SSC Selection Post Phase 13 results declared; just 2.3% shortlisted out of 29 lakh candidates

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has declared the Phase 13 Selection Post results, with only 2.3% of the 29 lakh registered candidates shortlisted across matriculation, higher secondary, and graduation-level posts.

As per the SSC Selection Post results, a total of 29,39,401 (29 lakh) candidates applied for the recruitment exam, of which only around 67,500 candidates have been selected for the next stage of scrutiny.

The SSC Selection Post exam, which began in July, was postponed multiple times, with retests conducted after several shifts were cancelled due to technical and administrative issues. The disruptions triggered nationwide protests by candidates, who flagged discrepancies, technical glitches, and alleged mismanagement in the conduct of the exam.
