SSC MTS Havaldar PET PST 2026 will be conducted from 24 to 31 August 2026 at CBIC centres across the country, and the admission certificate for it comes from your own SSC Regional Office rather than from the main website. The Commission confirmed the schedule in a notice dated 20 August 2026, four days before the first test date.

SSC MTS Havaldar PET PST exam date and who conducts it
Two organisations are involved at this stage and confusing them costs candidates time. SSC shortlists, but CBIC runs the physical test.
| PET PST question | What the 20 August notice states |
|---|---|
| When is the PET PST exam date | From 24.08.2026 to 31.08.2026. |
| Who conducts the PET PST | CBIC, at various CBIC centres across the country. SSC is not conducting the test itself. |
| Which post is this stage for | Havaldar only, under the MTS (NT) and Havaldar Examination 2025. |
| Who is called for PET PST | Candidates shortlisted in the result the Commission published on 03.08.2026. |
| Notice number carrying this schedule | F.No. E/15/2025-C-2 SECTION, dated 20.08.2026. |
Where the SSC MTS Havaldar admission certificate comes from
This is the part most candidates get wrong. There is no single national download link for this stage, and waiting for one on the main SSC page will cost you the test.
| Admission certificate question | Official position |
|---|---|
| Who issues the admission certificate | The respective Regional Office of the Commission. It is not released on the head office website at all, so there is no national download link for this stage. |
| When is it issued | Before the PET/PST schedule, meaning before 24.08.2026. |
| Which regional office applies to you | The SSC region under which you applied and appeared for the MTS 2025 examination. |
| What if you cannot find your hall ticket | Check the regional office website for your region first, since the head office notice board carries the schedule but not the certificate. |
| Is a hardcopy sent by post | The notice provides for issue by the Regional Office and does not promise any postal despatch. |
How to download your SSC MTS Havaldar admission certificate
Work through this today rather than on the morning of your test, because a regional office query takes time to resolve.
- Confirm your name appears in the 03.08.2026 result shortlisting candidates for Havaldar PET/PST.
- Identify the SSC Regional Office under which you submitted your MTS 2025 application.
- Open that regional office website from the Commission’s official site linked at the end of this page.
- Log in with the credentials you used for the MTS 2025 examination and open the admission certificate for PET/PST.
- Print the certificate and carry it with the photo identity document specified on it.
What the PET PST stage decides for Havaldar candidates
The physical stage is qualifying in nature and sits between the written result and the final selection, so the practical consequences are worth understanding.
| Selection stage question | Position for MTS 2025 Havaldar |
|---|---|
| What follows the written result | PET/PST for the Havaldar post, conducted by CBIC from 24 to 31 August 2026. |
| Does MTS (NT) have a PET PST | No. The physical test applies to the Havaldar post, and the notice is specific about that. |
| What are the physical standards | The measurements applicable to your category are printed on the admission certificate issued by your Regional Office, which is the document CBIC will test you against. |
| Where exactly will it be held | At various CBIC centres across the country, with your centre named on your admission certificate. |
| Can you request a change of date | The notice sets a fixed window from 24.08.2026 to 31.08.2026 and provides no rescheduling route. |
What to do if your admission certificate is not available
With the first test date on 24 August, a missing certificate needs action the same day you notice it.
| Problem you are facing | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Certificate not available on the regional site | Certificates are released before the schedule but not always on the same day for every region. Keep checking your own region rather than another one. |
| Your name is not found in the shortlist | Only candidates in the 03.08.2026 result are called. If your roll number is absent from it, no PET/PST certificate will be generated for you. |
| You applied for MTS (NT) and not Havaldar | This stage does not apply to you. The notice restricts PET/PST to the Havaldar post. |
| You have moved city since applying | Your centre follows the region you applied under, and the notice offers no route to change the centre or date. |
| The login rejects your MTS credentials | Use the same registration details as the MTS 2025 examination, and raise a query with your Regional Office rather than the head office. |
