It is easy to fill out the SSC application form if you follow the instructions properly. Let us divide it into steps so that you feel confident at every step.

Step 1: Visit the Official SSC Website

Visit the SSC website at https://ssc.nic.in/. This is the only way to apply. Use a computer or a mobile device with a good internet connection. Keep your documents ready, such as your 10th certificate, photo, and signature.

Step 2: Register as a New User

Click on “New User? Register Now” on the homepage. It will tell you to log in through https://ssc.gov.in/. Click on “Login or Register”. Fill in your basic details like name, father’s name, mother’s name, date of birth, and mobile number. Make sure your name and date of birth match your 10th certificate exactly. After filling it out, you’ll get a registration number and password. Save them safely!

Step 3: Log In to Your Account

Enter your registration number and password to log in. You have the option to reset your password in case it has been forgotten by clicking "Forgot Password" and resetting it through your mobile number or email. Save your login details for future reference.

Step 4: Select the Exam

After you log in, select the "Apply" button. Select the exam on which you are applying, e.g., SSC CGL or CHSL. Carefully go through the notice of the exam to see whether you are qualified or not. For instance, SSC CGL requires a bachelor's degree, and CHSL requires a 12th pass.

Step 5: Fill in Personal Details

Give your details, such as address, category (General, SC, ST, OBC), and educational qualifications. Check everything twice. If you are wrong, your application will be cancelled. Be accurate and truthful.

Step 6: Upload Photo and Signature

Upload a current passport-size photo and signature. Ensure the photo is clear and on a light-coloured or white background. Make your signature in blue or black ink on white paper. Use the size limit: photo (20-50 KB) and signature (10-20 KB). Scan them or take their photos with the phone camera and upload them as JPGs.

Step 7: Select Exam Centre

Select your preferred test centre from the list. Select a city near you for convenience. You may select up to three choices. You cannot change it once selected, so be careful.

Step 8: Pay the Application Fee

The fee is Rs. 100 for all candidates except for women, SC, ST, PwBD, and ex-servicemen, who are exempt. Pay online using a debit card, credit card, or UPI. Offline payment can be done by generating a challan and visiting a bank. Preserve the payment receipt.

Step 9: Check and Submit

Verify every detail in the form. Ensure no spelling errors or incorrect details have been filled in. Fill in "Submit" only if you're sure. Once submitted, you cannot make changes to the form unless SSC provides a chance to rectify it. Take a print of the form for future use.

Step 10: Verify Application Status

After a few days, log in to see if your application is accepted. If there’s an issue, SSC will tell you. Fix it during the correction window if available. Once accepted, you’ll get your admit card before the exam.

Tips to Avoid Mistakes
