Corroboration: 3 independent outlets

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has released admit cards for the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Tier 1 examination in phases. Hall tickets are available for exams scheduled up to 16 October 2026. The Tier 1 CBT exam runs from 30 September to 30 October 2026 in three daily shifts. FreeJobAlert reports 10,731 revised vacancies across Group B and C posts. Candidates can download from ssc.gov.in using their login credentials. The Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission (TNPSC) has released hall tickets for the Combined Civil Services Examination II (Group 2 and 2A) preliminary exam scheduled for 1 November 2026. Times Now reports the exam will fill 821 vacancies and run from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, while The Times of India says it is an afternoon session at 38 district centres. Candidates can download from tnpsc.gov.in or tnpscexams.in via the OTR dashboard using application number and date of birth.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Times Now and The Times of India both report the TNPSC Group 2 hall ticket release in straight news style, but Times Now adds that 821 vacancies are to be filled and specifies the exam session as 9:30 am to 12:30 pm, while The Times of India mentions only an afternoon session. Both cite the same download procedure and official websites. FreeJobAlert and The Times of India each report the TNPSC story in a separate paragraph from the SSC CGL news, only The Times of India leads with the TNPSC item and gives it a standalone headline. The coverage is otherwise uniform: no source frames the release as delayed, fast or problematic. The 821 vacancy figure and the conflict over exam timing are the only factual differences between the outlets.
