The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), operating under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, has released an official advertisement for filling 50 vacancies of Constable General Duty (CT GD) through remusteration in the year 2026. This is an internal departmental recruitment drive exclusively open to serving male and female Combatised Constables (Tradesmen) and Constable Orderlies already working within SSB. This SSB CT GD Remusteration 2026 recruitment gives eligible SSB personnel a structured pathway to transition into the General Duty cadre, bringing career advancement and better service prospects. Eligible trades include Tailor, Cobbler, Cook, Barber, Washerman, Safaiwala, Gardener, Water Carrier, Waiter, Helper, and Orderlies. The total vacancy count stands at 50 posts distributed across three categories — SC (8), ST (4), and Unreserved/UR (38). These figures are subject to revision, and the Director General, SSB reserves the right to modify, cancel, or postpone the process without prior notice. To be considered eligible, an applicant must have completed a minimum of three years of regular service in SSB as of 1st January 2026. The candidate must hold at least a Matriculation (Class 10th) certificate or an equivalent qualification from a recognized board. Additionally, they must be in SHAPE-I medical category and must have maintained a clean service record for the past three years, with APAR (Annual Performance Appraisal Report) gradings for 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25 not falling below the "Good" benchmark (a score of 4 or above). The upper age limit for General and OBC category candidates is 35 years as of 1st January 2026. SC and ST candidates are eligible for a relaxation of 5 years, making their effective upper limit 40 years. The recruitment process consists of four key stages. First, candidates undergo a Physical Standard Test (PST) where height and chest measurements are recorded and compared against category-specific benchmarks. Candidates from northeastern states like Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Sikkim, and Tripura fall under relaxed height standards. Following PST, qualified candidates appear for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), which involves a 5 km race (within 24 minutes) for male candidates and a 1.6 km race (within 8 minutes 30 seconds) for female candidates. Both PST and PET are qualifying in nature and carry no marks. Candidates who clear the physical stages then sit for a Written Examination of 2 hours consisting of 100 multiple-choice questions covering General Awareness, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics, Analytical Aptitude, and English/Hindi language skills. The minimum qualifying score is 35% for General category and 33% for SC/ST/OBC candidates. Following the written test, shortlisted candidates undergo Documentation and Detailed Medical Examination (DME). Final selection is based purely on marks obtained in the written test. In case of a tie, the older candidate is ranked higher, and if the tie still persists, the candidate with longer service in SSB is given preference. Applications must be submitted offline through prescribed proformas to respective unit heads. The unit then forwards eligible applications through the Frontier Headquarters to the Application Receiving Centre (ARC) at SHQ, SSB, Lakhimpur Kheri, and finally to Force Headquarters (FHQ) Recruitment Branch for roll number allotment. This SSB Constable GD Recruitment 2026 is a valuable government job opportunity for eligible SSB Tradesmen and Orderlies looking to grow within the force. Interested candidates are advised to verify their eligibility carefully and submit their applications well before the deadline of 20th June 2026.
