SSC MTS 2026: The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has called off the Multi-Tasking (Non-Technical) Staff (MTS) and Havaldar Examination scheduled for Shift-I on February 11, 2026, at a limited number of examination centres across the country. The decision follows reports of technical and administrative disruptions that affected the smooth conduct of the test at specific venues.
According to an official notice issued by the Commission, the cancellation does not apply nationwide. Only candidates allotted to certain examination centres have been impacted. SSC has assured aspirants that the examination will be rescheduled and that updated admit cards will be issued ahead of the fresh test date.
Why SSC Cancelled the February 11 Shift-I Exam

Regions and Centres Affected
In the Karnataka–Kerala Region, the regional office confirmed that multiple designated centres encountered technical failures, making it impossible to conduct the examination as planned. Similarly, the Eastern Region issued an official update identifying the centres where the February 11 Shift-I examination was cancelled.
The Central Region (Prayagraj) also published a detailed list of examination centres under its jurisdiction that were impacted by the cancellation. Candidates are advised to carefully check regional SSC notifications to confirm whether their centre was among those affected.
Re-Exam Plan and Admit Card Update
SSC has clarified that candidates whose exams were cancelled will be given another opportunity to appear for the test. The Commission will announce the revised examination date shortly. Along with this, fresh admit cards carrying updated details such as the new exam date, shift timing, and examination centre will be made available.
