Eligibility for Hindi Translator Posts

For junior-level translation positions, candidates generally require a Master's degree with the prescribed Hindi-English subject or medium combination. The qualification may also require a recognized diploma or certificate course in translation between Hindi and English, or the prescribed period of translation experience. For senior translator positions, the required academic language qualification is accompanied by the applicable three-year translation experience condition where experience is used under the recruitment rules.

The normal age limit is 18 to 30 years as on 1 August 2026. Candidates born between 2 August 1996 and 1 August 2008 meet the stated general age range, subject to the detailed eligibility provisions. Relaxation in the upper age limit is available to eligible reserved and other categories according to applicable government rules.

SSC CHT 2026 Paper-I Pattern

Paper-I is an objective Computer Based Examination carrying 200 marks. It contains 100 questions from General Hindi and 100 questions from General English, making 200 questions in total. The normal examination duration is two hours. A negative marking of 0.25 marks is applicable for every incorrect response. The paper evaluates candidates' understanding of language, vocabulary, grammar, usage, phrases, idioms, comprehension and effective expression at the prescribed level.

Paper-II and Selection

Paper-II is descriptive and carries 200 marks. It tests translation ability in both language directions, including Hindi to English and English to Hindi, along with essay writing in Hindi and English. Candidates who qualify and are shortlisted through the prescribed examination process proceed to the subsequent stages required for selection. Final appointment remains subject to applicable merit, vacancy, document verification and eligibility conditions.

How to Check SSC Exam City and Admit Card

Candidates should use the official examination portal and sign in with the credentials required by the Commission. After login, they should locate the Combined Hindi Translators Examination 2026 section and check the examination city information. The city information helps candidates plan travel, but it should not be treated as the complete admit card. Candidates must download the admit card when it becomes available and carefully verify the examination date, reporting time, venue address, roll number and other instructions.

Important Instructions for Candidates

Applicants should carry the required admit card and valid identification documents to the examination centre. They should carefully read all instructions printed on the admission certificate and follow the reporting requirements. Candidates are advised to reach the venue sufficiently early because entry procedures may take time. It is also important to verify personal details on the admit card as soon as it is downloaded and contact the concerned examination authority if any material discrepancy is found.

Because Paper-I is scheduled for 8 September 2026, candidates should use the remaining preparation period for focused revision of Hindi and English grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, idioms and language usage. Practice with timed objective questions can help improve accuracy while reducing the impact of the 0.25-mark penalty for incorrect answers. Candidates should also keep their original qualification and identity documents ready for later stages of the recruitment process.
