Have a question related to SSC CHSL ?
Hello,
Yes, your EWS certificate issued by the Rajasthan government will work for SSC CHSL 2025 , but it must be in the format prescribed by the Central Government .
So, if your current certificate follows the
Central Government format
, then it is fine.
If not, then you should get a
fresh EWS certificate in Central format
from the competent authority.
Make sure it is issued for the current financial year and clearly mentions that it is for employment under the Government of India .
Hope it helps !
