SSC GD Slot Booking 2026 Started

For the SSC GD Constable 2026 cycle, the Commission has transitioned to a Week Preference system. Please note that this does not allow for specific exam date, shift, or city selection; instead, you may rank your preferred exam weeks from the available options provided by the SSC.

The Computer-Based Test (CBT) is scheduled to be held from 27th April to 30th May 2026, across four distinct weeks. This initiative aims to enhance administrative efficiency while providing candidates with greater flexibility during the exam cycle.
