SSC MTS Exam Dates: The Full Yearly Cycle
Notification in early summer, exam in autumn, result early the next year. The typical sequence.

The Typical SSC MTS Cycle
Expected months from recent cycles. The notification on ssc.gov.in is the only binding source.
| Stage | Typical Months |
|---|---|
| Notification release | May-June |
| Application window | June-July |
| Exam (CBT) | September-November |
| Result | January-February (following year) |
Timing Your Preparation Against the Cycle
A September-November exam window with a May-June notification gives roughly three months from form to hall, which happens to match how long solid MTS preparation takes. Start when the notification drops and the calendar works; start when the admit card arrives and it does not.
Havaldar aspirants should also start physical preparation alongside the written work, since the PET/PST follows the result and rewards months of conditioning, not weeks.
Whatever the dates, the syllabus is waiting. Start free.
