The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has reopened the option for candidates to choose their exam city and date for the SSC Central Police Organization (CPO) 2025 exam. This is a final chance for those who could not book their slots by the earlier deadline of November 21, 2025.
Candidates can now select their preferred exam city through a special 'feedback module' on the official SSC website, **ssc.gov.in**. The last date to complete this SSC CPO slot booking is **December 4, 2025, by 11 AM**. It is very important for eligible candidates to use this chance quickly.
The Staff Selection Commission is a major government body in India. It conducts exams to recruit staff for various government ministries and departments. The SSC CPO exam is held to select Sub-Inspectors for Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), such as the Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
This year, the SSC CPO recruitment aims to fill a total of **5,308 posts**. Candidates who clear this exam get a chance to serve in these important police and security forces.
The option to choose an exam city and date is called 'slot booking'. It allows candidates to pick a convenient location for their computer-based test (CBT). For those who missed the first window, the SSC has stated that exam city allotment will be done on a 'best effort basis'. This means candidates might not get their first choice of city if seats are already full.
Why is Slot Booking Important?
The Commission has made it clear that candidates who fail to use this one-time chance will **not be allowed to appear** for the SSC CPO 2025 computer-based test. No admit card, which is a mandatory entry pass, will be issued to such candidates. This means they will lose their opportunity to take the exam for the 5,308 Sub-Inspector vacancies.
Candidates who completed their SSC CPO slot booking earlier have already received their city information slips. These slips tell them which city their exam will be held in. The main SSC CPO exam (Paper 1) is scheduled to be held from **December 9 to December 12, 2025**.

This extended slot booking period is a critical window for many candidates. Missing this final opportunity means not being able to sit for the exam.
