Dear student,

Yes, as a Pharm.D (Doctor of Pharmacy) graduate, you are eligible to apply for the SSC CGL exam, as long as you meet the other basic criteria like age and nationality.

The minimum educational qualification for most SSC CGL posts is a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university. Even though Pharm.D is a professional doctorate, it is treated as a graduate-level qualification for SSC CGL purposes. So, you qualify academically for almost all general posts under SSC CGL.

However, some specific posts like Junior Statistical Officer (JSO) or Statistical Investigator do require a background in Mathematics or Statistics , either in your 12th standard or as a core subject in your degree. If you don’t meet that, you’ll have to skip those specific posts.

The general age limit for SSC CGL is between 18 and 32 years , depending on the post, with relaxations for reserved categories. You should check the exact age criteria for the post you're targeting in the official notification.

Also, a few posts like Inspector or Sub-Inspector may require you to meet certain physical standards.

To sum up, with a Pharm.D degree, you're eligible for SSC CGL , especially for most of the administrative and officer-level roles. Just be sure to read the official notification for any post-specific requirements.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, as a 33 years and 9 months old OBC candidate, you can apply for most of the posts in SSC CGL with the benefit of age relaxation by three years provided to OBC candidates. So, in an effective sense, your upper age limit would be 33 years for posts with upper age limit 30 years and 36 years for posts in which the upper limit is 33 years. You are eligible for Assistant Audit Officer and Inspector of Income Tax posts. Just make sure you meet the educational qualification for AAO, which may include a desirable qualification in CA/MBA/Cost Accounting, etc.

Hello Pooja,

If you filled the wrong date of birth on the SSC CGL application form and the correction window is closed, here’s what can happen:

  1. Document Mismatch : During document verification, your application may be rejected if the DOB on the form doesn't match your 10th certificate or official ID.

  2. No Correction Later : SSC generally does not allow changes after the correction window. Mistakes in DOB are taken seriously.

  3. What You Can Do :

    • Appear for the exam if your application isn’t rejected initially.

    • During document verification, clearly explain the issue and provide valid proof (birth certificate, 10th marksheet, Aadhaar, etc.).

    • You may write to SSC’s regional office requesting consideration, but acceptance is not guaranteed.

In future attempts, ensure all details are double-checked before final submission.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

HELLO,

If you are an ex serviceman and you want to apply for the Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level exam then you get some extra years added to the age limit based on your category

  • if you belong to the general category you get three years of relaxation after subtracting the number of years you served in the military from your current age

  • if you are from the other backward classes category you get six years

  • if you are from the scheduled castes or scheduled tribes category you get eight years

now which jobs can ex servicemen apply for

you can apply for most jobs in group C and some jobs in group B but not all group B jobs allow ex servicemen to apply so it is important to check the job notification each year when the Staff Selection Commission releases it

To be considered an ex serviceman you should have

  • served in the Indian Army Indian Navy or Indian Air Force

  • been officially discharged or retired either because you chose to or because the military released you

  • possibly received a pension or completed your full term of service

  • if you are not a graduate then you must have served for at least fifteen years in the armed forces to apply

In simple words the Staff Selection Commission allows ex servicemen to apply for many government jobs with some age benefits but your service record and education level must meet their conditions

Hope it helps!
