Admit Card Download Instructions / рдбрд╛рдЙрдирд▓реЛрдб рдирд┐рд░реНрджреЗрд╢
The SSC GD Constable 2026 CBT admit card was released on 25 April 2026, ahead of the four-phase exam held between 27 April and 30 May 2026. That exam is now complete. This page covers the CBT admit card process for reference and what to expect for the upcoming PET/PST call letter once the result is declared.
The SSC GD Constable 2026 CBT admit card process is already behind candidates at this point, but it's worth recapping accurately for anyone tracking the cycle or preparing for a future SSC GD attempt, since 2026 introduced a genuinely new mechanism that departed from how this exam has historically scheduled candidates. Rather than assigning a fixed exam date and centre the way SSC has done in previous GD cycles, the Commission asked candidates to actively select their preferred examination week through a dedicated window that ran from 11 to 15 April 2026, a first-of-its-kind exam-week-preference system for this particular exam. This followed the postponement of the CBT's originally announced date of 23 February 2026, and appears to have been part of how SSC restructured the exam calendar to accommodate the eventual four-phase schedule that ran from 27 April through 30 May 2026. Once candidates had made their week selections, SSC activated the CBT e-admit card on 25 April 2026, a standard one-to-two-week runway before the earliest exam phase began, consistent with how SSC typically times admit card releases relative to exam dates across its various examinations. Candidates downloaded the admit card by logging into the official SSC portal with their registration ID and password, under the dedicated Admit Card section for the Constable (GD) Examination 2026, and were required to carry both a printed copy of the card and an original photo ID whose details matched their registration record, along with a passport-size photograph if the admit card specified one, in order to gain entry to their assigned centre. During the exam window itself, SSC also issued notices about localised, technical-reason cancellations and rescheduling at a small number of centres, underscoring why candidates were advised to keep checking the official portal for centre-specific updates right up to their scheduled exam date rather than assuming the admit card details were final and unchangeable. With the CBT itself now fully concluded across all four phases, and the provisional answer key already released and its objection window closed, the admit card story for this cycle effectively pauses here until the CBT result is declared. The next call letter candidates will need is not another SSC-issued CBT card, but a separate PET/PST call letter, and this is a structural point worth understanding clearly: unlike the CBT, which SSC organises and administers centrally, the Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Standard Test are conducted independently by each Central Armed Police Force тАФ BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP, SSB, and so on тАФ at venues and on schedules that each force sets for the candidates allotted against its vacancies. This means the PET/PST call letter will not have a single, uniform national release date the way the CBT admit card did; instead, candidates should expect force-specific communication, typically issued a short window after the CBT result and merit list are published, directing shortlisted candidates to specific physical test centres. Given that PET/PST calls have historically followed the CBT result within a matter of weeks in past SSC GD cycles, candidates awaiting the 2026 result would be well advised to already be maintaining running practice and monitoring their height, weight and general fitness standards now, rather than waiting for the physical call letter to arrive before starting preparation, since the compressed timeline between result and physical test in previous years has left limited room for candidates who haven't kept some baseline fitness routine going in parallel with their CBT preparation.

The CBT exam is already over (conducted 27 April - 30 May 2026), so that admit card is now expired. It is documented here for reference only.
A PET/PST call letter, issued after the CBT result, not by SSC centrally but by the specific Central Armed Police Force you are shortlisted against.
No. Since each CAPF (BSF, CISF, CRPF, etc.) organises its own PET/PST independently, release timing and format will vary by force and region rather than following a single SSC-wide date.
SSC introduced an exam-week-preference system for the first time, requiring candidates to select their preferred exam week (11-15 April 2026) before the admit card was released on 25 April.
