Selection Process — 4 Stages

The mode of selection for CRPF Constable Tradesman 2026 includes a CBT Exam, followed by PET and PST, then Document Verification, and finally a Medical Examination.

Here’s what each stage means for you:

Stage 1 — CBT (Computer Based Test) An online written exam testing General Knowledge, Mathematics, General English/Hindi, and trade-specific knowledge. Prepare these four subjects from the moment you apply.

Stage 2 — PET & PST (Physical Efficiency & Physical Standard Test) This is where height, chest measurement, and physical fitness tasks are tested. Start physical preparation now — don’t wait for the exam date.

Stage 3 — Document Verification All original documents — 10th marksheet, birth certificate, caste certificate, driving licence (for drivers), ITI certificate (for motor mechanic), and trade experience proof — must be presented.

Stage 4 — Medical Examination Final health check to ensure you meet CRPF’s medical fitness standards.

Pro Tip: Many candidates clear the written exam but fail at PET/PST due to lack of physical preparation. Start running, practising push-ups, and working on stamina from today — not after the admit card arrives.

CTET 2026 Qualifying Marks — Did You Pass?

To qualify for CTET, candidates must score at least 60 per cent marks. However, candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC), and differently-abled categories are eligible for a relaxation of 5 per cent.

Category-wise Qualifying Marks:

Note: CTET is a qualifying exam — CBSE does not release a merit list. There are no ranks. The result simply shows whether you have qualified or not based on your score.

What Will the CTET Scorecard Show?

The CTET February 2026 scorecard will include key details such as candidates’ scores (likely paper-wise) along with personal information.

Here’s the full breakdown:

• Candidate’s Name, Roll Number and Application Number
• Date of Birth and Gender
• Paper 1 Marks (Classes 1–5)
• Paper 2 Marks (Classes 6–8)
• Total Marks and Subject-wise Breakdown
• Qualified / Not Qualified Status
• Category and Exam Centre Details

CTET Certificate — Validity & DigiLocker Download

The CTET 2026 Certificate and marksheet will be available on DigiLocker. The CTET certificate will be issued for candidates who clear the exam by obtaining the minimum qualifying marks. The CTET marksheet will be issued to all candidates who appear for the exam — qualified or not.

The CTET certificate is now valid for a lifetime.

That’s a major advantage — once you qualify CTET, your certificate never expires. It can be used anytime in the future while applying for teaching jobs.

Why Is the CTET Result Being Eagerly Awaited This Year?

Several primary teachers awaiting promotions ahead of the March 31 deadline are closely tracking the result declaration.

For thousands of Delhi government school teachers and KVS/NVS candidates — this result directly determines:

• Eligibility to apply for Class 1–5 teaching posts (Paper 1 qualifiers)
• Eligibility to apply for Class 6–8 teaching posts (Paper 2 qualifiers)
• Promotion eligibility under CBSE affiliation rules for existing teachers
• Access to Delhi government school recruitment via DoE

What CTET Qualification Means for Delhi’s Teaching Aspirants

The CTET result 2026 will be considered by schools of the Central Government like KVS, NVS and Central Tibetan Schools. In addition, schools under the administrative control of UTs of Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and NCT of Delhi will also consider the CTET result for teacher recruitment. Unaided private schools as well as schools owned and managed by the State Government, local bodies and aided schools also consider CTET exam results.

For Delhi specifically — a CTET qualification opens doors to:

• Delhi government school teaching jobs via DoE
• Kendriya Vidyalaya (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalaya (NVS) across Delhi-NCR
• Private school recruitment across Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon and Faridabad

Why Is the Result Delayed?

The delay in the CTET Result 2026 has created speculation among candidates, as the result was expected by mid to late March based on past trends. However, CBSE is still finalising the answer key after reviewing objections, which may have slightly pushed the result release date.

After releasing the provisional answer key, the board allowed candidates to raise objections. Now that the objection window is closed, experts believe that the final answer key and result will be released together.

