SSC exam-centre cancellations 2026: what affected candidates should do

During the 2026 cycle, the Staff Selection Commission cancelled examinations at several centres after technical failures, server issues and reported overcrowding — including SSC GD Constable shifts at centres in Uttar Pradesh (Prayagraj, Kanpur, Lucknow, Gorakhpur) and Bihar, and earlier SSC MTS shift cancellations. Affected candidates were scheduled for re-examination on fresh dates, with new admit cards issued for the rescheduled slots.

The official position is that genuinely affected candidates are not penalised: SSC re-conducts the exam for them and issues a fresh admit card on ssc.gov.in. Do not act on social-media lists of 'cancelled centres' — confirm your own status and rescheduled date from the official notice and your candidate login only.

These disruptions are stressful, but a rescheduled date is also extra preparation time. Keep your timed practice going so a new exam date works in your favour rather than against it — take a free SSC mock on Kamiyab below.
