If you are considering applying for the SSC GD Constable Recruitment 2026, this is not the time to delay your application for any reason whatsoever. The SSC has published an announcement asking candidates to submit their applications no later than December 31, 2025.

If you wait until the day of the submission deadline, you might not be able to complete your application before the deadline has passed. A large number of applicants will be attempting to submit their applications at or near the same time as you. Because of this, the commission expects that there will be many technical difficulties, slow internet connections, and missed deadlines due to incomplete or incorrectly submitted applications.

The SSC has specifically stated that there will be no extension of the deadline.

Why SSC Is Urging Early Applications

Particularly on the last day, SSC tests attract many candidates every year. The commission claims that candidates who hold off till the very end often experience issues with login issues, high traffic causing website traffic, delayed OTPs, payment errors, or unfinished submissions.

Moreover, they might find difficulty in correctly submitting papers. To prevent last-minute problems, SSC urges applicants to send their forms as early as they can.
