Candidate-action update | SSC corrigendum dated 26 October 2026
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) revised the proposed examination dates for two 2026 recruitment examinations through a corrigendum dated 26 October 2026, reference HQ-EC033/7/2025-EC. The change affects Junior Engineer (JE) Examination 2026 Paper-I and the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces Examination 2026. The first revised JE window begins on 2 November 2026.
Revised schedule at a glance
| Examination | Mode / stage | Revised proposed dates |
|---|---|---|
| Junior Engineer Examination 2026 | Paper-I, Computer Based Examination (CBE) | 2–6 November 2026 and 30 November–1 December 2026 |
| Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPFs Examination 2026 | CBE | 23–28 November 2026 |
The corrigendum revises the schedule communicated in SSC’s Important Notice dated 1 October 2026. The dates are described as proposed/revised dates; candidates should follow any later SSC notice and the date, shift and reporting time shown in their own Admission Certificate.
SSC JE Paper-I: examination starts today
The first Paper-I window runs from Monday, 2 November to Friday, 6 November 2026. A second window is scheduled for 30 November and 1 December 2026. The Commission’s 23 October notice addressed examination-city information and Admission Certificates for Paper-I. City information and the Admission Certificate are not interchangeable: the certificate contains the personal venue and reporting instructions.
Registered candidates should:
- Sign in through the official SSC website or the relevant regional portal.
- Confirm the exact date and shift allotted to their application; do not assume every candidate sits on the first day.
- Download and read the complete Admission Certificate, including centre address, reporting/entry time, photo-ID requirements and prohibited items.
- Plan travel using the centre address and arrive within the permitted reporting window.
- Keep checking the Commission’s Notice Board for any further change or candidate instruction.
The tentative vacancy list for SSC JE 2026 was reported as 1,748 posts in the 8 October notice. That is a tentative vacancy figure, not a final appointment total, and it does not change the revised examination schedule.
SSC SI Delhi Police/CAPF 2026: November CBE
The Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces Examination 2026 is now proposed for 23–28 November 2026 in Computer Based Examination mode. The corrigendum is a date revision for registered applicants; it is not a new recruitment advertisement or an extension of the application window. Candidates should watch for the separate city-intimation and Admission Certificate notice from SSC/Regional Offices.
Do not confuse this with SSC CPO 2025 Paper-II
A separate SSC notice dated 29 October 2026 declared PET/PST results for the 2025 SI recruitment cycle. It reported 10,676 candidates qualified for Paper-II, tentatively scheduled for 28 November 2026. That is a different cohort and stage from the 2026 SI CBE scheduled for 23–28 November. Candidates must read the examination year in every notice before acting.
