SSC MTS Selection Process

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

1. Computer Based Examination (Session I and Session II)
2. Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Standard Test (Havaldar posts only)
3. Document Verification

The two sessions are marked differently

This is the detail most candidates miss. Session I carries no negative marking, so every question is worth attempting. Session II deducts a full mark per wrong answer, which is heavier than most SSC papers — guessing there is expensive.

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.
