SSC has announced that the JE Paper-II examination will be held on April 7, 2026. And the CHSL Tier-II exam will be held on April 10, 2026.
The candidates appearing for the above-mentioned examinations need to be ready and should download all the documents before the date of the examinations.

The commission has announced a clear schedule for the release dates. The JE Paper-II exam city slip will be released on March 27, 2026, and admit cards will be released on April 4, 2026.

What is the SSC exam city slip, and why is it important
The exam city slip is an intimation to the candidate about the city where the exam centre will be held. Candidates can make all necessary travel and accommodation arrangements once they receive the city slip.
However, the Staff Selection Commission has clarified that the city slip is not a valid entry document to the examination hall. The candidate will have to carry the admit card along with a valid ID proof to access the examination hall.
