Frequently asked questions
Why does the cut-off date change?
SSC sets it in each notice. It has been 1 August in some years and 1 January in others, so your birth-date range moves with it.
Do the same relaxations apply as for CGL?
In the notice read here, yes: 3 years for OBC, 5 for SC and ST and 10 for disability. Ex-servicemen get their own rule.
