About SSC Exams

The Staff Selection Commission recruits for Group B (non-gazetted) and Group C posts in the ministries and departments of the Government of India, and in their subordinate and attached offices. It is the single largest recruiter of graduates and Class 12 pass candidates into central government service.

SSC examinations are computer-based and run in tiers. Tier 1 is objective and usually screening in nature; later tiers decide the merit and, for some posts, add a typing or skill test, a physical test, or a document verification round. Most papers carry negative marking, so accuracy matters as much as speed.

Qualifications range from Class 10 for Multi Tasking Staff up to a graduate degree for Combined Graduate Level. The Commission publishes an Annual Calendar listing every planned notification and examination date, and all applications are made through a single registration on the Commission’s own portal.

SSC Exams — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SSC CGL and SSC CHSL?
CGL requires a graduate degree and recruits Group B and C posts such as Inspector, Assistant Section Officer and Auditor. CHSL needs only Class 12 and recruits clerical grade posts such as Lower Division Clerk, Junior Secretariat Assistant and Data Entry Operator. CGL carries a higher pay level and a longer promotion ladder.
Does SSC have an interview round?
No. Interviews were removed from all Group B non-gazetted and Group C recruitment from 1 January 2016. Selection now rests entirely on written tiers plus any applicable skill, typing or physical test.
Why are SSC scores normalised?
Because examinations are held across multiple days and shifts with different question papers. Normalisation adjusts for differences in difficulty between shifts so that no candidate gains or loses purely because of which slot they were allotted.
