What ‘tentative’ means, and state-wise numbers

At the bottom of the list SSC states that final vacancies may vary from the tentative vacancies. So the numbers you see today can go up or down later; do not treat them as fixed.

SSC also states that state-wise or zone-wise vacancies are not collected by SSC. You will therefore not find a separate figure for any state or zone in this list. For that, the list asks candidates to contact the user departments.

How to read the PDF and find your post

1. Open ssc.gov.in and download ‘Tentative Vacancy of Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2026 as on 24.09.2026’ from the notice board.
2. Find your post in the table and note the category-wise columns (UR, SC, ST, OBC, EWS).
3. Check the PwBD and ex-servicemen columns if they apply to you.
4. Check the ‘suitable for colour blind’ column if it affects you.
5. Remember that all numbers are tentative.
