How to Check the Exam City and Download the Admission Certificate
- Go to the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in.
- Open the designated candidate login module named in the notice. The notice does not state which credentials this login requires — check the login page itself or the earlier detailed notice for the exact combination.
- Log in to view the assigned examination city now. This is available immediately; the notice does not describe it as a separate downloadable slip.
- Return to the same login module closer to the exam date to download the Admission Certificate, once it is live. The notice says this will tentatively happen 2 to 3 days before the respective exam date, so it is not available yet.
- For step-by-step instructions specific to each exam, the notice points candidates to the detailed notices published on 23 April 2026 (Hindi Translator Examination) and 24 April 2026 (Stenographer Examination) on the SSC website.
- Once the Admission Certificate is live, save a copy and print it, since examination centres commonly require a printed copy rather than a phone screen. This is added context, not part of the official notice. Confirm with the official website.
Own Scribe Facility — Registration and OTR Mapping Deadline
Candidates who plan to appear with their own scribe in either exam may need to complete a fresh scribe registration on the Commission’s website. Scribe registrations made before 5 November 2025 have been disposed of so an existing older registration will not carry over.
Scribe registration is now linked to Aadhaar Authentication, and this fresh registration is mandatory for anyone who wants to enrol or appear as a scribe. Candidates using the own-scribe facility must also submit their scribe’s registration number so the Scribe’s Entry Pass can be generated; the pass is issued only to candidates who complete this mapping.
The maximum permissible age for a person appearing as an own scribe follows the Commission’s updated policy No. PP001/14/2024-PP (e-10280) dated 4 November 2025. The rest of the scribe guidelines remain as set out in the notice of the respective examination.

Details to Check on Your Admission Certificate
Once the Admission Certificate is live, candidates should check the following before leaving for the exam: name, photograph, signature, date of birth, category, exam date, and the allotted examination city. This is added context, not part of the official notice. Confirm with the official website. The notice does not mention a correction or grievance route for this specific announcement — candidates with a discrepancy should check the SSC website or the detailed notice for their exam.
