Indian Coast Guard to hire through SSC for 2027 batches
The Indian Coast Guard has announced that recruitment for enrolled personnel under the Coast Guard Enrolled Personnel Test (CGEPT) for batches 01/27 and 02/27 will now be conducted through the Staff Selection Commission (SSC). Online registration opens on 6 October 2026. The move aims to standardise and streamline the selection process by aligning it with the SSC’s established examination framework.
The CGEPT covers non-officer posts such as Navik (General Duty), Navik (Domestic Branch) and Yantrik. Batches 01/27 and 02/27 refer to two training intakes planned for 2027, being opened together to fill a larger number of vacancies in one cycle. The written examination will be held under SSC, after which shortlisted candidates will face physical fitness, document verification, and medical stages managed by the Coast Guard.
A detailed notification with eligibility, age limits, syllabus, and schedule will be published separately on the SSC website.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both SSBCrack articles are uniform wire-style coverage of the Coast Guard decision to route CGEPT recruitment through the SSC. They differ only in minor wording and the number of comments displayed. Neither carries a pro-government or critical framing, both simply report the process change, the registration start date, and the selection stages. The noteworthy point is that this administrative shift to SSC is presented as a straightforward efficiency measure, with no discussion of why the system was changed. The key concrete item to watch is the SSC website for the detailed notification, which the articles say will include the eligibility and syllabus.
