🎯 Why the Postponement Matters

The SSC GD Constable exam is one of the major recruitment examinations in India, conducted annually for thousands of job seekers aiming to join paramilitary forces like:

• Border Security Force (BSF)
• Central Industrial Security Force (CISF)
• Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF)
• Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP)
• Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB)
• Assam Rifles
• Security Force (SSF)

Although the commission hasn’t officially stated the exact reasons for postponement, logistical adjustments and overlapping exam schedules are considered common causes in large-scale recruitments like this.

🧑‍🎓 What Aspirants Should Do Now

• Stay updated: Candidates should regularly check the official SSC website (ssc.gov.in) for the latest announcements.
• Prepare as planned: Continue with your preparation as the exam has not been cancelled but delayed.
• Keep documents ready: Ensure all application and identification documents are ready for future phases such as PET/PST once the CBT is completed.
