Are people who submitted their ssc chsl 2020 forms with spectacles but with clearly visible eyes rejected? They are able to download their admits na? Please someone reply... I have done the same in ssc cgl 2020.please!
Hey,
Firstly, It's technically wrong that you are having power and you are not mentioning that in your form about that. Secondly, you will surely be issued the admit card as they will check it later even if they have to
But if you have not that huge power I don't think it should be much problem. Inform them about that in advance. Surely it will help you .
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
