According to the briefing, an estimated 243,064 candidates will appear in the SSC First Annual Examination 2026, while 157,856 candidates are expected for the HSSC First Annual Examination.
Officials said additional steps are being taken to ensure transparent exams, including monitoring systems for practical labs and marking centres, pre-exam training for supervisory staff, a new online bill-receiving system for exam staff, and strict action against examiners if marking errors are proven.
