SSC Calendar 2026: Expected Release Date And Vacancy कितनी होंगी

SSC Calendar 2026: One of the most frequently asked, genuine questions from serious aspirants: "When will the SSC Calendar 2026 come? Should we start preparing for the 2026 exams right now?"

The answer is yes! Planning your preparation starts long before the notification for SSC CGL, CHSL, GD, MTS, etc. Based on an analysis of the last five years of SSC's calendar release pattern—which includes a initial Tentative Calendar followed by a Revised Calendar—we are sharing some highly probable dates and vacancy predictions.

SSC Calendar Release Date: A 5-Year Trend Analysis

To predict when the SSC Calendar 2026 might be released, we need to understand SSC’s historical rhythm. SSC usually releases its tentative calendars in two phases:

1. Initial Tentative SSC Calendar

Historically, SSC has often released its initial tentative calendar in the May-June window.

• Current Calendar (2025-26): Released around May 9th.

• Previous Year (2023-24): Released around May 19th.

• Another Year (2022-23): Released around July 6th.

Given that the current year’s major exams (including Tier-II and departmental exams) will likely conclude around March-April 2026, the Commission usually takes a short break before announcing the next year’s cycle.

Our Prediction: The first Tentative SSC Calendar 2026 is most likely to be released in May or June 2026.

2. Revised SSC Calendar (The Confirmed Dates)

Often, a Revised SSC Calendar comes out later in the year to adjust dates based on various factors.

• This typically happens between September and November.

• In a normal cycle, the 2026 calendar should have appeared in Sep-Nov 2025. However, due to several schedule changes this year (exams being postponed, etc.), this segment was missed.

Therefore, the primary window to watch is May-June 2026.

SSC Vacancy Prediction 2026: कितनी होंगी Vacancy?

Predicting exact vacancies is almost impossible, but by looking at historical trends and the weightage of different exams, as per the previous data, the total number of SSC vacancies is predicted.

All major SSC exams: CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD (Constable), CPO, Stenographer, and SSC JE are taken into consideration.

Final Prediction: Given the trends, including the significant volume from GD and a good flow from CGL, we can confidently expect the total number of vacancies across all SSC exams for the 2026 cycle to be in the range of 60,000 to 70,000, possibly even slightly higher. This is a very encouraging number for aspirants!

The official SSC Calendar for 2026-27 was released on the SSC website (ssc.gov.in), and candidates are advised to check there regularly for updates and detailed schedules, as dates can still be subject to change.
