SSC CHSL application form 2026
The SSC CHSL 2026 application form opened on 7 September 2026 and had to be submitted online by 7 October 2026 (11:00 PM). This cycle every applicant needs a fresh One Time Registration (OTR) on the new SSC portal, because the old OTR does not carry over. Applications are taken only through ssc.gov.in or the mySSC app.

Check eligibility before you apply
Age and qualification are judged on different dates, so check both.
- Age (as on 01-08-2026): 18 to 27 years, i.e. born not before 02-08-1999 and not after 01-08-2008. Reserved categories get relaxation (5 years SC/ST, 3 years OBC, 10–15 years PwBD and more).
- Qualification (as on 07-10-2026): Class 12 pass from a recognised board. DEO posts in the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, SSC and the Ministry of Culture need 12th in Science with Mathematics. Students awaiting their 12th result may apply only if the result is declared before this date.
The full relaxation table is on the SSC CHSL eligibility page.

If SSC does not receive the fee in time, the form stays "Incomplete" and is rejected, so confirm the payment status straight after submitting.
How to fill the SSC CHSL application form
- Create a fresh OTR on the new SSC website. Aadhaar-based authentication is recommended because it makes the rest of the process smoother.
- Log in and complete the form with personal, educational and category details.
- Capture a live photograph. The form opens your camera and takes the photo directly; old photos are not accepted. Sit in good light against a plain background, without a cap, mask or spectacles.
- Upload your signature as a JPEG/JPG of 10–20 KB, about 6 cm × 2 cm.
- Pay the fee online if you are not in an exempt category.
- Preview and submit. Use the Preview/Print option to check every field, then save the confirmation page.
Candidates who choose Aadhaar authentication will not be rejected over photo or signature problems and do not need an original photo ID on exam day.
SSC CHSL form correction window 2026
- Open only from 14-10-2026 to 16-10-2026 (11:00 PM).
- A flat charge of ₹200 applies to each correction attempt.
- Available only to candidates who submitted the form by 07-10-2026.
- The charge is non-refundable and no edits are possible after the window shuts.
Documents to keep ready
You do not upload certificates with the form, but you will need them at document verification.
| Document | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Class 12 marksheet / certificate | Proof of qualification |
| Photo ID / Class 10 certificate | Date of birth verification |
| Category certificate | SC / ST / OBC / EWS / PwBD claims |
| Disability certificate | PwBD benefits or scribe |
| Ex-Serviceman certificate | ESM category |
Apply early: the website slows down heavily near the deadline. After applying, follow the SSC CHSL notification page for exam dates.