The 2026 Update: Why the Government Eased PM Internship Scheme Rules

The government has introduced major changes to the PM Internship Scheme rules, aimed at allowing more youth to participate and enabling more companies to offer internship opportunities across new sectors.

The government has also introduced a dedicated mobile app for the PM Internship Scheme, further simplifying the application process for young candidates — allowing them to easily apply, track updates, and secure internships in top companies.

The message from the government is clear — the old barriers are being removed. More youth, more companies, more opportunities.

What is the PM Internship Scheme 2026?

The Prime Minister’s Internship Scheme (PMIS) 2026 is a flagship government initiative designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry experience for young Indians. Under this programme, interns are placed with top companies spanning sectors such as banking, IT, manufacturing, oil & gas, infrastructure and more, for a structured 12-month professional engagement aimed at enhancing employability and practical skills.

Run by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, the scheme gives fresh graduates and diploma holders the chance to work for 12 months with top companies, government offices, and public sector units.

The 5-year target? One crore internships in India’s top 500 companies.

How Much Will You Get Paid?

This is the question every applicant asks first — and the answer is solid.

Every selected candidate receives a monthly stipend of ₹5,000. Of this, ₹4,500 is paid by the Government via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) and ₹500 is contributed by the host company from its CSR funds.

But that’s not all.

Upon joining, interns also receive a one-time incidentals grant of ₹6,000 to help cover initial expenses like professional attire, travel, or books.

And on top of the money:

Interns are provided with accidental insurance under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and life insurance under the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, with premiums covered by the government.

The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board is the government body responsible for recruiting staff into various departments of the Delhi government. It conducts written examinations and skill-based assessments to select the right candidates for Group B and Group C posts. A job through DSSSB is not just a job — it is a long-term career with stability, regular salary increments, government allowances, and a pension structure that private sector jobs simply cannot match.

The 2026 recruitment, issued under Advertisement Number 01/2026, is one of the largest Delhi government drives in recent times. With over 900 vacancies on the table, the competition will be fierce, but the reward makes it absolutely worth the effort.

Posts Available and Total Vacancies

The recruitment covers four major categories of posts. Here is a quick look at what is being offered:

• Grade-II (GNCTDSS) / Assistant Section Officer (ASO) — This is the largest chunk, with approximately 576 vacancies under the Services Department alone. It is a Group-B, non-gazetted post open to graduates from any stream.
• Junior Engineer (Civil) — Meant for diploma or degree holders in civil engineering, this is a technical post with strong career progression within Delhi’s public infrastructure departments.
• Assistant Engineer (Civil) — A higher-level engineering role requiring a full engineering degree. It offers a better pay scale and more responsibilities within government departments.
• Legal Assistant — Open to candidates with a Bachelor’s degree in Law (LLB). Vacancies exist across departments like Delhi Pollution Control Committee, Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board, Delhi Transport Corporation, and the Department of Law, Justice and Legislative Affairs.

The total vacancy count across all posts stands at 911, distributed among multiple departments of the GNCT of Delhi.

Important Dates You Must Not Forget

Time management is everything when it comes to government job applications. Here are the key dates:

• Official Notification Released: 20th February 2026
• Online Application Start Date: 24th February 2026
• Last Date to Apply Online: 25th March 2026
• Exam Date: To be announced later on the official website

Since the last date to apply is 25th March 2026, anyone still sitting on the fence needs to move quickly. Do not wait for the final days, as server overload and technical issues are very common near deadlines on government portals.

Eligibility Criteria — Who Can Apply?

The eligibility requirements vary slightly depending on the post, but here is a general overview:

• For ASO / Grade-II posts: A graduation degree in any discipline — Arts, Science, Commerce, or Agriculture — from a recognised university is required. The maximum age limit is 30 years as on 25th March 2026.
• For Junior Engineer (Civil): A diploma or degree in civil engineering is required. Age limit applies as per the official notification.
• For Assistant Engineer (Civil): A full degree in civil engineering from a recognised institution is mandatory.
• For Legal Assistant: A Bachelor’s degree in Law (LLB) is essential. The upper age limit for most Legal Assistant posts is 30 years, with some posts allowing up to 35 years.

