SSC MTS is conducted by Staff Selection Commission (SSC).

Latest 2026 status

If the official SSC MTS 2026 notification PDF is already live on ssc.gov.in, the verified application window, fee and exam date appear in the live-updates section below this article. If no 2026 notification has been released yet, treat any date floating on social media as tentative; this page is updated only when Staff Selection Commission publishes the official advertisement.

Posts recruited through SSC MTS

SSC MTS typically recruits for the following posts/services. The exact basket of posts in any particular cycle depends on indents from the user departments and is restated in the official notification.

• Multi Tasking Staff (MTS) — General Central Service Group C
• Havaldar — CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs)
• Havaldar — CBN (Central Bureau of Narcotics)

Eligibility overview

SSC MTS is open to Indian citizens who have passed the 10th standard (matriculation) or equivalent from a recognised board on the cut-off date specified in the official notification. Havaldar posts have additional physical-standard requirements. Check the official notification for exact age relaxation and post-wise standards.

Always read the eligibility paragraph in the official SSC MTS notification verbatim — the educational qualification, the recognising authority of the certifying body and the cut-off date for age and qualification are non-negotiable.

Selection process

SSC MTS follows a structured, multi-stage selection process:

1. Computer-Based Examination (Session I and Session II)
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST) — only for Havaldar posts
3. Document Verification

Each stage is qualifying for the next. The exact weightage of stages and the formula for the final merit list are defined in the official notification for the cycle and may vary slightly between cycles.

How to verify any update for SSC MTS

The single authoritative source for SSC MTS updates is the official Staff Selection Commission portal at ssc.gov.in. Every paragraph on this page is written from the long-term, evergreen structure of SSC MTS — the post profile, the selection process and the broad shape of the syllabus and exam pattern. Specifics such as the exact application window, the cycle-wise vacancy count, the precise application fee, the cut-off marks, the venue allotment, the answer key release schedule and the final result date are always cycle-specific. For those, open the latest official notification PDF on ssc.gov.in and read the relevant clause directly.

We refresh this page when Staff Selection Commission publishes new SSC MTS information so that the structural details here stay aligned with the latest official guidance. We do not publish unverified release dates, leaked answer keys, rumoured vacancy splits or unofficial cut-off claims. If a date is uncertain, this page will say so plainly and point you to the official notification rather than guess.

Things to avoid while preparing for SSC MTS

• Do not rely on a single coaching prediction for the application window or the exam date — the only binding source is the official SSC notification on ssc.gov.in.
• Do not assume that age relaxation, fee or syllabus weightage from a previous cycle automatically applies to the current cycle. Reservation clauses and fee structures are restated in every notification.
• Do not trust unofficial answer keys, leaked papers or social-media cut-off claims; the official answer key window is the only safe input for raw-score estimation.
• Do not delay document collection. Class 10, Class 12, graduation, category, EWS, PwBD and ID proofs in the prescribed format should be ready before the application window opens — a missing certificate at verification can lead to disqualification.
• Do not skip the official mock test on the SSC portal before the computer-based stage — familiarity with the testing interface saves crucial minutes on exam day.
