SSC CGL 2026 exam calendar
Tier 1 runs from 30 Sep to 30 Oct 2026. Every date for this cycle is on this page, from notification to final result, with a countdown to each tier. Add them to your phone calendar so you don't miss the admit card or the answer-key objection window. The objection window is only a few days.
Works with Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar. Re-download it when dates are confirmed. The same event IDs update the entries instead of duplicating them.
