SSC GD Selection Process

SSC GD selection runs through the stages below, each of which must be cleared in sequence.

1. Computer Based Examination (CBE)
2. Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST)
3. Detailed Medical Examination (DME)
4. Document Verification

Available in 15 languages

The CBE is conducted in English, Hindi and 13 regional languages — Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. This is unusual among national recruitment exams and materially widens access.

Force preference cannot be changed

Allocation to forces is by merit-cum-preference as entered in the online application. SSC states plainly that no request to change preference will be entertained after the application process completes, so the order you enter is final.

Document Verification

Original certificates are checked against everything declared in the application — qualification, category, age and any relaxation claimed. Certificates must be in the prescribed formats and dated on or before the cut-off date in the notice.

Final merit

Merit is prepared from the marks that count for this examination, and candidates are allotted posts by merit-cum-preference against the reported vacancies.
