The Staff Selection Commission has announced that the SSC CHSL Tier 1 Computer-Based Examination for 2026 will run from 30 November to 31 December. The exam is for 2,536 vacancies for the posts of LDC, JSA and DEO. The application process closed on 7 October, and the correction window is open from 14 to 16 October.

The exam will be held in three shifts daily, each of one hour. The city intimation slip will be released 8 to 10 days before the exam, and the admit card 2 to 3 days before. The selection process includes Tier 1, Tier 2, a qualifying Skill or Typing Test and Document Verification. The final merit list will be based on marks from Tier 2 Sections I and II.
The SSC has locked in the CHSL Tier 1 window from 30 November to 31 December 2026, which gives registered candidates roughly six weeks to prepare. The application correction window closes on 16 October, so any errors in submitted forms must be fixed now. The selection process marks a shift: Tier 1 is purely a screening stage this year, with the final merit based only on Tier 2 Sections I and II. Candidates cleared after the correction deadline will next await their city intimation slip, expected 8 to 10 days before their exam date. The announcement does not yet release the Tier 2 exam date or the answer key timeline.
