SSC JHT re-exam 2026: The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) will conduct the Junior Hindi Translator (JHT) Examination 2026 on September 13 for candidates at Noida’s ‘Adarsh Pariksha Kendra’ in Sector 155, following the cancellation of the original September 8 exam due to technical glitches.
Why the Original Exam Was Cancelled?
The SSC JHT Examination 2026 was originally scheduled to be held from 12 noon to 2 pm on September 8. However, the exam had to be cancelled due to technical issues at the centre, leaving affected candidates frustrated and prompting them to seek an official response and clarity from the Commission.
Fresh Admit Cards for Affected Candidates
The SSC will issue fresh admit cards specifically to the candidates who had appeared — or attempted to appear — for the SSC JHT exam at the Noida centre on September 8. These hall tickets will be made available for download on the Commission’s official website, ssc.gov.in.
The revised admit card will contain updated details, including the revised examination centre and timing for the re-examination scheduled on September 13. Affected candidates are advised to keep checking the official website and download their fresh admit card as soon as it becomes available, to avoid any last-minute confusion regarding reporting details.
SSC Also Reschedules Stenographer Exam
In a related development this week, the SSC also rescheduled the Stenographer Grade ‘C’ and ‘D’ Examination 2026 (Tier-I), which was originally scheduled to be held on September 10 and 11 in Sikar, Rajasthan. The exam had to be postponed due to municipal polls in the region.
The rescheduled Stenographer exam for the affected candidates will now be conducted on September 15.
Deadline for CHT Paper-II Candidates
In a separate notice, the Commission has informed candidates who appeared for Paper-II of the Combined Hindi Translators Examination (CHT) that they are required to submit their preferred posts and departments online through the candidate login portal by September 11.
The SSC has also issued a clear warning: candidates who fail to submit their preferences within this deadline may be excluded from the final selection process. This makes it critical for CHT Paper-II candidates to complete this step promptly rather than risk missing out on selection due to a procedural lapse.
What Affected Candidates Should Do Now?
Given the overlapping set of exam-related updates from SSC this week, candidates should pay close attention to which category applies to them:
- JHT exam candidates (Noida, Sept 8): Watch for the fresh admit card on ssc.gov.in ahead of the September 13 re-exam
- Stenographer Tier-I candidates (Sikar): Note the revised date of September 15
- CHT Paper-II candidates: Submit post and department preferences online by September 11 without fail
Why This Matters?
Technical disruptions and scheduling conflicts affecting government recruitment exams can create significant uncertainty for candidates, many of whom prepare extensively for a single exam date. SSC’s move to promptly reschedule the JHT exam and issue fresh admit cards, along with rescheduling the Stenographer exam due to external factors like municipal polls, reflects the Commission’s effort to accommodate affected candidates rather than penalise them for circumstances beyond their control.
