Page 8 of 88

8.2 Candidates are cautioned that they must ensure that they belong to the
category as filled up in the Online Application Form and can prove the same
by furnishing the requisite certificate issued by the competent authority
when such certificates are sought by User Organizations/ Offices concerned

candidature of the candidate will be cancelled. If the candidature of a
candidate is cancelled by the User Organization/ Offices for non-furnishing
of the requisite certificate in support of the category filled in the Online
Application Form, the candidate would be solely responsible for furnishing
false information in the Online Application Form, and the Commission would
not be held responsible in this regard. Further, it should be noted that any
grievance received in this regard in any form, like Post, Fax, Email, by hand,
etc. shall not be entertained by the Commission and will be summarily
rejected.

For example, if a candidate filled OBC in his Online Application Form and if he
is unable to produce the OBC certificate as per the Notice of the Examination
at the time of Document Verification or any other stage before the User
Organization/Office, in such circumstances, his candidature will be cancelled
by the User Organization/Office.

8.3 The candidates with benchmark disabilities (PwBD) may note that they must
select the appropriate PwBD category, i.e., OH/ HH/ PwBD-Others, while
filling in the Online Application Form as per their certificate of disability
issued by the competent authority. No subsequent changes to the PwBD
category will be allowed under any circumstances. Such candidates shall
have to furnish the requisite certificate issued by the competent authority
when such certificates are sought by User Organizations/ Offices concerned
at the time of Document Verification or any other stage, failing which their
candidature will be cancelled. It may be noted that sub-category/sub-
categories of disability/disabilities (such as OA, OL, BL, Dw, MI, SLD etc.), as
indicated in Notification No. 38-16/2020-DD-III dated 04.01.2021 issued by
Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, should be
mentioned by the competent authority issuing the disability certificate. If the
candidature of a candidate is cancelled by the User Organization/ Offices for
non-furnishing of the requisite certificate in support of the category filled in
the Online Application Form, the candidate would be solely responsible for
furnishing false information in the Online Application Form. Further, it
should be noted that any grievance received in this regard in any form, like
Post, Fax, Email, by hand, etc., shall not be entertained by the Commission
and will be summarily rejected.

8.4 A person seeking appointment on the basis of reservation to EWS must
ensure that he/she possesses the Income & Asset certificate valid for the

Appointing Authority. Candidates are cautioned that they will be debarred
from the Examinations conducted by the Commission in case they fraudulently
claim the status of SC/ ST/ OBC/ EWS/ PwBD/ ESM.
8.6 The crucial date for the claim of SC/ ST/ OBC/ EWS/ PwBD/ ESM status or any
other benefit, viz., fee concession, reservation, age-relaxation, etc., will be the
closing date of the Online Application Form. The "crucial date" means that the
candidate should belong to the relevant category as on that date; it does not
refer to the date of issue of the certificate.

candidates who have undergone an Aadhaar-Based Authentication.

16 Document Verification (DV): Document Verification (DV) will be conducted
by the User Organizations/ Offices after the declaration of the final result.
16.1 Staff Selection Commission recruits personnel as per the vacancies reported
by the User Departments/ Organizations. The Commission has no role in the
determination of total vacancies (Vertical & Horizontal) arising in a User
Department/Organization, backlog vacancies, segregation of vacancies under
various reserved categories and vacancies reported to be filled up by direct
recruitment. After declaration of final result of the examination, dossiers of
selected candidates are forwarded to the User
Ministries/Departments/Organizations.
16.2 The User Ministries/Departments/Organizations shall accept the dossiers
forwarded after declaration of final result. No User
Ministry/Department/Organization shall return the dossier(s) of selected
candidates on the ground of non-availability of Horizontal vacancies or on
the ground that a Horizontal vacancy exists but the dossier of that category

