📌 Important Takeaway
The first two dates — 8 September and 9–12 September — are officially mentioned in the latest SSC notice. The dates for Phase-XIV and SSC CGL are currently an expected timeline based on the examination sequence and available indications. They should not be treated as final dates until SSC publishes an official notice.
📅 Combined Hindi Translators 2026
SSC has scheduled the Combined Hindi Translators Examination, 2026 for:
8 September 2026
The examination will be conducted in Computer Based Examination (CBE) mode. This is an important update for candidates preparing for JHT/JHT-related posts because the exam date is now officially confirmed.
⌨️ Stenographer Grade 'C' & 'D' 2026
The SSC Stenographer Grade 'C' & 'D' Examination, 2026 is scheduled to be conducted from:
9 September to 12 September 2026
Candidates preparing for Stenographer Grade C and D should therefore start treating the first half of September as the final preparation window.
🟡 Selection Post Phase-XIV 2026
Based on the current examination sequence, Selection Post Phase-XIV is expected around:
18 September – 24 September 2026
The official SSC calendar had placed Phase-XIV within the May–July 2026 examination window. However, the examination has not been conducted within that original window.
⚠️ This is an expected date range and is not officially confirmed by SSC yet.
When will SSC CGL 2026 Tier-I be conducted?
The original SSC calendar had placed CGL Tier-I in the May–June 2026 period. With the latest September examination schedule now available, the current expectation is that SSC CGL 2026 Tier-I could begin around the end of September.
🎯 Expected CGL Start
Around 30 September 2026
Broader expectation: Last week of September – early October 2026
However, SSC has not officially announced the exact CGL Tier-I dates yet, so candidates should not consider 30 September as a confirmed date.
Expected SSC Exam Sequence
What Should CGL Aspirants Do Now?
Instead of waiting for the exact CGL date, candidates should prepare as though the examination is going to start in the last week of September.
If the examination eventually starts around 30 September, candidates who start their final revision now will have a significant advantage over those waiting for the official date.
🚨 Latest SSC Update
Don't wait for the exact CGL date. Prepare as if SSC CGL Tier-I is going to begin around the end of September 2026.
