Guidelines and restrictions
Candidates must reach their exam centres by 10.00 am. The SSC has mandated strict rules: carbon copies of Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheets will be allowed, but any extra markings may lead to disqualification. Admit cards are compulsory, and candidates facing issues must also carry their Aadhaar card.
Electronic gadgets, including smartwatches and calculators, are prohibited. Each room will have a wall clock, while CCTV monitoring is compulsory. Deputy magistrate-level officers will supervise the process.
An SSC official said, “All necessary arrangements have been made to ensure fairness and transparency in the examination.”
