Based on current estimates, the expected number of vacancies for top-rated examinations in 2026 is as follows:
SSC CGL (Combined Graduate Level): Following ~14,000 vacancies in 2025, the 2026 cycle expects 18,000 to 20,000 vacancies.
SSC CHSL (Combined Higher Secondary Level): Approximately 5,000 to 7,000 vacancies are anticipated.
Selection Post: An estimated 5,000 to 7,000 vacancies are expected.
MTS (Multi-Tasking Staff): This exam consistently offers a high number of positions, with an expectation of 50,000 to 60,000 vacancies.
GD (General Duty) Constable: Around 20,000 vacancies are anticipated.
Delhi Police: Approximately 7,000 to 8,000 vacancies are expected.
Cumulatively, these figures contribute to the projection of approximately 1 lakh recruitment opportunities in 2026, making it a crucial year for aspirants.
To succeed among millions of applicants, a selective and focused approach is necessary. A proper strategy involves understanding what to study and what to omit. The core of this strategy is to set a clear target and dedicate yourself to it.
A fundamental preparation sequence involves several key steps:
Clear the Basics: Build a strong foundation by thoroughly understanding all core concepts.
Practice with DPPs: Solve the Daily Practice Problems (DPPs) provided on the app after clearing concepts.
Solve Previous Year Questions (PYQs): Analyze past exam papers to understand patterns and question types.
Take Mock Tests & Test Series: Regularly attempt mock tests to simulate exam conditions and identify areas for improvement.
The combination of DPPs, Previous Year Questions, Mock Tests, and Test Series is considered the "Brahmastra" (a divine, ultimate weapon) for exam preparation. Failing to utilize these resources can set a candidate back by 50-70% compared to those who do.
