Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level Exam
If your 10th marksheet has the correct date of birth but your Aadhar Card and father's surname have mistakes , SSC CGL may face issues during document verification . SSC CGL considers the 10th marksheet as valid proof for Date of Birth , but all documents must match.
Hello Vikas,
Yes, you can definitely apply for SSC CGL with the name as mentioned in your ID cards, but you need to ensure that all are the same across documents prior to the document verification stage. The name discrepancy may not lead to the cancellation of your application, but it can mean trouble during the document verification stage, if it does not match your 10th/matriculation certificate (which is often used as primary proof of name and DOB).
What to do:
No, just because the SSC CGL application form displays an error during filling out does not mean that your candidature will be automatically cancelled. The primary reasons for these errors, if you have already correctly completed **One-Time Registration (OTR)**, are typically browser problems, server overload, or small data entry errors. After deleting your browser's cache, using a different browser (ideally Chrome or Firefox), or applying during off-peak hours, you can try again. If the problem persists, you can email the regional SSC office with your registration ID and error screenshot, or you can submit a ticket via the **SSC helpdesk**. Your candidature is safe as long as you apply before the deadline and your OTR is valid.
Hello Aspirant,
Yes, B.E. (Bachelor of Engineering) is considered as a Graduation (Bachelor’s Degree) for SSC CGL and all other government exams.
In the SSC CGL application form, you should select the option “Graduation” (or Bachelor’s Degree if given).
All the best for your SSC CGL preparation.
No, there won’t be any problem during SSC CGL document verification if you have:
Consolidated Marksheet (showing all semester-wise subjects and marks)
Provisional Degree Certificate
These are accepted for verification, especially if your final degree certificate is yet to be issued by IGNOU. Many universities, including IGNOU, issue provisional certificates until the original degree is awarded at convocation.
All the best for your SSC CGL journey.

Dear student, Yes, as a Pharm.D (Doctor of Pharmacy) graduate, you are eligible to apply for the SSC CGL exam, as long as you meet the other basic criteria like age and nationality.
The minimum educational qualification for most SSC CGL posts is a Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university. Even though Pharm.D is a professional doctorate, it is treated as a graduate-level qualification for SSC CGL purposes. So, you qualify academically for almost all general posts under SSC CGL.
However, some specific posts like Junior Statistical Officer (JSO) or Statistical Investigator do require a background in Mathematics or Statistics , either in your 12th standard or as a core subject in your degree. If you don’t meet that, you’ll have to skip those specific posts.
The general age limit for SSC CGL is between 18 and 32 years , depending on the post, with relaxations for reserved categories. You should check the exact age criteria for the post you're targeting in the official notification.
Also, a few posts like Inspector or Sub-Inspector may require you to meet certain physical standards.
To sum up, with a Pharm.D degree, you're eligible for SSC CGL , especially for most of the administrative and officer-level roles. Just be sure to read the official notification for any post-specific requirements.
Yes, as a 33 years and 9 months old OBC candidate, you can apply for most of the posts in SSC CGL with the benefit of age relaxation by three years provided to OBC candidates. So, in an effective sense, your upper age limit would be 33 years for posts with upper age limit 30 years and 36 years for posts in which the upper limit is 33 years. You are eligible for Assistant Audit Officer and Inspector of Income Tax posts. Just make sure you meet the educational qualification for AAO, which may include a desirable qualification in CA/MBA/Cost Accounting, etc.
Hello Pooja,
If you filled the wrong date of birth on the SSC CGL application form and the correction window is closed, here’s what can happen:
Document Mismatch : During document verification, your application may be rejected if the DOB on the form doesn't match your 10th certificate or official ID.
No Correction Later : SSC generally does not allow changes after the correction window. Mistakes in DOB are taken seriously.
What You Can Do :
Appear for the exam if your application isn’t rejected initially.
During document verification, clearly explain the issue and provide valid proof (birth certificate, 10th marksheet, Aadhaar, etc.).
You may write to SSC’s regional office requesting consideration, but acceptance is not guaranteed.
In future attempts, ensure all details are double-checked before final submission.
