SSC CGL 2026 Tier I Admit Card — Staff Selection Commission

As per the official notification, the admit card will be released on the SSC website (ssc.gov.in) during a specified window before the examination. The exact date is typically announced 1–2 weeks in advance. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official portal or subscribe to SSC notifications for the precise release date.

You will need your SSC CGL application registration number and date of birth (exactly as entered during registration) to log in to the admit card portal. Some candidates may also be required to enter their email ID or mobile number associated with their application. Ensure you have this information handy before visiting the download portal.

You must carry the printed admit card and a valid government-issued photo identification such as Aadhaar card, passport, PAN card, driving licence, or voter ID. The exam centre staff will verify these documents before allowing you to sit for the examination. Keep both in a safe, separate folder.

Minor discrepancies such as spelling errors in name or date of birth should be reported immediately to the SSC Help Desk via the official website or by calling their contact number. For significant corrections, you may need to submit an application with supporting documents (e.g., birth certificate, school leaving certificate). Do this well before the exam date to avoid complications.

The admit card displays your roll number, name, registration number, date of birth, exam date, exam shift (morning/afternoon), examination centre address and code, reporting time, and a set of important instructions regarding prohibited items and exam conduct rules. It also includes a photograph (if uploaded during application) and your signature.

If you have forgotten your registration number, visit the SSC website and look for the 'Forgotten Registration Number' or 'Registration Recovery' option. You will need to provide your name, date of birth, and email ID or mobile number registered during application to retrieve it. Alternatively, contact the SSC Help Desk with proof of identity.

The SSC CGL admit card is typically issued in English. However, instructions and some general information may be available in both English and Hindi on the SSC portal. The admit card itself should be printed as provided without any alterations or translations.

You can download and print a duplicate copy from the SSC website using your registration number and date of birth. The duplicate will be identical to the original. However, if the download window has closed, contact the SSC Help Desk or your designated examination centre for assistance. Always keep a scanned or digital copy as backup.

The admit card specifies a 'reporting time' (usually 15–30 minutes before the actual test begins). You should arrive at the examination centre at least 30 minutes before this reporting time to allow for security checks, verification, and seating arrangements. Arriving late may result in denial of entry.

Yes, you can download the admit card on your mobile phone and save it as a PDF. However, SSC requires a **printed, clear copy** to be presented at the examination centre—a soft copy on your phone is not accepted as proof of admission. Print it on A4 white paper and keep it in good condition.
