2. Application Status Vs. Admit
Card: What is the Difference?
Many candidates confuse these two
important updates from SSC. Here is exactly how they differ:
- Application Status / City
Intimation:
Released roughly 10–15 days before the exam. This document only tells you
your exam city, date, and shift timing so you can plan your travel. It is
NOT a ticket to enter the exam hall.
- Admit Card (e-Call Letter): Released exactly 4 days before
your specific exam date (Expected around April 3, 2026). This contains the
exact name and address of your exam center. This is the mandatory document
you must print and carry.

My
Personal Warning for Exam Day (Must Read!)
Before we get into the syllabus
and dates, I want to share something crucial. Recently, when I went to write my
own SSC MTS exam, I faced a severe issue where the center staff incorrectly
marked my attendance as "absent," and I had to immediately report the
issue to the SSC regional office.
My strict advice to you: When you go for your JE
Paper-II exam, please double-check your biometric attendance on the computer
screen before leaving the exam hall. Make absolutely sure the invigilator has
successfully submitted your attendance. Do not take this lightly.