Page 26 of 88

has not been provided by the Commission.
16.3 Staff Selection Commission confirms the vacancies from User
Ministries/Departments/Organizations before declaration of the final result.
Final result is declared and nominations/recommendations are made only
against such confirmed vacancies. The User
Ministries/Departments/Organizations will, therefore, accept the
nominations made and dossiers sent to them. In case a
Ministry/Department/Organization is wound up, reorganized, or transferred
under the administrative control of another
Ministry/Department/Organization, its successor/administrative
Ministry/Department will accept the dossiers. In case, the entire hierarchy of
organizations up to the Ministry level is wound up, the Ministry/Department
to which its work has been transferred would accept the dossiers. In the
event that work of the Ministry/Department/Organization has not been
transferred to any other Ministry/Department, the Ministry/Department
whose work is closely related to the erstwhile work of the former will accept
the dossiers. Decision of the Commission in this regard would be final.
16.4 As per policy of the commission, SSC does not maintain the waiting
list/reserve list in respect of multi factor examinations conducted by it.
However, it has been observed by the Commission that after final results,
some vacancies remain unfilled after Document Verification. Therefore, in an
endeavor to fill all the notified vacancies to maximum, the Commission is
contemplating to introduce a scheme for single round of post allotment
sliding seeking to fill up unfilled vacancies reported after Document
Verification through extended cut off. Implementation of this sliding scheme
is subject to the approval of Government of India and if approved, complete
modalities of its implementation will be notified by the commission on its
website.

cancelled.

17 Post Preferences:
17.1 Preference for various posts and departments will be taken from the
candidates through the Online Option Form on the website of the Commission
before the declaration of the final result. A candidate will not be considered
for a Post and Organization/Office if he has not indicated his preference for it.
Options once submitted shall be treated as final and will not be changed
subsequently under any circumstances. Therefore, candidates must be careful
in the exercise of such options.
17.2 The option/preference once exercised by the candidates will be treated as FINAL
and IRREVERSIBLE. Subsequent requests for change of Post/ Department by
candidates shall not be entertained under any circumstances. If the candidate
has not opted for a Post/ Department, he shall not be considered for selection
to such post irrespective of his merit position. Therefore, candidates must
exercise due diligence and be very careful while giving their post-preferences.
17.3 Candidates, who do not submit their post preference(s) on the website of the
Commission within the stipulated time, will not be considered for any post in
the Final Result. If an eligible candidate fails to submit online post preference
(s) within the stipulated time, it will be assumed that he does not wish to
participate further in the recruitment process. Such candidates shall not be
Page 28 of 88

provided with another opportunity to exercise preference for posts and will
not be considered for any post in the final result for which the candidate will
be solely responsible. Any grievance received in this regard in any form like
Post, Fax, Email, by hand, etc. shall not be entertained by the Commission and
will be summarily rejected.
17.4 Posts of Junior Engineers in BRO have stringent requirements of physical and
medical standards including Physical Efficiency Tests (Details available in
Annexure-XVI). Examination of such physical and medical standards will be
conducted by BRO after the declaration of the final result. If a candidate fails in
such tests, his candidature may not be subsequently considered for any other
post/ department. Candidates are therefore advised to go through these
requirements thoroughly and submit their considered preference for posts.

18 Mode of Selection:
18.1 Minimum qualifying marks in Paper-I and Paper-II are as follows:
(i) UR : 30%
(ii) OBC/ EWS : 25%
(iii) All other categories : 20%
18.2 Based on the normalized marks scored in the (Paper-I) i.e. Computer Based
Examination, candidates will be shortlisted, category-wise, to appear in Paper-
II. The marks of Paper-II will also be normalized if Paper-II is conducted in
multiple shifts. However, the marks of the Electrical and Mechanical Branches
in Paper-II will be normalized by treating them as different shifts.
18.3 Final selection and allocation of Post/ Organization/ Office will be made on the
basis of the performance of candidates in Paper-I and Paper-II and the
preference of Post/ Organization/ Office exercised by them.
18.4 The final allotment of posts is made on the basis of merit-cum- preferences of
Post(s)/ Department(s) given by the candidates and once a post is allotted, no
change of posts will be made by the Commission due to non-fulfilment of any
post specific requirements of physical/ medical/ educational standards or any
other requirement. In other words, for example, if a candidate has given higher
preference for a post and is selected for that post; in that case, if he/ she fails
to meet the medical/ physical/educational standards or any other required
criterion for that post, his/ her candidature will be rejected and he/ she will not
be considered for any other posts.
18.5 SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwBD candidates, who are selected on their own merit
without relaxed standards, will not be adjusted against the reserved share of
vacancies. Such candidates will be accommodated against the unreserved
vacancies in the post as per their position in the overall merit or vacancies
earmarked for their category, whichever is advantageous to them. The
reserved vacancies will be filled up separately from amongst the eligible SC, ST,
OBC, EWS and PwBD candidates.
18.6 SC, ST, OBC, EWS and PwBD candidate who qualifies on the basis of relaxed
standards; viz., age limit, experience or qualifications, permitted number of
chances, extended zone of consideration, etc., irrespective of their merit

