Why Does a 2027 Batch Have a 2026 Exam Date?

The numbers 01/2027 and 02/2027 identify the batches. They are not the calendar year in which every recruitment stage must take place. The official schedule specifically places this CBE on 17 and 18 November 2026. Match both the batch and the examination stage when checking a notice.

What the Notice Confirms—and What to Check Separately

  • The notice confirms the CBE mode and the two-day examination schedule.
  • It does not give an individual candidate’s shift, reporting time or examination centre.
  • The schedule PDF does not announce an admit-card release date. Do not treat the schedule announcement as proof that an admit card is already available.
  • Eligibility, documents and other recruitment conditions should be checked in the official advertisement and subsequent candidate instructions.

How to Check Your Candidate Updates

  1. Open the official CGEPT portal from the links immediately below the introduction.
  2. Check that the displayed recruitment is for 01/2027 and 02/2027.
  3. Use your own candidate login when the required update or document becomes available.
  4. Read the allotted examination date, shift, reporting time and venue exactly as shown in your candidate document.
  5. Save any issued admit card or instructions and follow the required identity-document directions.

Preparation Before the Examination

Keep the application details and registered contact information accessible. Review the syllabus and examination instructions in the official recruitment documents. Plan travel only after checking your allotted venue and timing, and recheck the portal before leaving for the centre.

A common preparation checklist is to practise within a time limit, review mistakes and keep required documents ready. These are study suggestions; they do not replace the official rules for the examination. Follow any subsequent official change to the schedule.

Do Not Confuse Other Exams in the Same PDF

The schedule also lists a departmental skill test and SSC CPO Paper-II. Their dates belong to different examinations. For CGEPT, use only the row naming Coast Guard Enrolled Persons Test, batches 01/2027 and 02/2027.
