The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) issued an important notice on 12 August 2026 announcing the Computer-Based Examination (CBE) schedule for two ongoing recruitment exams: the Combined Hindi Translators Examination, 2026, and the Stenographer Grade ‘C’ and ‘D’ Examination, 2026. SSC JHT & Stenographer Exam notice, numbered F. No. HQ-EC033/7/2025-EC, is signed by the Under Secretary to the Government of India and is available on the official SSC notice PDF. Both exams were notified earlier in 2026, and candidates who already applied have been waiting for this exact schedule.
This notice covers only the exam dates. It does not carry vacancy numbers, salary, eligibility or application details — those were published earlier in each exam’s own recruitment notification. Candidates should check all details in the article below.

About the Staff Selection Commission
The Staff Selection Commission recruits staff for various ministries, departments and organisations of the Government of India. It runs some of the country’s most applied-for exams, including CGL, CHSL and the two exams in this notice. The Commission announces exam dates separately from the main recruitment notification, and this 12 August notice is one such schedule announcement rather than a new vacancy release.
What this notice does and does not tell you
This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the official website. A schedule notice like this one is different from an admit card. It confirms the month and date SSC has approved for the exam, but it does not release the hall ticket, the exam city, or the shift timing — those come in a separate admit card notice closer to the exam. Job portals covering this update have shown different vacancy figures for both exams in past coverage, so candidates should treat only the original recruitment notification on ssc.gov.in, not any secondary summary, as the source for vacancy count, eligibility and salary.
The Combined Hindi Translators Examination is conducted in two papers: Paper-I is the objective test, and Paper-II is a separate descriptive paper for translation work. This notice sets the Paper-I date only. This is added context, not part of the official notification — SSC has not announced a Paper-II date in this notice, and none should be assumed.

The notice does not give a reporting time, gate closing time, or shift-wise breakdown for either exam. These will follow with the admit card.
What should candidates do now?
This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the official website.
- Keep the SSC website open for the admit card notice, since SSC has directly advised candidates to check for updates at regular intervals.
- Keep the registration number and password used at the time of application ready, since these are typically needed to download the admit card once it is released.
- Recheck the category, post preference and exam city option already submitted in the original application, since correction windows for these usually close well before the exam.

FAQs
What is the SSC Stenographer exam date 2026?
The Stenographer Grade ‘C’ and ‘D’ Examination, 2026 will be held from 9 to 12 September 2026 in Computer-Based Examination mode, as per the SSC notice dated 12 August 2026.
What is the SSC JHT (Combined Hindi Translators) exam date in 2026?
Paper-I of the Combined Hindi Translators Examination, 2026 is scheduled for 8 September 2026 in Computer-Based Examination mode. The notice does not give a Paper-II date.
Has the SSC admit card for these exams been released?
No. The 12 August 2026 notice only confirms the exam dates. The admit card, exam city and shift timing are not mentioned in this notice and will be announced separately on ssc.gov.in.
Why does the Stenographer exam span four days while the Hindi Translators exam is one day?
This is added context, not part of the official notification. SSC generally conducts a Computer-Based Examination across multiple days and shifts when the candidate volume is high, so that every candidate gets a seat and a fair, normalised set of questions. The notice itself does not explain the four-day span; it only confirms the dates.
