It is crucial to understand that this selection is provisional. The final appointment is subject to the next stage, which is Document Verification (DV).
- DV by User Departments: Unlike previous years, the SSC will not conduct the Document Verification. The DV process will be handled directly by the individual Ministries/Departments/Offices that have been allocated to you.
- Communication from Department: The allocated department will contact you directly regarding the schedule and requirements for DV and other appointment formalities.
- Crucial Six-Month Window: The SSC has clearly stated that if you do not receive any communication from your allocated department within six months from the date of result declaration (i.e., by January 11, 2026), you must immediately contact the department yourself. The Commission will not entertain any queries regarding this.
- No Reserve List: Please note that the SSC does not maintain a waiting or reserve list. Any vacancies that arise due to the non-joining of candidates will be carried forward to the next year’s recruitment cycle.
