SSC CHSL 2025 Tier I Exam Postponed: Revised Dates and Admit Card Release Expected Soon

A crucial update for aspirants of the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination (CHSL) 2025: the Tier I exam, originally slated for September, has been postponed. The Staff Selection Commission is expected to announce the revised Tier I exam dates shortly on its official website, ssc.gov.in.

This change comes as the initial schedule, which had the Tier I exam running from September 8 to September 18, 2025, overlapped with the rescheduled SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2025 Tier I examination. While an official notification detailing the new dates is still awaited, speculation suggests the CHSL Tier I exam is tentatively expected to be held in October 2025, following the conclusion of the CGL exam.

SSC CHSL 2025 Admit Card Release

The release of the SSC CHSL 2025 Tier I Admit Card is directly linked to the official exam dates. Following standard procedure, the Staff Selection Commission typically issues the hall ticket approximately 3 to 4 days before the candidate’s scheduled examination date.

Since the Tier I exam has been deferred, candidates should not expect the admit cards to be released until the new exam schedule is officially published.

How to Download the Admit Card

Once the revised dates are announced and the admit cards are available, candidates can download their hall tickets from the official regional websites of the Staff Selection Commission. The process generally involves the following steps:

1. Visit the official SSC website, ssc.gov.in, or your respective regional SSC website (e.g., sscnr.net.in, sscer.org, etc.).
2. Navigate to the ‘Admit Card’ section.
3. Click on the link for “Download Admit Card for Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination – 2025 (Tier-I)”.
4. Enter the required login credentials, typically your Registration ID or Roll Number, and your Date of Birth or Password.
5. View, download, and print a clear copy of your admit card.

Candidates must carry the printed admit card along with a valid photo identity proof to the examination center on the day of the test. Without a valid admit card, entry to the examination hall will be denied.

Preparation Strategy During the Extension

The postponement provides candidates with an unexpected extension for their preparation. Aspirants should utilize this time effectively by:

• Revision: Focus on consolidating their understanding of challenging subjects, particularly Quantitative Aptitude and English Language.
• Mock Tests: Increase the frequency of full-length mock tests under timed conditions to simulate the actual exam environment and improve time management.
• Previous Year Papers: Analyze and solve previous years’ SSC CHSL papers to understand the latest exam pattern and types of questions asked.

Stay informed and focus on maximizing this preparation window to secure a successful outcome in the SSC CHSL 2025 Tier I exam.
