What to carry to the SSC GD CBT exam

Mandatory documents

• SSC GD Constable Admit Card 2026 (2-3 printed copies)
• One valid government photo ID in original (Aadhaar / Passport / Driving Licence / Voter ID / PAN — must match the name on the admit card)
• 2 recent passport-size photographs (matching the photo on the admit card)
• Pen (blue/black ball-point — for any rough work and signing the attendance sheet)

Not allowed inside the exam hall

• Electronic devices (mobile phones, smart watches, calculators, fitness bands, Bluetooth earphones, etc.)
• Books, notes, study material
• Bags, wallets, water bottles (typically allowed in the cloakroom outside the hall)
• Edibles
• Any metal objects (rings, chains, earrings beyond a small earring — SSC has strict frisking)

SSC GD CBT pattern (per the 2026 notification)

• Duration: 60 minutes
• Marking: +2 for correct, -0.25 for incorrect (negative marking)
• Mode: Computer-Based Test (CBT) at SSC-authorised centres
• Medium: English / Hindi / 13 regional languages (selected at application stage)

Critical: The -0.25 negative marking means selective attempts beat blind guessing. Aim for 60-70 attempts with 80%+ accuracy rather than 80 attempts with 60% accuracy.

SSC GD selection process — what comes after the CBT

Stage 2 — Physical Efficiency Test (PET) + Physical Standards Test (PST)

• PET: Long run — Male 5 km in 24 minutes; Female 1.6 km in 8.5 minutes (with category relaxations for Scheduled Tribes + hill-area candidates).
• PST: Height, chest measurement, and weight per the relevant force + gender + category. Standards: Male 170 cm height (167 for SC/ST), 80-85 cm chest (with 5 cm expansion); Female 157 cm height (154 for SC/ST).
• Qualifying only — pass/fail; marks do not add to the composite.
• See our SSC GD PET/PST Standards Guide for the complete physical-fitness specifications.

Stage 3 — Document Verification (DV)

• Originals: Class 10 marksheet + certificate, Aadhaar, domicile certificate, category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS), PwBD certificate (if applicable), Ex-Servicemen discharge certificate (if applicable).
• Cross-check against the application data.

Stage 4 — Medical Examination

• Standard CAPF medical board — vision (corrected to 6/6), hearing, dental, BMI, chronic conditions check, skin (no major tattoos in restricted areas — varies by force).
• Force-specific medical standards apply (CISF has the strictest vision requirements; BSF + ITBP have altitude-fitness expectations for high-altitude posting).

Final Merit + Force Allocation

Composite = CBT marks (out of 160), subject to PET/PST + Medical + DV clearance. Force allocation per merit rank + candidate preference + force-wise vacancy availability.
