Staff Selection Commission has released the SSC CGL exam city slip for the Combined Graduate Level Examination (Tier I) 2026. Candidates can download it from ssc.gov.in. The Tier I exam is scheduled from September 30 to October 30, 2026, and will consist of 100 objective-type multiple choice questions for 200 marks, with a negative marking of 0.50 marks per wrong answer. The admit card will be available two to three days before the exam date. This recruitment drive will fill 12,256 vacancies. Separately, the Railway Recruitment Board has released the RRB ALP exam schedule for CBT 1, to be held from November 3 to November 5, 2026. The RRB ALP CBT 1 will have 75 questions for 75 marks, with negative marking of one-third mark per wrong answer. Hindustan Times reports that admit cards for ALP will be available four days before the exam. This drive will fill 11,127 posts with an initial pay of Rs 19,900 per month.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both sources report identical factual details on exam dates, marks, and vacancies. Hindustan Times provides fuller procedural guidance on how to download the city slip, while Indian Express offers only a headline with no additional detail. The coverage is uniform straight reporting with no observable political slant. The key item to watch is the admit card release for both exams: SSC CGL admit cards are due two to three days before each candidate's exam date in the September-October window, and RRB ALP admit cards open four days before the November 3 exam.
