The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially released the admit cards for the Junior Hindi Translator (JHT) Paper-I examination, also known as the Preliminary Screening Test (PST), scheduled for 2026. This is a crucial step for candidates aspiring to secure translation positions in various government departments and ministries across India.
Understanding the SSC JHT Examination
The Junior Hindi Translator examination is conducted by SSC to recruit qualified personnel for translation work between Hindi and English in government offices. The selection process typically consists of two papers: Paper-I (Preliminary Screening Test) is objective in nature, while Paper-II tests translation skills from Hindi to English and English to Hindi. Only candidates who qualify Paper-I are eligible to appear for Paper-II.
The JHT position is highly sought after due to its attractive pay scale, job security, and opportunities for career advancement within the government sector. Successful candidates are posted in various central government departments where bilingual communication is essential.
