Overview
- The Staff Selection Commission reopened the online CGL 2026 application window for two days, starting June 23 and closing at 23:00 on June 25, giving a last chance to candidates who missed the original deadline.
- The commission extended the fee-payment deadline to 23:00 on June 26 and scheduled the application‑correction window from July 1 to July 3 so applicants can finish payments and edit submitted forms.
- SSC said the revised closing date of June 25 will be treated as the crucial eligibility cut-off, and all other terms of the May 21 notification remain unchanged.
- More than 28 lakh candidates had already filed applications during the initial window; new applicants must register at ssc.gov.in, complete Aadhaar verification, upload documents and pay the Rs 100 fee unless they qualify for statutory exemptions.
- Core exam details are unchanged: Tier I is a one‑hour CBT with 100 objective questions and 0.5 negative marking, Tier II remains scheduled for December 2026, and heavy website traffic or missed payments could block otherwise eligible candidates from competing.
