SSC GD admit card 2026
The SSC GD admit card 2026 was released on the official website from 25 April 2026, two days before the Computer Based Examination began on 27 April 2026. Candidates downloaded it by logging in with their registration number (or roll number) and password or date of birth. Without a printed admit card and a valid photo ID, you cannot enter the exam hall.
Before the admit card, SSC held a self slot selection window (11–15 April 2026) and issued the exam city slip on 19 April 2026, so candidates knew their city in advance.
