SSC Combined Matric Level Examination 2008 Mode of Selection
19. Mode of Selection:
Candidates
fulfilling the prescribed qualifications will be required to undergo a
Written Examination. The Commission holds full discretion to fix
minimum qualifying marks component-wise in Paper-I and II for different
categories, i.e., UR, SC, ST, OBC, etc.
Candidates
declared qualified on the basis of the Preliminary Examination would be
required to appear for the Main Examination and those who qualify the
Main examination will be called for skill test.
Final
Select List would be prepared on All- India basis in order of merit as
disclosed by the aggregate marks (marks of Written Examination and
SKILL test (in respect of Grade D and Grade C Stenos) – (Typewriting
Test for LDCs is a qualifying test only) finally awarded to each
candidate as given under this scheme of recruitment and in that order
so many candidates as are found by the Commission to have qualified in
the Examination will be recommended for appointment upto the number of
un-reserved vacancies.
Provided
that SC, ST and OBC candidates, who are selected on their own merit
without relaxed standards, alongwith candidates belonging to other
communities, will not be adjusted against the reserved share of
vacancies.
The reserved vacancies will
be filled up separately from amongst the eligible SCs, STs and OBCs
which will, thus, comprise of SC, ST and OBC candidates who are lower
in merit than the last general candidate on merit list of unreserved
category but otherwise found suitable for appointment even by relaxed
standard.
Provided that the candidates
belonging to the PH (OH, HH and VH ) category or Ex-Servicemen, to the
extent the number of vacancies reserved for them, be recommended at the
relaxed standards to make up for the deficiency in the reserved quota
subject to fitness of such candidates for selection, irrespective of
their ranks in the order of merit.
However,
an Ex-Serviceman or Physically Handicapped category candidate who
qualifies on the basis of relaxed standards viz. age limit, experience
or qualifications, permitted number of chances in written examination,
extended zone of consideration, etc. is to be counted against reserved
vacancies and not against general vacancies.
In
so far as cases of Ex-Servicemen are concerned, deduction of Military
Service rendered from the age of Ex-Servicemen is permissible against
the reserved or unreserved posts and such exemption cannot be termed as
relaxed standards in regard to age.
Success
in the examination confers no right of appointment unless government is
satisfied after such enquiry as may be considered necessary that the
candidate is suitable in all respects for appointment to the service /
post.
Resolution of tie cases
(A) in case of stenographer grade ‘d’ and stenographer grade ‘c’ examination
If
there are candidates having the same aggregate marks in the written
examination plus Stenography Test then the tie is resolved by the
Commission by referring to the total marks in the written examination,
i.e., a candidate having more marks in the written examination gets
preference over the candidates having the same aggregate marks.
If
the tie still persists, then the marks in the paper where the first
cutoff is given is referred to, i.e., a candidate having more marks in
this paper is given preference.
This
procedure is followed by Date of Birth, i.e., the candidate older in
age gets preference. Lastly, if the tie still persists, the tie is
finally resolved by referring to the alphabetical order of names, i.e.,
a candidate whose name begins with the alphabet which comes first in
the alphabetical order gets preference.
(B) In case of LDCs Examination
If
there are candidates having the same aggregate marks in the written
examination ( Typing Test is of qualifying nature ) then the tie is
resolved by the Commission by referring to the marks of the paper where
the first cut-off is given, i.e., a candidate having more marks in this
paper is given preference.
If the tie
still persists then Date of Birth of the candidates is referred to,
i.e., the candidate older in age gets preference. Lastly, if the tie
still persists, the tie is finally resolved by referring to the
alphabetical order of names, i.e., a candidate whose name begins with
the alphabet which comes first in the alphabetical order gets
preference.
Note: The
candidates applying for the examination should ensure that they fulfill
all the eligibility conditions for admission to the examination.
Their
admission at all the stages of examination will be purely provisional,
subject to their satisfying the prescribed eligibility conditions. If,
on verification, at any time before or after the written examination
and skill test, it is found that they do not fulfill any of the
eligibility conditions, their candidature for the examination will be
cancelled by the Commission.
