Frequently asked questions
Can candidates appearing in Class 12 apply for SSC CHSL 2026?
Yes, students who appeared for their Class 12 exams can submit the form. However, they must possess documentary proof of having passed the qualifying examination on or before 07 October 2026, otherwise their candidature will stand cancelled during document verification.
What is the new change introduced in the SSC CHSL Tier 1 examination?
Staff Selection Commission has introduced sectional timings for Tier 1. Each of the four test subjects now has a mandatory 15-minute clock, meaning candidates must manage time within individual sections rather than spreading the combined one-hour duration freely across the paper.
Can I use my old registration ID from ssc.nic.in to apply?
No. Registrations created on the older ssc.nic.in website are no longer valid for ongoing exams. Every applicant must generate a fresh One-Time Registration profile on the revised portal, ssc.gov.in, before submitting the CHSL 2026 application form.
What are the educational requirements for Data Entry Operator positions?
For general DEO posts, passing Class 12 from any recognised board is sufficient. For DEO Grade A vacancies in specific departments like the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General, candidates must have cleared Class 12 in Science with Mathematics.
What is the application fee for female and reserved category applicants?
Women candidates of all categories, along with applicants belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities, and Ex-Servicemen eligible for reservation, are completely exempt from paying any examination fee for SSC CHSL 2026.