Age relaxation is applicable for reserved categories including SC, ST, OBC (Delhi), PwBD, and Ex-Servicemen, strictly as per government norms.

One important point to remember — your educational qualification must be complete as on 25th March 2026. You cannot apply if your degree results are still awaited beyond that date.

Application Fee

The application fee for this recruitment is only Rs. 100 for General, OBC, and EWS category candidates. Payment must be made through SBI e-pay, which is the only accepted mode. No other payment method will be considered valid.

Fee exemption applies to the following:

• Women candidates (all categories)
• SC / ST candidates
• PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disability)
• Ex-Servicemen

This is a small fee for such a big opportunity, and exempted candidates should consider themselves at an added advantage.

How to Apply — Step-by-Step Process

The entire application process is online. There is no offline mode. Here is how you go about it:

• Step 1: Visit the official DSSSB website at dsssb.delhi.gov.in or dsssbonline.nic.in
• Step 2: Complete the One-Time Registration (OTR) if you are a new user. Keep your mobile number and email ID handy.
• Step 3: Log in using your User ID and password.
• Step 4: Choose the post you wish to apply for and fill in all personal and educational details carefully.
• Step 5: Upload scanned copies of your photograph, signature, and required documents such as your 10th certificate, graduation degree, and category certificate if applicable.
• Step 6: Pay the application fee online through SBI e-pay.
• Step 7: Review your form carefully before clicking the final submit button. Once submitted, no changes can be made.
• Step 8: Save or print a copy of your submitted application for future reference.

One application per candidate is the rule. Multiple applications for the same post may lead to rejection of all submissions.

Selection Process — What to Expect

DSSSB conducts its recruitment in a structured, multi-stage process. The stages are as follows:

• Tier 1 Examination: This is an objective-type written test covering General Awareness, General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability, Arithmetical Ability, Hindi Language and Comprehension, and English Language and Comprehension. The exam is computer-based and lasts 2 hours.
• Tier 2 Examination: This applies primarily to ASO and Grade-II posts. It consists of two parts — an objective section and a descriptive section. The descriptive part involves Essay Writing (50 marks), Letter Writing (25 marks), and Precis Writing (25 marks), all in English. The total marks for Tier 2 are 300.
• Skill Test / Trade Test / Driving Test / Endurance Test: These are conducted as per the specific requirements of individual posts.
• Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates must present original documents for verification.
• Medical Examination: A standard health check-up as required for government service.

Negative marking is very much part of the deal. For every wrong answer in a 1-mark question, 0.25 marks are deducted. For 2-mark questions, the deduction is 0.50 marks. Guesswork is not your friend here.

Salary Structure — What You Stand to Earn

Government jobs are attractive not just because of job security but also because of the salary and perks. Here is what selected candidates can expect:

• Legal Assistant and Junior Engineer posts fall under Pay Level 6, with a basic pay starting at around Rs. 35,400 per month.
• Assistant Engineer and Assistant Section Officer posts fall under Pay Level 7, with a starting basic pay of Rs. 44,900 per month, going up to Rs. 1,42,400.

On top of the basic pay, selected employees receive Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), Transport Allowance (TA), and other benefits as per Delhi Government rules. All postings are within Delhi, as these positions are non-transferable outside the departments of the GNCT of Delhi.

Minimum Qualifying Marks

To clear the examination, candidates must score at least:

• 40% for General category candidates
• 35% for OBC (Delhi) candidates
• 30% for SC, ST, and PH candidates

Final Thoughts — Should You Apply?

Absolutely, yes. With 911 vacancies, a transparent selection process, solid pay scales, and long-term job security, the DSSSB Recruitment 2026 is genuinely one of the best government job opportunities available right now in Delhi. Whether you are a fresher just out of college or someone with some work experience looking to switch to a stable government career, there is a post here that fits your profile.