Page 29 of 88

position, are to be counted against reserved vacancies and not against
unreserved vacancies. Insofar as cases of ex-servicemen are concerned,
deduction of the military service rendered from the age of ex-servicemen is
permissible against the reserved or unreserved posts, and such exemption
will not be termed as relaxed standards in regard to age. Similarly, for the
PwBD candidates, a relaxation of 10 years in the upper age limit will not be
termed as a relaxed standard.
18.7 A person with a benchmark disability, who is selected on his/ her own merit, c a n
be appointed against an unreserved vacancy provided the post is identified as
suitable for persons with a benchmark disability of the relevant category.
18.8 Success in the Examination confers no right of appointment unless the
Government is satisfied after such enquiry as may be considered necessary
that the candidate is suitable in all respects for appointment to the service/
post.
18.9 The candidates applying for the Examination should ensure that they fulfil all
the eligibility conditions for admission to the Examination. Their admission at
all stages of the Examination will be purely provisional, subject to their
satisfying the prescribed eligibility conditions. If, on verification, at any time
before or after the written Examination, it is found that they do not fulfil any of
the eligibility conditions, their candidature for the Examination will be
cancelled.
18.10 Candidates who are appointed on the basis of this Examination shall be on
probation for a period of two years, and during the period of probation, the
candidates will be required to undergo such training or pass such examinations
as prescribed by the Controlling Authority. On successful completion of the
period of probation, the candidates shall, if considered fit for permanent
appointment, be confirmed to their post by the Cadre Controlling Authority.
18.11 Candidates selected for appointment are liable to serve anywhere in India; i.e.,
the posts carry All India Service Liability (AISL).
18.12 Candidates on final selection may be allotted a State/ UT/ Zone by the User
Organization/ Office concerned. Such candidates may be required to acquire
proficiency in the local language of the allotted State/ UT/ Zone for
confirmation of the candidates to the allotted posts by the User Organisation/
Office concerned.
18.13 If a candidate scoring more than cut-off marks in any Tier/ Stage of the
Examination is not qualified for the subsequent stage/ final selection due to
any reason, he/ she must represent the Regional Office concerned of the
Commission within two months of the declaration of the result or two weeks
before the conduct of next stage of the Examination, whichever is earlier.
18.14 If a candidate is finally selected and does not receive any correspondence from
the Commission or the User Organization/ Office concerned within a period of
one year from the declaration of the final result, he must communicate
immediately thereafter with the User Department/ Organization concerned.
18.15 The final allotment of posts is made on the basis of merit-cum-preferences of

Page 30 of 88

Posts/ Departments given by the candidates, and once a post is allotted, no
change of posts will be made by the Commission due to non-fulfilment of any
post-specific requirements of physical/ medical/ educational standards. [In other
words, for example, if a candidate has given higher preference for a post and is
selected for that post; in that case, if he fails to meet the medical/ physical/
educational standards for that post, his candidature may be rejected and he may
not be considered for any other preferences and no correspondence in this
regard will be entertained by the Commission.]
18.16 The Commission undertakes comprehensive post-examination analysis to ensure
the integrity and fairness of the Examination process. This includes detailed
scrutiny through log analysis, photo and biometric verification, and CCTV Footage
review. Candidates found to be involved in any form of malpractice or unfair
means during any stage of the Examination are liable to strict action, including
cancellation of candidature and debarment from future Examinations, as per the
policy of the Commission.
