SSC has announced the SSC CHSL Tier 1 exam date for 2026 in an official notice dated 1 October 2026. The Computer-Based Test is proposed from 30 November to 31 December 2026. Check the key dates, exam pattern, shift timing, and documents needed on exam day. The Staff Selection Commission has scheduled the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination 2026, Tier I (CBE), from 30 November to 31 December 2026. The notice lists these as proposed dates, so keep checking ssc.gov.in for any updates. Applications are still open until 7 October 2026 (11:00 PM), and fee payment is allowed until 8 October 2026.
The exam is spread over a month, so not every candidate will appear on the same day. SSC will allot each candidate an individual date, shift and city, which will be shown on the city intimation slip and admit card. The exam starts about eight weeks after the application closes, which leaves a clear window for revision.
These are the application dates from the notification and the proposed Tier 1 schedule from SSC's notice dated 1 October 2026.

SSC usually holds Tier 1 in multiple shifts each day. The table shows the pattern followed in earlier cycles, while your actual shift and reporting time will be printed on your admit card.
| Shift | Typical Reporting Time | Typical Exam Window |
|---|---|---|
| Shift 1 | Early morning | Around 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM |
| Shift 2 | Late morning | Around 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM |
| Shift 3 | Afternoon | Around 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM |
A few documents are mandatory at the exam centre, and missing even one of them can mean losing the attempt.
Electronic devices, books, notes and bulky bags are not allowed inside the exam hall, so it helps to travel light.
