Have a question related to SSC JHT ?

Hi there,

Hope you are doing fine.

If you have cleared the SSC JHT exam but do not have your diploma degree at the time of the selection process you may face challenges with your eligibility for appointment. Typically SSC and similar examination boards require candidates to have completed their educational qualifications by the time of the document verification process.

In most of the cases the final selection and appointment are dependent on the submission of all required documents including the proof of educational qualifications. If you are unable to provide your diploma during the selection process due to its pending status  it can affect your eligibility for the appointment.

However you can check if the SSC allows for a provisional acceptance or has a specific provision for candidates who are in the process of obtaining their degrees by visiting their official website and then get an idea that whether  you might be able to provide a certificate or an affidavit from your institution confirming that you have completed all necessary coursework and will receive your diploma shortly.

You can visit the SSC official website, contact them ,read the guidelines and brochures carefully to get clarity on your condition.

Hope this resolves your query.
