Important Notes From GSSSB on the Exam Calendar
This section summarizes the official caveats GSSSB has attached to the calendar so candidates know exactly how much weight to put on the dates.
- The calendar is being published purely to help candidates prepare cadre-wise in a systematic manner.
- The board has committed to conducting Preliminary and Mains exams broadly as per this month-wise plan, but the exam month and vacancy count for any cadre may change for administrative reasons such changes will be published on the official GSSSB website.
- Detailed notifications for all posts currently marked “Yet to be Published” will be released separately on the website in due course.
- A separate probable exam calendar covering January 2027 to June 2027 will be issued by the board later.
GSSSB Exam Calendar 2026: Why It Matters for Candidates
This section explains how aspirants should practically use this calendar in their exam preparation.
Because GSSSB conducts recruitment for dozens of Class-III cadres every year, candidates often struggle to track which exam is coming up next. This calendar solves that problem by giving a month-by-month roadmap, allowing you to:
- Prioritize revision for cadres with exams in the next 60–90 days.
- Track Mains exam months for Stenographer and CCE-1/CCE-2 groups separately from Preliminary exams.
- Watch for detailed notifications on posts still marked “yet to be published,” since applications for these will open before their listed exam month.
- Cross-check vacancy numbers against the final official advertisement once released, since figures in the calendar are provisional.
