SSC (Staff Selection Commission) conducts recruitment for Multi-Tasking (Non-Technical) Staff (MTS) across various central government offices and departments. They also recruit Havaldar posts under agencies like CBIC (Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs) and CBN (Central Bureau of Narcotics). These roles are usually Group C, non-ministerial, non-gazetted roles, suitable for 10th pass candidates.
The roles include tasks like peon, chowkidar, data entry, mail porter, and other clerical / lower support roles in central offices.
Why Admit Cards Matter
Your admit card (hall ticket) is your entry pass into the exam hall. Without it, even if you’re eligible, you won’t be allowed to sit for Paper 1. Beyond that, it contains vital details: exam date, shift, reporting time, exam centre address, your roll number, signature, photograph, and instructions. Always double-check all those details. If something is off, you must act quickly to get it corrected.
Key Updates as of 2025
Current Status of Admit Card Release
As of now, the SSC has not officially released the admit card for SSC MTS / Havaldar 2025. to multiple sources, the exam was supposed to occur between September 20 and October 24, 2025, but there is still no hall ticket live on the SSC portal. Hindustan Times confirms that there is no update yet from SSC for the hall ticket.
Postponements & Rumors
Because of overlapping exam schedules (notably with SSC CGL), speculations are rife that SSC MTS / Havaldar dates may be shifted. Even Testbook (an exam prep platform) mentions the possibility of postponement.
Candidates must remain cautious about online rumors — always rely on SSC’s official channels for confirmation.
Vacancy Changes & Their Impact
Earlier reports suggested 5,464 total vacancies (4,375 MTS + 1,089 Havaldar). However, newer sources (e.g. NDTV) indicate 8,021 total vacancies (6,810 for MTS, 1,211 for Havaldar) as per latest updates.
An increase in vacancies often means more competition but also more seats to fight for, and possibly more flexibility in cutoff marks.
Expected Admit Card Release Schedule
How Many Days Before Exam?
Usually, SSC releases admit cards 3–4 days before the commencement of the exam. Economic Times also notes a 3–5 day window prior to the exam date for hall ticket issuance.
So, if your exam is in early October, expect your hall ticket around the last week of September (or early October).
Region-wise vs Central Release
SSC often releases admit cards regionally (i.e. through each SSC regional site) rather than one single national link. This means your region’s SSC portal (North, South, East, West, etc.) might get the link earlier or separately. Always check your regional portal too.
