Hi Nidhi,

For the SSC CGL form, your passing year should be the year when you completed all requirements for your graduation, including clearing any backlogs. Since you cleared your backlog in 2023 and your final marksheet date is June 24, 2024, you should mention 2024 as your passing year .

This is because your degree is considered complete only when all subjects, including backlogs, are cleared and you have been awarded the final marksheet.


Hope it helps!

Greetings,
If you do not see "General" category option in additional category section during registration you should typically select "Unreserved" (UR) or any similar term that denotes the general category.

  • Look for "Unreserved" (UR) : This is the common term used for the general category.
  • Check for "General" or "Open" : Sometimes, these terms are used interchangeably.
  • Refer to Instructions : Look at the guidelines or instructions provided on the registration page for clarification.
  • Contact Support : If it’s still unclear, consider reaching out to the SSC helpdesk or support team for assistance.

    I hope this information is helpful to you.

  2. Enter the Seat Number : When the form asks for your roll number or roll code, enter this "Seat Number" exactly as it appears on your certificate.
  3. Confirm the Format : Ensure that the format you enter matches any specifications provided on the SSC CGL form (e.g., number of digits, any special characters).

If you encounter any specific formatting issues or the form does not accept your entry, consider these additional steps:

  1. Check Instructions : Refer to the detailed instructions provided in the form or on the SSC official website for any specific guidelines related to Maharashtra Board students.
