Four checks before applying

Education

The final 2026 qualification is pending. Recent CHSL notices required Class 12; specified DEO posts added Science with Mathematics.

Age and cut-off

The final 2026 age rule and reckoning date are pending. Recent CHSL notices commonly used 18–27 years with notified relaxations.

Post-specific condition

Typing or data-entry preparation needs lead time, but candidates must use the exact 2026 speed, language and exemption rules when issued.

Documents

The exact certificate format, issue date and claiming rules come from the current notice.

Eligibility check sequence

  1. Confirm the examination cycle and notice version.
  2. Match the qualification by the notified cut-off date.
  3. Calculate age on the notified reckoning date—not today.
  4. Apply category relaxation only when the notice lists it.
  5. Read post/force physical, licence, subject or skill conditions before preference selection.

Important limitation

SSCExam.in cannot decide an individual candidate’s eligibility. SSC and the appointing organisation make the final determination from the application, documents and notice.
