SSC GD PET/PST 2026 Exam Date

SSC GD PET/PST 2026 — Physical Test starts 26 November 2026

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Constable (GD) Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Standard Test (PET/PST) start on 26 November 2026, with the window running into the second week of December 2026. CareerPower reports 26 November to 11 December 2026 at 31 recruitment centres. The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is the nodal force conducting the tests.

Read the basis of this post carefully. No official CRPF or SSC notice PDF for the PET/PST dates could be read in this scan: rect.crpf.gov.in is unreachable, ssc.gov.in loads only as an Angular shell whose notice data cannot be reached, and the CRPF homepage carries no GD or PET link. The dates here rest on the unanimous secondary consensus of five independent sources (CareerPower, Testbook, FreeJobAlert, InfusionNotes and RightGuruji), all giving 26 November 2026 as the start, with CareerPower attributing it to a CRPF announcement. This is the same secondary-consensus basis used for the CPCT admit card, the MP Police Constable exam date and the BSSC Stenographer exam date. Your own date and centre are only on your admit card — do not treat the dates here as your personal schedule.
