What’s Next

Q: How many vacancies does this recruitment cover?
A: 1,035, Specialist Officer (Scale I) posts.
Q: When is the Mains exam?
A: 1 November 2026, with a separate admit card released closer to that date.
Final Word
Since Prelims and Mains admit cards are released separately on different timelines, don’t assume your 29 August Prelims call letter also covers the November Mains stage — watch for a fresh admit card release ahead of the Mains exam.