Start your preparation today. Focus on General Awareness, Reasoning, and your subject-specific topics. Candidates applying for ASO should pay special attention to their English writing skills, as the descriptive paper can be the deciding factor in the final merit list.

• Interview carries 15 marks and contributes directly to the final merit list
• Official syllabus PDF available at delhihighcourt.nic.in

Sunday, 22nd March 2026 is arriving fast. For the thousands of candidates who applied for the Delhi High Court Junior Judicial Assistant post, this is the week that decides whether all those hours of preparation pay off or not. The Preliminary Examination kicks off in a matter of days — and if you are still piecing together what exactly the syllabus covers, what the marking scheme looks like, or how the entire selection process works from beginning to end, this is where you get your answers.

The Delhi High Court JJA recruitment is not a small affair. One hundred and fifty-two vacancies, an entirely online examination process, and a selection pipeline that goes through Prelims, Mains, a Typing Test, and an Interview before a single appointment letter goes out. Every stage has its own rules, its own minimum requirements, and its own way of catching unprepared candidates off guard.

This guide covers all of it — in plain language, with everything laid out the way it actually works.

What the Recruitment Looks Like

Before anything else, here is a quick snapshot of the key details every candidate should have memorised by now:

• Organisation: Delhi High Court
• Post: Junior Judicial Assistant (JJA)
• Total Vacancies: 152
• Mode of Exam: Online CBT (Computer-Based Test)
• Prelims Exam Date: 22nd March 2026 (Sunday)
• Question Type: Objective Type MCQ (Prelims) | Descriptive (Mains)
• Total Questions in Prelims: 120
• Total Marks: Prelims — 120 | Mains — 100
• Time Allowed: 120 minutes (both Prelims and Mains)
• Official Website: delhihighcourt.nic.in

How the Selection Actually Works

A lot of candidates get confused about which stage counts and which stage is just qualifying. Here is the full selection pipeline laid out clearly:

• Stage 1 — Preliminary Examination (CBT): Objective, online, qualifying in nature. Your marks here do not carry forward.
• Stage 2 — Main Examination (Descriptive): This is where your score starts mattering. Marks from this stage go into the final merit list.
• Stage 3 — English Typing Test: Qualifying. You either pass the speed requirement or you don’t. No marks are given.
• Stage 4 — Interview: 15 marks, and these directly influence your final rank.
• Stage 5 — Document Verification and Medical Examination: The final formality before an appointment is confirmed.

The final merit list is built on Mains marks plus Interview marks. That is the number that decides your rank among all candidates who make it to the end.

The Prelims Exam Pattern — What You Are Actually Walking Into

Think of the Prelims as the filter. It is designed to narrow down the field before the real scoring begins. Here is what the paper looks like:

A few things about this paper that are easy to overlook:

• Every correct answer gives you 1 mark. Every wrong answer takes away 0.25 marks. Questions you leave blank carry no penalty at all.
• There is no sectional time limit — 120 minutes is the total window for all three parts combined.
• The paper is entirely in English.
• It is conducted in online mode; you will be working on a computer screen, not a printed sheet.

The negative marking here is a strategic factor, not just a detail. Getting 80 questions right and 40 wrong is worse than getting 80 right and leaving 40 blank. Know when to skip.

The Mains Exam Pattern — Where It Actually Counts

If Prelims is the filter, Mains is the real exam. This is where language skills, writing ability, and grammar knowledge are tested properly — and where your score enters the merit calculation.

Some important things to know about clearing Mains:

• The entire exam is conducted in English — there is no Hindi medium option at this stage.
• General Category candidates must score a minimum of 50% — that is 50 marks out of 100 — to qualify.
• Reserved Category and PwBD candidates need a minimum of 45% — 45 marks out of 100.
• Candidates who fall below these cut-offs do not proceed to the Typing Test or Interview, regardless of how well they did in Prelims.

