Rules

Appearing in any one paper of the Preliminary Examination counts as an attempt.
The fact of appearance counts even if the candidature is later cancelled.
Attempts are also limited by Rule 12 of the Civil Services Examination Rules 2026 (age limits).
SSC CGL 2026 and CHSL 2026 set no limit on attempts; only the age limit applies.
