SSB Constable Tradesman Admit Card 2026: Download Link, Exam Date & Steps

Good news for candidates awaiting their call letter — the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) is set to release admit cards for the Constable (Tradesman) recruitment drive, conducted under Advt. No. 524/RC/SSB/Combined Advt./CTs/2025. This recruitment covers 827 vacancies across trades including Driver, Veterinary, Gardener, Water Carrier, Cobbler, Tailor, Washerman, Barber, Waiter, Carpenter, and Nursing Orderly.

Quick Recap of the Recruitment Timeline Applications opened on 21 March 2026, with the window (after an extension) closing on 4 May 2026. Candidates who successfully submitted their forms are now awaiting the next major update — their admit cards for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST), tentatively scheduled for August 2026.

What the PET/PST Involves

• Male candidates: 4.8 km race to be completed in 24 minutes
• Female candidates: 2.4 km race to be completed in 18 minutes
• PST includes measurement of height, chest (male candidates), and weight as per category and region-wise standards

Ex-servicemen are exempt from the PET but must still appear for the remaining stages.

How to Download the Admit Card (Once Released)

1. Visit the official SSB recruitment portal at recruitment.ssb.gov.in or ssb.gov.in
2. Locate the "Constable Tradesman Admit Card 2026" link on the homepage or notifications section
3. Log in using your registration number/roll number and password
4. Your admit card will appear on screen — verify all details (name, photograph, exam center, date, and time)
5. Download and take a clear printout for the exam day

Documents to Carry on Exam Day

• Printed copy of the admit card
• A valid original photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, etc.)
• Passport-size photographs, if specified in the official notice

Important Note Since the final decision on admit card release dates rests with the SSB Recruitment Board, candidates should regularly check the official websites rather than relying solely on third-party portals. Carrying incomplete documents or arriving without a printed admit card can lead to denial of entry at the exam venue.

Candidates are advised to keep their registration details handy and check the official site frequently as the exam date approaches, since SSB typically uploads call letters just 1–2 weeks before the scheduled test.