The Typing Test — Simple Enough, But Do Not Ignore It

The English Typing Test is qualifying — no marks, no ranking, just pass or fail. But it has ended the journey of many candidates who assumed they could wing it.

• Minimum speed required: 35 words per minute in English
• Mode: Computer keyboard
• Duration: 10 minutes
• Speed measurement: Characters with space (not just words)
• Error permissibility: Maximum 3% of total words typed

If you have not been practicing regularly, ten minutes of typing under pressure feels very different from casual everyday typing. Build the habit now — even 15 minutes of daily practice on a free typing tool will make a measurable difference within a week.

The Interview — The Final Stretch

By the time candidates reach the Interview, the field is already very small. Here is what you need to know:

• Maximum marks: 15
• Minimum qualifying marks: None — there is no floor here
• What it tests: Communication, presence of mind, awareness of the judicial system, and overall personality
• What goes into the final merit: Mains marks + Interview marks, combined

Given that this is a judicial service recruitment, candidates who walk into the Interview with a working understanding of how the Indian court system functions — hierarchies, roles, landmark cases, constitutional provisions — tend to leave a stronger impression.

Delhi High Court JJA Syllabus 2026 — Every Topic, Every Section

Part I: English Language & Comprehension (45 Questions)

English is the single largest section in Prelims — 45 questions, 45 marks — and it doubles down on your skills in Mains too. Here is every topic the syllabus covers:

• Vocabulary: Synonyms and Antonyms tested in sentence context
• Reading Comprehension: Passage-based questions requiring inference, understanding of tone, and factual recall
• Idioms and Phrases: Meaning-based and usage-based questions on common English expressions
• One Word Substitution: Replacing lengthy descriptive phrases with a precise single word
• Gender: Masculine, feminine, and neutral gender forms across common and proper nouns
• Degrees of Comparison: Positive, comparative, and superlative — and how to convert between them
• Prepositions: Correct preposition selection in sentences where context determines meaning
• Articles: Placement of ‘a’, ‘an’, and ‘the’ — tested through fill-in-the-blank format
• Fill in the Blanks: Sentence completion based on grammar and vocabulary
• Shuffling of Sentence Parts: Rearranging jumbled parts of a sentence into logical, grammatically correct order
• Spot the Error: Reading a sentence and identifying where the grammar breaks down
• Active and Passive Voice: Converting sentences between active and passive construction
• Direct and Indirect Narration: Changing reported speech from direct to indirect form and vice versa

Comprehension passages and Error Spotting together tend to carry the most weight in this section. If your grammar foundation is solid and you are a regular reader, these two areas alone can secure you double digits comfortably.

Part II: General Awareness / Knowledge and Current Affairs / Events (45 Questions)

Another 45-mark section, and one where consistent reading over months matters far more than last-minute revision. The topics spread wide but lean predictably toward civics and current affairs:

• Constitution of India: Salient features, fundamental rights and duties, directive principles, Preamble, major constitutional amendments
• Indian Judiciary: Structure of the Supreme Court, High Courts, and District Courts; roles and responsibilities; landmark judgments that shaped Indian law
• Sports and Games: National and international sporting events, records, and award winners from recent years
• Art and Culture: Classical music and dance forms, UNESCO World Heritage Sites in India, famous festivals, cultural traditions
• Indian History: Key events and personalities across ancient, medieval, and modern India — with a focus on the independence movement
• Polity and Geography: State and central government structure, Indian political system, geographical features such as rivers, mountain ranges, plains, and climate zones
• Everyday Science: Practical science concepts drawn from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology — the kind that appear in daily life
• National and International Organisations / Institutions / Awards: UN bodies, Indian constitutional bodies, Padma Awards, Nobel Prize, Bharat Ratna, and sports honours
• Famous Personalities: Leaders, scientists, authors, judges, and public figures — Indian and global
• Important Days and Events: National and international observances, historical anniversaries
• Inventions and Discoveries: Key scientific milestones and the individuals behind them

Because this is a Delhi High Court exam, the Constitution and Indian Judiciary topics deserve extra attention. These are not generic GK additions — they are the professional context of the job itself.

