Which SSC exam is right for you?
SSC means Staff Selection Commission. It conducts exams for Central Government jobs. Start with your qualification—Class 10, Class 12, graduation, or a technical/specialist qualification.
Choose your education level
You may be eligible for more than one exam. Pick the level you have completed, then compare the job type and selection stages.
After Class 10
For support staff, Havaldar, constable and post-specific vacancies.
After Class 12
For clerical, junior secretariat, data-entry and stenography work.
After Graduation
For assistants, inspectors, auditors, accountants and Sub-Inspectors.
Technical or Specialist
For engineering, translation, shorthand and post-specific qualifications.
