SSC MTS Vacancy 2026 Overview

SSC MTS Vacancy 2026 Notification PDF

SSC usually publishes the Havaldar vacancy with the notification and adds the MTS vacancy later as a separate "tentative vacancy" PDF, which may be revised more than once. In 2025, the first full tentative list (8,021 posts) came out on 9 September 2025 and was revised to 7,948 posts on 27 November 2025.

SSC MTS Total Vacancy 2026

The total SSC MTS vacancy 2026 will be known only after SSC publishes the tentative vacancy list. Based on the last five years, the total has ranged from 1,773 to 11,788 posts, so it can change a lot from one year to the next. The 2025 total is shown below.

SSC MTS Post-Wise Vacancy 2026

The post-wise SSC MTS vacancy is split between MTS posts, which are filled through two age groups, and Havaldar posts, which also need a physical test.

SSC MTS Age Group-Wise Vacancy 2026

SSC releases separate vacancies and separate cut-offs for the two age groups, because the upper age limit differs by post. Candidates aged 25 or below can be considered for both groups, while candidates between 25 and 27 can be considered only for the 18 to 27 group.

Vacancy for 18–25 Years

The 18 to 25 group had 6,078 MTS posts in 2025, divided by category as shown below.

Vacancy for 18–27 Years

The 18 to 27 group covers 732 MTS posts and the 1,138 Havaldar posts, a total of 1,870 posts in 2025. The category split below is worked out from the 2025 totals minus the 18 to 25 group.

SSC MTS State-Wise Vacancy 2026

SSC publishes the MTS vacancy state-wise and UT-wise, since MTS candidates are selected for offices in the state they choose. In 2025, Delhi had by far the most posts because many central ministries are based there.

The full state-wise list for all States and UTs is in the official tentative vacancy PDF. The 2026 state-wise vacancy will be added here once it is released.

SSC MTS Department-Wise Vacancy 2026

MTS posts are spread across many central government ministries, departments and offices, and SSC does not publish a single department-wise total for MTS. Havaldar posts are only in two organisations under the Department of Revenue.
