In SSC CGL (Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level) exams, eligibility criteria are crucial for determining your application status and post allocation.

I am applying for ssc cgl and at time of registration in additional category section I am not able to see general category option. what to select there for general category
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.
Ive passed 10th from SSC (maharashtra) board. Ive to fill Ssc cgl form ... and its asking me roll no. or roll code .. but in my SSC certificate there is no such roll number mentioned..only seat number is mentioned what should i do?
Hello Sakshi,
First of all Don't worry.
When filling out the SSC CGL form and asked for the roll number or roll code, you can use the "Seat Number" mentioned on your SSC (Maharashtra Board) certificate. The "Seat Number" is equivalent to the roll number or roll code for the purposes of the form.
Here are the steps you can follow:
- Locate the Seat Number : Find the "Seat Number" on your SSC certificate. This is typically a unique number assigned to you during your exams.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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.
- Contact Support : If you are still unsure or face issues, contact the SSC helpdesk or customer support for clarification. They can provide guidance on what to enter in this field.
- Check Forums/Groups : Look for advice from other candidates who might have faced similar issues on educational forums or social media groups dedicated to SSC exam preparation.
Hope it helps!
