Reason Why this SSC CGL 2026 Notice is fake

The biggest reason behind the suspicion is the file number mentioned in the viral screenshot.

Notification File Number
SSC Phase-XIV Official Notice
File No. HQ-RHQS015/1/2026/C-4
Viral SSC CGL 2026 Notice
F. No. HQ-RHQS015/1/2026-C-4

Both notices carry the same file number, which strongly suggests that the viral SSC CGL notice may have been edited from an already existing SSC Phase-XIV notice.

Many candidates and experts have observed that only the examination name, dates, and vacancy details appear to have been changed while the structure and formatting remain almost identical.

What Should Candidates Do?

Candidates are advised to avoid sharing unverified screenshots on social media and wait for the official SSC CGL 2026 notification PDF. The official notification is expected to be released on the SSC website.
Check updates only from the SSC website and follow trusted education portals for verified news. Fake notices and edited screenshots often create confusion among aspirants, especially during recruitment season.
