SSC CGL 2026 Tier 1 Exam: City Intimation Slips Released Ahead of September 30 Start

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially released the city intimation slips for the upcoming Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2026 Tier 1 examination. This development allows registered candidates to verify their allotted examination city, specific test date, and shift timings ahead of the formal commencement of the testing process.

The Tier 1 examination is scheduled to begin on September 30, 2026. While the city intimation slips are now available for candidates to view, the Commission has clarified that these documents are distinct from the final admit cards. Candidates are advised to use the official portal at ssc.gov.in to access their preliminary scheduling information by logging into their accounts.

SSC CGL 2026 Admit Card and Exam Guidelines

The Staff Selection Commission has not established a single, uniform release date for the SSC CGL 2026 admit cards. Instead, the hall tickets are expected to be issued individually to candidates in the days leading up to their specific examination date. Based on standard procedures, it is anticipated that these admit cards will become available approximately one week prior to the scheduled test date, likely between September 24 and September 28, 2026.

It is essential for all applicants to distinguish between the city intimation slip and the official admit card. The city intimation slip is intended solely to assist candidates with travel planning and logistical arrangements by providing the location and timing of their test. In contrast, the final admit card will contain critical information, including the specific examination centre address, mandatory reporting times, and detailed instructions for the day of the exam.

Candidates are encouraged to monitor the official SSC website and the portals of their respective regional offices regularly for the latest updates regarding the release of their admit cards. As the examination date approaches, ensuring that all documentation is correctly downloaded and printed will be a vital step for a smooth entry into the examination hall. The Commission will provide further notifications as the hall tickets are uploaded to the portal for individual download.
