SSC CPO Admit Card 2026: Paper-I City Slip, PET/PST Call Letter

The SSC CPO 2026 (Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPFs) Paper-I admit card is not due yet: SSC's corrigendum of 26 October 2026 moved Paper-I to 23 to 28 November 2026. The earlier schedule of 1 October 2026 had given 20 to 28 November 2026. Under the 2026 notice, city and time-table details go up about 10 days before the exam, and admission certificates 2-3 days before it.

How will the SSC CPO 2026 admit card be issued?

• Online only: admission certificates are uploaded on the Commission's website and are not sent by post for any stage. The CPO 2026 Notice asks candidates to watch both ssc.gov.in and the concerned SSC Regional Office websites.
• City and time table: these go up on the websites of the concerned Regional Office about 10 days before the exam. If your details are missing one week before, contact that Regional Office immediately with proof that you applied, or you lose any claim.
• Admission certificate: downloadable 2-3 days before the exam. Bring a printout to the exam hall.
• Writing to SSC: quote your Registration Number, Roll Number, registered Email-ID and Mobile Number, with your name, date of birth and the exam name.

For reference, here is how the 2025 cycle ran. Candidates picked a city and date through self-slot selection from 17.11.2025 to 21.11.2025 (11:00 PM). Those who missed it got a one-time chance through the feedback module till 11:00 AM of 04.12.2025. Anyone who skipped both was not scheduled and got no admit card, as SSC's notice of 28 November 2025 warned. City details went live from 29.11.2025, and Paper-I was held from 09.12.2025 to 12.12.2025.

PET/PST call letter: the second admit card

Paper-I qualifiers are called for the Physical Standard Test and Physical Endurance Test, conducted by the CAPFs. For the 2025 cycle, SSC Regional Offices issued the PET/PST call letters on their own websites (as in the Eastern and Karnataka Kerala regions), and they were not sent by post. SSC's Eastern Region notice of 8 July 2026 let candidates download them from www.sscer.org w.e.f. 11.07.2026. Women were tested on 21.07.2026 and men from 22.07.2026 to 25.07.2026, reporting at 6:00 AM at 59 Bn BSF, Krishnanagar. The Karnataka Kerala Region notice of 10 July 2026 asked candidates to bring the call letter with an original government or educational-institution photo ID to the BSF venue at Yelahanka, Bangalore.
