Importance of the SSC GD City Intimation Slip
Many candidates often confuse the City Intimation Slip with the actual Admit Card. It is important to note that the City Intimation Slip is NOT the Admit Card.
The slip is provided purely for advance information. Since the SSC GD exam is conducted across various centers in India, knowing your exam city 7–10 days before the test allows you to:
- Book Travel: If your center is in a different city, you can book bus or train tickets early.
- Arrange Accommodation: Find a place to stay if the exam city is far from your residence.
- Confirm Exam Date: Knowing your specific shift and date helps you streamline your final week of revision.
The official Admit Card, which contains the exact address of the exam center and room number, will be released separately 3 to 5 days before your specific exam date.
SSC GD 2026 Exam Schedule (Phase-Wise)
The SSC has scheduled the Computer-Based Test in four distinct windows to manage the massive number of applicants. Here is the breakdown:
Phase 1: April 27 to May 2, 2026
Phase 2: May 4 to May 9, 2026
Phase 3: May 18 to May 23, 2026

Ensure you check your city slip immediately to see which phase your exam falls under.

Final Strategy for SSC GD 2026 Aspirants
With the exam starting on April 27, you have very little time left. Focus on the following areas to maximize your score:
1. Focus on Mock Tests
Take at least one full-length mock test every day. This will help you manage the 60-minute time limit more effectively. Focus on the four sections: General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics, and English/Hindi.
2. Revise Key Topics
Reasoning: Coding-Decoding, Series, and Analogies.
Maths: Percentages, Profit & Loss, and Time & Work.
GK: Focus on current affairs from the last 6 months and basic static GK about India.
3. Review the Syllabus
Don’t try to learn anything entirely new in the last week. Instead, strengthen what you already know.