Part III: General Intelligence, Reasoning & Numerical / Arithmetic Ability (30 Questions)

Thirty questions for 30 marks — the smallest section by weight but still important. It splits between reasoning and basic maths:

Reasoning Topics:

• Analogies: Understanding the relationship between a given pair and applying the same logic to find the missing element
• Similarities and Differences: Spotting what two or more items share — or how they diverge
• Classification (Odd One Out): Identifying the one item in a group that does not follow the same category logic
• Problem Solving and Decision Making: Multi-step logical reasoning questions requiring structured thinking
• Relationship Concepts: Blood relations, coded relationships, and direction-based puzzles

Numerical / Arithmetic Topics:

• BODMAS: Correct order of mathematical operations in complex expressions
• Percentage: Including applications in Profit & Loss, Discount, and percentage change
• Simple and Compound Interest: Formula-based calculations on principal, rate, and time
• Time, Speed & Distance / Time & Work: Word problems that require setting up equations from given conditions
• Ratio and Proportion: Including direct proportion, inverse proportion, and partnership problems

Reasoning questions are generally quicker to attempt than Maths. In a timed exam, clearing reasoning first and then moving to numerical problems is a practical approach that works for most candidates.

The Mains Syllabus in Detail

The Mains exam is purely about English — written, precise, and structured. Here is what each component actually demands from you:

Part A — Essay and Letter Writing (50 Marks)

• Essay — 40 Marks: A 250-word essay on a topic that is typically contemporary, social, or governance-related. The examiner is looking for logical structure, clarity of argument, and vocabulary that feels confident without being overblown. Practice writing on topics like judicial reforms, environmental policy, digital governance, or social issues.
• Letter — 10 Marks: An official or formal letter. Format matters as much as content here — correct salutation, organised body paragraphs, and an appropriate closing. Practise at least five to six different letter types: complaint letters, application letters, letters to editors, and official communications.

Part B — Grammar and Translation (50 Marks)

• Grammar — 30 Marks: Core grammar in application — tenses, parts of speech, sentence correction, voice, narration, and error identification. This is not a test of theory but of whether you can actually apply grammar rules correctly under pressure.
• Translation — 20 Marks: Approximately 25 words translated — most commonly from Hindi to English or English to Hindi. Accuracy in meaning, not word-for-word literalism, is what scores marks here.

Making the Best of the Time You Have Left

With Prelims just days away and Mains not far behind, here is how to use what remains:

• Cross-check the syllabus against your notes right now. Every topic you have not covered is a gap that costs you marks. The official PDF is on delhihighcourt.nic.in — go through it line by line.
• Run at least two full-length mock tests before Sunday. Timed practice under exam conditions is the only way to understand how 120 minutes actually feels when the clock is running and negative marking is on.
• Be disciplined about negative marking. A guess that goes wrong costs you 1.25 marks net — the 1 mark you would have scored plus the 0.25 deducted. Leave it blank unless you have genuine reason to believe your answer is right.
• English and General Awareness are your biggest opportunity. Together they are 90 out of 120 marks. Any candidate who is strong in both of these sections has a real advantage over the field.
• Start writing essays and letters for Mains now. One essay per day between Prelims and Mains is not excessive — it is the bare minimum if you want Part A to feel natural on exam day.
• Practice typing daily. Ten minutes on a free typing platform every morning is all it takes to build comfort with the 35 WPM requirement.
• Prepare for the Interview from the beginning. Read about the Delhi High Court, understand the structure of the Indian judiciary, and be ready to speak about why you want to work in a judicial institution.

The Staff Selection Commission released its revised Exam Calendar 2026-27 on 14th March 2026. It’s up on ssc.gov.in. And it covers everything — CGL, CHSL, JE, MTS, CPO, Stenographer, JHT, GD Constable. The full picture, finally.

