Why Was the Skill Test Rescheduled?
Technical glitches in Shift-II on 10 April 2026 — SSC cancels and re-conducts for fairness
The SSC CHSL Tier 2 Skill Test/Typing Test for Shift-II on 10 April 2026 encountered significant technical glitches at examination centres, disrupting the testing process for a number of candidates. The Staff Selection Commission, committed to ensuring a fair and equal opportunity for all aspirants, took the decision to cancel the affected Shift-II session and reschedule it as a fresh re-examination.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Original Exam Date | 10 April 2026 |
| What happened on 10 April | Shift-II of the Skill Test/Typing Test was affected by technical glitches at exam centres — exam could not be conducted properly |
| SSC Decision | Cancelled Shift-II of the Skill Test on 10 April 2026 — decided to re-conduct it on a fresh date |
| Re-Exam Date | 22 April 2026 |
| Who must reappear | Only candidates who appeared in Shift-II of the Skill Test on 10 April 2026 |
| Shift-I candidates | Shift-I was conducted normally — these candidates do NOT need to reappear on 22 April |
| Exempted candidates | Candidates who were already exempted from the Skill Test on 10 April continue to remain exempt on 22 April — no change in exemption status |
| New Admit Card | Mandatory — released 17 April 2026 at ssc.gov.in. Old admit card (for 10 April) is INVALID. |
| Exam Pattern | Unchanged — same Skill Test/Typing Test format as originally scheduled |
🚫 Critical Warning — Check Your Eligibility
- Only Shift-II candidates from 10 April 2026 are eligible for re-examination on 22 April. Your new admit card will confirm your eligibility.

💻 Skill Test Rules — Key Points Candidates Must Know
- Language is fixed: The typing language (Hindi or English) chosen at the time of filling the online application form is FINAL. No change request is entertained afterwards.
- Hindi font options: Candidates opting for Hindi typing can use either Mangal (Inscript layout) or Kruti Dev — choose what you practised with.
- Backspace is allowed: You can correct mistakes using the backspace key. However, excessive backspacing slows your overall typing speed — prioritise accuracy from the start.
- Errors calculated to 2 decimal places: Full mistakes (omission, wrong word, addition) and half mistakes (spacing errors, incorrect capitalisation) are calculated precisely up to two decimal places.
- Qualifying failure = disqualification: If you fail to achieve the minimum required speed/accuracy, you are removed from the final selection process — even with excellent written exam scores.
- VH candidates: Passage dictators are provided for Visually Handicapped candidates who opted for scribe in the Typing Test. Additional compensatory time is granted.
- DEO DEST: Skill Test for DEO posts is conducted only in English and no exemptions apply even for PwD candidates (though PwD get extra time).

Download using your Registration Number and Password. This is a new admit card for the re-examination scheduled on 22 April 2026 — it replaces the old hall ticket issued for 10 April 2026, which is now invalid.
Why was SSC CHSL Skill Test Shift-II cancelled on 10 April 2026?+
The SSC CHSL Tier 2 Skill Test / Typing Test Shift-II on 10 April 2026 was cancelled because candidates reported technical glitches at examination centres during that session. To ensure that all affected candidates get a fair and equal opportunity, the Staff Selection Commission decided to cancel Shift-II and reschedule the test as a fresh re-examination on 22 April 2026.
I appeared in Shift-I on 10 April 2026 — do I need to reappear on 22 April?+
No. Only candidates who appeared in Shift-II on 10 April 2026 (whose exam was disrupted by technical glitches) need to reappear on 22 April 2026. Candidates who appeared in Shift-I on 10 April and whose exam was conducted normally do NOT need to appear again. Check your new admit card — it will only be generated for you if you are required to reappear.
Can I use my old admit card (10 April 2026) to enter the exam on 22 April?+
No, absolutely not. The admit card issued for 10 April 2026 is completely invalid for the rescheduled exam on 22 April 2026. You must download and print the new admit card released on 17 April 2026 from ssc.gov.in. Without the new hall ticket, you will not be permitted to enter the examination hall on 22 April 2026.

For LDC/JSA/PA/SA posts: Typing Test in English at 35 WPM (10,500 KDPH) or Hindi at 30 WPM (9,000 KDPH), 10 minutes duration (15 minutes for PwD with scribe).

Can I change my typing test language (Hindi/English) now before the re-exam?+

I was exempt from the Skill Test on 10 April — am I still exempt on 22 April?+
Yes. Candidates who were previously exempted from the Skill Test/Typing Test on 10 April 2026 continue to remain exempt for the rescheduled date of 22 April 2026.

Arrive at least 30–60 minutes before the reporting time on the admit card.
Will the Skill Test result affect SSC CHSL final selection?+
The Skill Test/Typing Test is qualifying in nature — marks scored in the typing test are NOT added to the final merit list. However, qualifying the Skill Test is mandatory for LDC/JSA/PA/SA/DEO candidates. If you fail to achieve the required typing speed and accuracy, you are disqualified from the entire selection process regardless of how high your written exam scores are. The final merit and selection are based on Tier 1 and Tier 2 written scores only — among those who qualify the Skill Test.
