SSC CGL Tier 1 Admit Card 2026: The Staff Selection Commission has released the SSC CGL City Intimation Slip 2026 on 22 September 2026 at ssc.gov.in. This slip provides the city and date allotted for your Tier 1 exam, so applicants can plan travel and stay well in advance. The city slip is not the entry pass to the exam hall. It only shares your exam city and date, while the admit card carries the full centre address, reporting time, and shift details.
The admit card is expected to go live 2–3 days before the exam date, and the SSC CGL Tier 1 exam will run from 30 September to 30 October 2026 in computer-based mode.

SSC CGL Tier 1 Exam Details
The Tier 1 exam runs in four shifts each day. Your exact shift and reporting time will be printed on your admit card, so always confirm those details once your hall ticket is out. Here are the reported timings for all four shifts:
Shift | Reporting Time | Gate Closing Time | Exam Time |
|---|---|---|---|
Shift 1 | 7:45 AM | 8:30 AM | 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM |
Shift 2 | 10:30 AM | 11:15 AM | 11:45 AM – 12:45 PM |
Shift 3 | 1:15 PM | 2:00 PM | 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM |
Shift 4 | 4:00 PM | 4:45 PM | 5:15 PM – 6:15 PM |
Reach your centre by the reporting time. Once the gate closes, no candidate is allowed inside, so give yourself extra buffer for traffic.

Documents to Carry on Exam Day
Getting inside the centre needs more than just showing up. Carry these on exam day:
- A clear printout of your SSC CGL Tier 1 admit card.
- One original, valid photo ID that shows your date of birth (such as Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, Voter ID, or Driving Licence).
- An extra original date-of-birth proof if your photo ID does not show your date of birth.
- Two recent passport-size colour photographs, especially if you could not complete Aadhaar-based authentication.
- The prescribed scribe certificates and undertaking, if you are using a scribe.
Make sure the details on your ID match those on your admit card. Even a small mismatch in name or date of birth can stop you from entering the hall.