This city runs on government jobs. Millions of young people across Delhi NCR have their lives on hold — skipping weddings, skipping sleep, skipping a lot of things — in pursuit of that one central government posting. This calendar is what they’ve been waiting for. It tells you not just when to appear, but when to apply, when to expect a notification, and how to structure the next several months of your preparation.

So, let’s go through it properly.

The Season Opens on 31st March

The commission is wasting no time. Three of the most significant exams in SSC’s universe — Combined Graduate Level (CGL), Junior Engineer (JE), and Selection Post Phase XIII — will all drop their notifications on 31st March 2026. That’s two weeks away. Applications open the same day and run through 30th April.

CGL is the one that stops traffic every year. It’s the gateway to Group B and Group C posts across central government departments — Income Tax Inspector, Auditor, Assistant Section Officer and more. Over 20 lakh candidates appear in a single cycle. The Tier 1 CBT is tentatively scheduled for May–June 2026. Two months from notification to exam. That’s not a lot of room, and if you’ve been loosely preparing, this is the moment to get serious.

JE — the Junior Engineer exam for Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical disciplines — follows the same timeline. Notification 31st March, exam May–June. The Selection Post Phase XIII, which opens doors to a wide range of central government posts for Class X, XII, and Graduate holders, follows suit.

April Brings the Next Wave

Come 30th April, three more notifications land together. CHSL — the Combined Higher Secondary Level exam, one of the most popular among 12th-pass aspirants — releases alongside Stenographer Grade C & D and the Junior Hindi Translator (JHT) exam. Application window runs from 30th April to 31st May.

CHSL exam is tentatively set for July–September 2026. Stenographer and JHT follow in August–September. If you’re someone juggling both CGL and CHSL preparation — which many aspirants in Delhi do — the good news is that a large chunk of the syllabus overlaps. Your effort compounds across both exams rather than doubling.

May to September: CPO, MTS, and the Delhi Police SI Connection

For a very specific section of Delhi NCR aspirants, 31st May is the most important date in this calendar. That’s when SSC CPO notification drops — and CPO includes recruitment for Sub-Inspector posts in the Delhi Police. It’s one of the most coveted uniform postings in the capital, fiercely competitive every single cycle, and deeply personal for many families here.

Notification: 31st May. Application window: 31st May to 30th June. Exam: October–November 2026. That’s roughly a five-month preparation window from notification to exam — comparatively generous, and aspirants targeting Delhi Police SI should start building their physical fitness regime alongside their written exam prep right now.

MTS and Havaldar recruitment — the largest in terms of sheer volume and aimed at Class X pass candidates — gets its notification on 30th June. Application closes 31st July. Exam: September–November 2026.

GD Constable: The Wait Continues Into 2027

Here’s the one that will disappoint some and quietly relieve others. The SSC GD Constable exam — which recruits for the BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, SSB and other central armed forces — will not happen in 2026. The notification only drops on 30th September 2026, applications close 31st October, and the actual CBT is pushed all the way to January–March 2027.

This is deliberate. SSC gives candidates time to prepare after notification and given the sheer scale of GD Constable recruitment — lakhs of applications, multiple shifts of exams across weeks — the commission needs the lead time too. If GD is your focus, don’t treat the delayed notification as bad news. Treat it as five extra months to build speed, accuracy, and physical fitness simultaneously.

What To Do With This Information

The calendar is out. The notification window opens in fifteen days. If you’re targeting CGL, you have two months of focused preparation before Tier 1. That’s not nothing — toppers have cracked SSC CGL in less — but it demands a level of honest self-assessment right now. Where are your gaps? Quant? English? GK? Map them today.

If you’re targeting multiple exams, build a combined calendar. Mark every notification date, every application deadline, every tentative exam month. Treat this like a project plan. Because that’s what it is — a project that could change your life, with firm deadlines that don’t move for anyone.

The commission has done its part. The calendar is out. The rest is on you.
