SSC GD Constable Exam 2026 Cancelled at Important Centres, New Exam Dates Announced

The Staff Selection Commission, SSC, has officially cancelled the GD Constable Exam 2026 at some specific examination centres, following the widespread reports of overbooking and administrative chaos. On May 26, 2026, the commission issued an official notification regarding the overcrowding situation, where centres with a capacity of 339 students were overcrowded with over 800 candidates, making it nearly impossible to conduct the SSC GD Constable exam fairly.

SSC GD Constable 2026: Exam Rescheduled and New Exam Dates 

Those candidates who were affected by the cancellation of the SSC GD Constable exam on May 25 and 26 have no need to worry. The Staff Selection Commission, Central Region, has confirmed that the exam will be rescheduled starting from May 27, 2026, onwards. Given below are some important updates for the candidates:-

• In some centres like Bhopal and the Central Region exam centres, the number of reporting candidates was 819, which was nearly double the number of the available seating capacity of the entres which was 399, leading to the immediate suspension of the shift. 
• All those candidates who were affected will have to download the fresh admit cards from the official SSC headquarters website, ssc.gov.in. These hall tickets will include the new exam centres, shift timings and revised dates.
• Apart from the overcrowding issue, the exam, which was originally scheduled for May 28, has been preponed to May 27 due to the revised government holiday for Eid al-Fitr.
• All candidates will have to undergo the Aadhaar e-KYC at the new venues as part of the important security protocol.

The SSC has also advised the candidates not to believe the unofficial social media rumours and rely solely and completely on the official portal for their specific shift updates.
