What is SSC CHSL UFM Rule ?

“Candidates are strictly advised not to write any personal identity e.g. name, roll number, mobile number, address, etc inside the Answer Book. The candidates who fail to adhere to these instructions will be awarded zero marks even if marks are awarded during the evaluation process”.

It was observed by commission that a majority of candidates had followed the instructions meticulously. Though 4,560 somehow ignored the guidelines and did what was prohibited. Hence their candidature was rejected by the commission as per SSC recruitment guidelines.

But since many candidates raised this issue to resolve this issue, the Commission has also decided to constitute a committee of experts to examine the matter and give its recommendations for the consideration of the Commission.
