SSC says it will tell candidates about any change only through its website. A candidate must not rely on messages from other sources. ## How does a candidate learn the exact date and city? SSC uploads the time table and the exam city for each candidate about **10 days before** the exam date. The candidate opens the SSC website and logs in with the registration details. SSC may also contact the candidate by email or SMS, but it does not promise to do so. If a candidate finds no details **one week before** the exam date, the candidate must contact the concerned Regional Office at once. The candidate must carry proof that the application was submitted. A late contact removes any claim for consideration. ## What details does a candidate need to contact SSC? SSC does not answer messages that lack the right details. Write these items in every message: - Registration number. - Roll number. - Registered email ID and mobile number. - Name and date of birth. - Name of the examination. The SSC headquarters help desk is **1800 309 3063**, a toll-free number. Each Regional Office also has its own number in the notice. ## What happens on the day of the exam? A candidate reports to the exam centre with the admission certificate and the right documents. Read the [admit card page](/article/ssc/ssc-chsl-2026/admit-card/) for the full list. The Tier-I paper lasts **60 minutes** with a 15-minute timer for each part. A candidate with a scribe facility gets 80 minutes. See the [exam pattern page](/article/ssc/ssc-chsl-2026/exam-pattern/) for the marks. SSC may hold the exam in many shifts. It then normalizes the scores. Candidates in different shifts can face papers of different difficulty, and normalization adjusts for this. ## How can a candidate use the days left? Use the [syllabus](/article/ssc/ssc-chsl-2026/syllabus/) as a checklist. Take timed tests in the same 15-minute format. Compare your score with the [previous year cutoff](/article/ssc/ssc-chsl-2026/previous-year-cutoff/). The [preparation strategy page](/article/ssc/ssc-chsl-2026/preparation-strategy/) gives a plan. ## What is the next step?
