Have a question related to SSC GD Constable ?

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out to Careers360 about applying for the SSC GD Constable form.


It sounds like you're having some trouble with the application process, specifically with the Aadhar Card, mobile number, and Gmail ID fields. That can be pretty frustrating, I know.


Just to make sure I understand correctly - are you saying that your Aadhar Card details, mobile number, and Gmail ID are already showing up in the form? Or are you having trouble entering this information?


If the info is already there and it's correct, that's actually good news! It means the system has pulled your details automatically, which should save you some time.


But if there's an issue with the information or you're unable to edit it, we might need to look into it further. Could you give me a bit more detail about what exactly is happening when you try to fill out these sections?


I'd be happy to help you figure this out so you can get your application submitted smoothly.
