Admit Card Release – Why the Delay?
Though the exam schedule is officially fixed, SSC has yet to issue admit cards or even city intimation slips. The last update came on 10th September 2025 when SSC published the tentative vacancy breakup. Since then no fresh update has been posted on the main site or regional websites.
This delay has triggered speculation among aspirants- will the exams be postponed, or will the admit cards drop suddenly? If SSC sticks to its original plan, candidates can expect the admit cards to be uploaded on the portal at any moment.
