The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), operating under the Ministry of Home Affairs, announced the results of the Computer-Based Test (CBT) for the Head Constable (Ministerial)-2020 recruitment examination. The result notification, released on November 2, 2026, also detailed the schedule for the upcoming Skill/Typing Test.

A total of 1,725 candidates have been provisionally shortlisted to proceed to the next stage of the selection process, which is the Skill/Typing Test. This recruitment drive aims to fill 115 advertised vacancies for the Head Constable (Ministerial) post, as per advertisement number 338/RC/SSB/HC (Min)/2020.

Skill/Typing Test Schedule and Requirements

The Skill/Typing Test for the shortlisted candidates is scheduled to be conducted on November 16 and November 18, 2026. These tests will take place at five designated centres located across the country. Candidates must meet specific typing speed requirements to remain eligible for further selection.

The typing test is qualifying in nature, meaning candidates must achieve the prescribed speed but the marks obtained will not contribute to the final merit list. Failure to meet the required typing standard will result in disqualification from further consideration in the recruitment process. The skill test notice was dated October 30, 2026.

For English typing, candidates are required to demonstrate a minimum speed of 35 words per minute (WPM). For Hindi typing, the minimum speed requirement is 30 words per minute (WPM). The final merit list will be prepared based on the aggregate marks obtained in the Computer-Based Test, provided candidates qualify the Skill/Typing Test and fulfill document verification requirements.
