SSC Chairman Message regarding SSC Exams: Key Points Of Message

Dear Readers,

SSC(Staff Selection Commission) : Chairman's Message

Dear Students, Unraveling the matter of fact regarding its functioning, a notable information from the desk of Chairman of SSC is again here to wipe out the misleading information that The NDTV in their Prime Time News telecast on 17th and 18th January 2018, where they covered the Staff Selection Commission, New Delhi, based on limited inputs related to two of its examinations viz. Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination 2015 and Combined Graduate Level Examination 2016, without a proper appreciation of the overall context.

• It has been reiterated in this notice that out of the selected candidates in Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination 2015, dossiers of 8,900 candidates were sent to the User Departments in September-October 2017. For the remaining 294 candidates out of 9,194 occupied posts, further verification/scrutiny in consultation with the concerned candidates and Central Forensic Science Laboratories (CFSL) is already in progress and would be completed shortly. 
• SSC has clarified that this is the responsibility of the Ministries/Departments concerned to issue the appointment letters to the bona fide nominated candidates after due verification at their end. There is no role for the Commission to play with regard to the issuance of appointment letters to the candidates. This position was apparently not known to the anchor of NDTV. 

As per this latest notification by Commission, the final result of the Combined Higher Secondary Level (10+2) Examination 2016 is to be declared on 16.2.2018 surmounting all the barriers faced by the Commission.

To make it pertinently acceptable, especially for the benefit of the anchor of NDTV , who was ostensibly not aware of the rule position, the notification says that it is mandatory for the Commission, being an attached Office of Department of Personnel & Training (DoP&T) to seek the prior approval of DoP&T and Department of Legal Affairs (DoLA), before any appeal can be filed by the Commission in either, the Hon'ble High Court or in the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

In the last two years, i.e. from January 2016 to January 2018, the Staff Selection Commission, New Delhi has conducted 27 examinations (comprising 43 stages of examinations) for 3,37,65,415 registered candidates. While this campaign launched by NDTV is still on.

• Junior Engineer Examination (Paper-I) is the 28th examination being conducted by the Commission since January 2016. 
• On the 28th January 2018, the Commission would be conducting yet another examination i.e. the Multi—Tasking (Non-Technical) Staff Examination (Paper-II) 2016. 
• Furthermore, before the closure of the current financial year, the Commission would be conducting an additional four examinations.

It has been acknowledged that out of 27 examinations already conducted by the Commission since January 2016, the results of 15 examinations have already been declared. The results of the remaining 12 examinations would be declared in quick succession in the ensuing six months i.e.

• The results of four examinations would be declared in February 2018; 
• Five results in March 2018; and
• One result each in May, June and July 2018.

The above facts have been brought in the public domain with a view to making it clear that the Staff Selection Commission, New Delhi is a robust organization which is committed to the merit based selection of the candidates and maintains a high level of integrity and efficiency in the conduct of its various examinations across the country dealing with the proceedings associating crores of aspirants annually.
