SSC JHT Selection Process

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

1. Paper-I (Computer Based Examination)
2. Paper-II (Descriptive, translation and essay)
3. Document Verification

Paper-II is handwritten, not objective

This is the only major SSC exam whose deciding paper is conventional descriptive — translation passages from Hindi to English and English to Hindi, plus essays in both languages. Objective-test practice alone is not sufficient preparation.

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.
