📅 Published: 10 Sep 2026

📌 Short Information

Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has opened the online form for the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination 2026. Around 2,536 vacancies are currently notified for LDC, JSA, DEO and DEO Grade 'A' posts in different Central Government offices and departments. Candidates who have passed Class 12 can apply online from 07 September to 07 October 2026. However, the qualification requirement is slightly different for DEO posts in some departments, so candidates planning to choose a DEO preference should check the eligibility carefully instead of relying only on the general 12th-pass requirement. SSC will conduct the selection through Tier-I and Tier-II. The examination dates have not been announced yet, so applicants should complete the form within the given schedule and follow SSC updates for the exam timetable.
