SSC CGL Exam Date 2026: Tier I and Tier II Official Schedule
Tier I is tentatively scheduled for August-September 2026. Tier II is tentatively scheduled for December 2026.
SSC has announced the examination windows, not every candidate’s exact date and shift.
At the last verification, SSC’s notice board did not show a later CGL 2026 date notice. Candidate-specific city information is normally posted about 10 days before the exam, and the admission certificate 2-3 days before it.

Can the month change?
