Quick Summary
SSC has released a short addendum (F. No. HQ-C11017/2/2025-C-1, dated 27 July 2026) to the Combined Hindi Translators Examination, 2025, clarifying Para 7.2 of the original Notice (05.06.2025) and Corrigendum (18.07.2025). For the post of Sub-Inspector (Hindi Translator), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) -- not SSC directly -- will conduct the Physical Standard Test (PST) of shortlisted candidates. Candidates who qualify PST will then go through Document Verification (DV), Detailed Medical Examination (DME), and Review Medical Examination (RME) with CRPF "on consequential days" -- meaning on the days immediately following PST, as part of the same process window. No specific dates or venues are given yet.

Understanding PST, DV, DME & RME
These abbreviations aren't expanded in the addendum itself, so here's what each stage actually involves for Sub-Inspector (Hindi Translator) candidates:
- PST (Physical Standard Test): Measurement of physical standards such as height, chest, and other criteria prescribed for the post -- a pass/fail check against minimum standards, not a fitness or endurance run.
- DV (Document Verification): Verification of original certificates and documents supporting the claims made in the candidate's application -- educational qualification, age, category, etc.
- DME (Detailed Medical Examination): A full medical examination to assess whether the candidate meets the medical standards required for a CRPF post.
- RME (Review Medical Examination): A second-opinion medical review, typically available to candidates who wish to contest a DME finding, conducted by a different or senior medical authority.
Per the addendum, PST comes first; only candidates who qualify PST proceed to DV/DME, with RME as the follow-up review stage for those who need it -- all conducted by CRPF, not SSC.
Background: CHT 2025 So Far
The following is independently sourced context on the wider Combined Hindi Translators Examination 2025, not part of this specific addendum, included to help you place this update in context.
SSC's Combined Hindi Translators Examination 2025 notification covered approximately 437 vacancies across six post types: Junior Hindi Translator (JHT), Junior Translation Officer (JTO), Junior Translator (JT), Senior Hindi Translator (SHT), Senior Translator (ST), and Sub-Inspector (Hindi Translator) in CRPF. Online applications ran from 5 June 2025 to 26 June 2025. Paper-I (Computer Based Test) results were declared on 4 November 2025, shortlisting 3,642 candidates for Paper-II. Paper-II, a descriptive translation and essay paper, was conducted on 14 December 2025, with minimum qualifying marks set at 30% for UR, 25% for OBC/EWS, and 20% for other categories. Paper-II results were declared on 4 June 2026, and of those results, 1,722 candidates who had opted for the CRPF Sub-Inspector post qualified for the PET/PST stage -- the stage this addendum now confirms will be conducted by CRPF itself.

FAQs
Q1: What does SSC's 27 July 2026 addendum say?
It confirms that for the post of Sub-Inspector (Hindi Translator), the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will conduct the Physical Standard Test (PST) for shortlisted candidates, followed by Document Verification (DV), Detailed Medical Examination (DME), and Review Medical Examination (RME) for those who qualify PST.
Q2: Does SSC conduct the PST and medical stages itself?
No. Per this addendum, CRPF conducts all of these stages -- PST, DV/DME, and RME -- for the Sub-Inspector (Hindi Translator) post, not SSC directly.
Q3: What is PST in this context?
Physical Standard Test -- a check of physical measurements such as height and chest against the minimum standards prescribed for the post.
Q4: What's the difference between DME and RME?
DME (Detailed Medical Examination) is the primary medical check. RME (Review Medical Examination) is a follow-up review, generally for candidates who want to contest a DME finding, conducted by a different or senior medical authority.
Q5: When will PST and the medical stages be held?
No dates are given in this addendum. It only confirms the conducting authority (CRPF) and the sequence (PST first, then DV/DME/RME on consequential days for those who qualify).
Q6: How many candidates qualified for this stage?
Per independent recruitment coverage of the wider Combined Hindi Translators Examination 2025 (not from this addendum), 1,722 candidates who opted for the CRPF Sub-Inspector post qualified for the PET/PST stage after the Paper-II result was declared on 4 June 2026.

With 1,722 candidates already through to this stage as of the Paper-II result, dates are the next thing to watch for; keep checking SSC's and CRPF's official channels since none are announced yet.
