New Scribe Registration Portal for PwD/PwBD Candidates

SSC has launched a One-Time Registration (OTR) portal exclusively for scribes, which becomes active on October 26, 2024. This portal is for individuals interested in assisting PwD/PwBD candidates during SSC exams. Registered individuals will receive a unique OTR number, necessary for PwD candidates to generate their Admission Certificate and Scribe Entry Pass for Paper-II. This measure ensures both the candidate and scribe are properly registered and authorized for the examination.

Access to Digital Reference Materials: IS Code and Steam Table

To enhance the examination experience, SSC has introduced digital access to important reference materials for Paper-II. Candidates in the Civil & Structural Engineering stream (Part-A) will have access to the IS 456:2000 Code of Practice, while those in the Mechanical Engineering stream (Part-C) can use the Steam Table. Both resources will be accessible through the “Useful Data” section on the exam console, ensuring candidates have reliable, easy access to necessary reference data.
