four-section question structure.
Times of India and Free Press Journal also include SSC instructions for the “Own Scribe” option. They state that candidates using their own scribes must complete fresh Aadhaar-linked registration if their scribe registration was done before a specified cut-off, and they must map the scribe’s registration before the deadline of September 24, 2026 (11:00 pm).
