Chhattisgarh CGSSB jobs: 1,206 Assistant Grade-3 among 1,703 Group-2 vacancies

The Chhattisgarh Staff Selection Board (CGSSB) has opened online applications for 1,703 Group-2, Class III government posts in the state, including 1,206 Assistant Grade-3 posts and 279 Assistant Sub-Inspector posts. Applications opened on Thursday, 5 November 2026 and close at 5 pm on Friday, 27 November 2026. Candidates can correct their forms from 28 to 30 November, until 5 pm. The state government announced the recruitment on 6 November, ahead of Diwali. It will be the board's first written recruitment examination.

For young job-seekers in Chhattisgarh, this is a large single round of state government hiring, spread across several departments. Assistant Grade-3 is the entry-level clerical post in state departments and district offices, and it draws a very large number of applicants because it needs only higher secondary schooling or a degree plus computer skills. The Assistant Sub-Inspector posts open a route into the police for graduates.

The recruitment is also the first written exam to be run by the Chhattisgarh Staff Selection Board, the body that now handles these posts. Candidates who have prepared for earlier state exams should read the new notice carefully, since the format, syllabus and computer-skill tests may differ by post.

The application window is short: just over three weeks, and it overlaps with the Diwali holidays. Candidates who need a computer diploma certificate or a domicile or caste certificate should arrange these early, because forms submitted without the right documents can be rejected at the verification stage.

What to do next: check the post-wise eligibility in the official notice on the board's website, apply before 5 pm on 27 November, and use the correction window from 28 to 30 November only to fix errors. Ignore any website or agent that asks for money to guarantee a job; selection is only through the board's exam.

Peepals calculation: Assistant Grade-3 posts make up about 71% of the vacancies (1,206 / 1,703 ≈ 70.8%). Together with the 279 Assistant Sub-Inspector posts and 50 Registration Clerk posts, these three groups account for 1,535 posts, leaving 168 for stenographers, data entry operators and the other cadres (1,703 − 1,535 = 168). The application window is 23 days long, counting both 5 and 27 November. Our calculation from the reported figures.

Short-term: Graduates and higher-secondary pass-outs across Chhattisgarh's districts have a little over three weeks to apply, and those without a computer diploma certificate in hand may find the window tight.

Long-term: Filling these posts should ease staff shortages in state departments and district offices and add officers to the district police.

Who is affected: job-seekers with higher secondary or graduate qualifications in Chhattisgarh, state government departments, the district police, and coaching and computer-training institutes.

What to watch next: the last date to apply is 27 November 2026, the correction window runs from 28 to 30 November, and the board is expected to confirm the exam date and admit card schedule.
