What this means for candidates: Your exam is not necessarily on any single fixed day within this window — SSC conducts multi-shift CBT exams across several dates for a large candidate base, and your specific date and shift will be confirmed on your Admission Certificate. Since the window is now three days longer, don’t assume you’ll be tested early in the cycle; keep checking your login for the confirmed date rather than guessing based on the old schedule.

SSC Own Scribe OTR Mapping: What Changed and Why It Matters
This is the part most admit-card articles miss, and it’s the one with a real deadline attached.
If you registered a scribe before 5 November 2025, that registration no longer works — SSC disposed off all scribe registrations made before that date. Scribe registration is now tied to Aadhaar Authentication, so every scribe must complete a fresh registration on SSC’s website before they can be linked to a candidate.
Once your scribe has a fresh, Aadhaar-linked registration, you still need to actively map that registration to your own candidature — SSC calls this “Scribe OTR mapping.” This step is separate from the scribe simply registering. Your Scribe Entry Pass is generated only if this mapping is completed successfully.
The mapping deadlines are exam-specific:
- Combined Hindi Translator Examination 2026 (Tier-I): map by 6 September 2026, 11:00 PM.
- Stenographer Grade ‘C’ & ‘D’ Examination 2026 (Tier-I): map by 7 September 2026, 11:00 PM.
Miss this window, and SSC will not generate a Scribe Entry Pass for your scribe — regardless of whether the scribe’s own registration is valid. The maximum permissible age limit for a scribe is governed by SSC’s updated Policy No. PP001/14/2024-PP (e-10280), dated 4 November 2025; all other scribe eligibility rules stay as per each exam’s original notice.
SSC Exam City Slip Is Not Your Admit Card
Your exam city detail confirms only where you’ll travel to write the exam. It does not carry your roll number, reporting time, exam centre address, or the photo/signature verification needed at the gate — those come only in the actual Admission Certificate, released separately closer to your exam date. Don’t plan your travel or reporting time off the city slip alone.
How to Check SSC Exam City 2026

A Note From the Notifyhere Team
If you’re arranging your own scribe, don’t treat this as a formality — get the Aadhaar-linked registration and OTR mapping done well before the deadline, not on the last day. A missed mapping means no Entry Pass for your scribe, and there’s no described grace period in SSC’s notice.
