The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially announced new dates for the combined Higher Education Secondary Level (CHSL) 2025 Tier-1 exam after postponing the earlier schedule. The exam originally set for September 8 to 18, 2025, has been deferred to November 12, 2025 onwards. All the other previously declared events- such as the application window (June 23, 2025 to July 18, 2025), the correction window (July 25 to 26, 2025) and number of vacancies for posts like Junior Secretary Assistant (JSA) and Data Entry Operator (DEO) remains valid unless SSC specifies changes. The Self Slot Selection Facility for SSC CHSL 2025 will be available from October 22 to 28, 2025, and is mandatory for all candidates.
Students are also advised to keep their documents ready, including a photo, signature, educational certificate, and identification, as the commission will likely enforce strict verification during entry. Any discrepancies in the admit card details, once released, should be promptly addressed via SSC’S correction mechanism. The SSC CHSL Admit Card is expected to be issued a few days before the exam.
