SSC GD 2026 PET/PST Shortlist: What Shortlisted Candidates Should Do

SSC GD 2026 PET/PST shortlist: the next steps

SSC published a notice on 12 October 2026 about shortlisting candidates for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST) for the Constable (GD) in CAPFs and SSF, and Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles Examination 2026. In plain language, this notice identifies candidates who are being called to the next physical stage. It does not by itself mean final selection or appointment.

What are PET and PST?

PET is a physical efficiency test. PST is a physical standards test. The requirements can depend on the official rules and candidate category. Do not train from a social-media graphic or assume every candidate has identical standards. Read the current official notice and any later instructions for your own examination.

Check the shortlist safely

Visit SSC's official website and open the GD 2026 notice dated 12 October. Use the official result or notice link and check your roll number or other identifier exactly as the document explains. Also read the notice around the list: it may explain the stage, conditions and where later information will appear.

SSC posted a further update on 23 October 2026 about the status of categories of shortlisted candidates. That is a reminder to check for newer official notices too. If you see your name or number in a list, verify that the notice applies to the correct examination and stage.

Make a practical plan

Save the official shortlist and the 23 October update, if they apply to you.
Check SSC for the PET/PST schedule, location, admission instructions and required documents.
Follow only the physical standards and rules in the official notice. Ask SSC through its published contact route if your personal details look wrong.
Keep checking for changes, and do not book travel from an unverified forwarded message.

Shortlisting is one step in a longer selection process. Candidates should wait for the next official communication and complete the listed requirements. A third-party article cannot confirm an individual candidate's eligibility or final outcome.

Beware of fake calls and payment requests

Do not pay anyone who promises to add a roll number to a list, change a result or guarantee selection. Do not hand over account passwords or one-time codes. For a real update, begin at SSC's official website and follow links from the notice board.

Key point

The October notices concern the GD 2026 physical-test shortlist and a later category-status update. Check both official notices, confirm they match your examination, and wait for SSC's next instructions. This explainer is general guidance, not an individual result check.
