One time registration requires filling up basic details, additional details and contact details, uploading scanned image of passport size photograph and signature. Name, father’s name, mother’s name, date of birth should match with data in class 10 i.e. matriculation certificate.
Upon successfully completing OTR, those wishing to apply for SSC CGL need to login through the login section of ssc.nic.in. then click apply link under “Combined Graduate Level Examination 2019” section under “Latest Notifications” tab. In the online form, data in the fields with serial numbers 1 through 14 will be pre-filled on the basis of OTR. Rest, needs to be filled. The last step would be to pay the exam fee. Those exempt from fee, need not do it.
In February, SSC NR, NWR, CR, NER, MPR, ER, KKR, WR, and SR will individually release admit cards for SSC CGL exam on their websites sscnr.net.in, sscnwr.org, ssc-cr.org, sscner.org.in, sscmpr.org, sscer.org, ssckkr.kar.nic.in, sscwr.net, sscsr.gov.in.
