A total of 28,52,665 candidates are expected to appear for the SSC CGL Tier 1 Exam, which is scheduled to be held from September 30 to October 30, 2026. The examination aims to recruit candidates for various Group B and Group C posts across Central Government ministries, departments, and offices.

Accessing the City Intimation Slip and Key Information

Candidates can check and download their SSC CGL City Intimation Slip 2026 by logging in to ssc.gov.in using their Registration Number and Password. The slip contains essential details such as the candidate’s name, registration or application number, examination date, allotted examination city, and other examination-related information. This document is crucial for candidates to make necessary travel and accommodation arrangements well in advance of their exam date.

The city intimation slip is distinct from the admit card and cannot be used for entry to the examination centre. The examination information, including the timetable and city/centre details, is uploaded approximately 10 days before a candidate’s examination. The SSC CGL Tier 1 Exam 2026 will be conducted as a Computer-Based Examination across different shifts, with expected timings including Shift 1 (9:00 AM – 10:00 AM), Shift 2 (11:45 AM – 12:45 PM), Shift 3 (2:30 PM – 3:30 PM), and Shift 4 (5:15 PM – 6:15 PM).

Admit Card Release and Scribe Registration Deadline

The SSC CGL Tier 1 Admit Card 2026 will be released on September 27, 2026, onwards, and will be made available 2-3 days before the respective examination date for each candidate. The Admission Certificate download facility will be accessible closer to the examination. Candidates are required to carry a printed Admission Certificate to the examination centre, as per the 2026 notification.

For candidates requiring a scribe, a critical deadline has been set. Those using their own scribe must complete fresh scribe registration and map the scribe’s One-Time Registration (OTR) by September 24, 2026, 11:00 PM, to receive the Scribe Entry Pass. Failure to meet this deadline may affect their ability to appear for the examination with a scribe. Candidates who cannot find their examination details on the SSC website one week before their allotted examination date are advised to immediately contact the concerned Regional Office.

Examination Day Requirements and Identification

Candidates who could not complete Aadhaar-based authentication are required to report two hours before the scheduled start of their examination. They must carry at least two recent passport-size colour photographs and an original valid photo ID that bears the date of birth printed on their Admission Certificate. A mismatch between the details on the Admission Certificate and the supporting ID or certificate can prevent entry to the examination centre.

The SSC CGL City Intimation Slip 2026 provides advance information to candidates about their examination city, which helps them plan travel and accommodation. This slip is issued before the admit card, which is the official entry document for the examination. The examination window spans over a month, meaning candidates will receive their city information and admit cards at different times depending on their assigned exam date.
