The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has announced a revision in the schedule for the Constable (GD) in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), SSF, and Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles Examination 2026. As per the latest official notice, the examination will now be conducted on May 27, 2026, instead of the previously scheduled date of May 28, 2026.
Why this decision?
The decision to advance the examination by a day was taken after the Department of Personnel & Training (DoP&T) issued an Office Memorandum regarding a change in the holiday date for Id-ul-Zuha (Bakri-eid). SSC stated that the revision was necessary as the earlier examination date coincided with the updated government holiday schedule.
