Aadhaar Face Authentication Exemption for VH Candidates
In a notable move for inclusivity, SSC has exempted visually impaired (VH) candidates from the mandatory Aadhaar Face Authentication during registration. This adjustment aims to make the process smoother and more accessible for candidates with visual disabilities. Candidates needing assistance can contact the SSC Helpdesk via toll-free number 1800-309-3063 or helpdesk-ssc@ssc.nic.in.
SSC Strengthens Communication and Transparency
To prevent misinformation, SSC has launched its verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, where candidates and aspirants can access official notifications.
Recently, the Commission has also implemented measures to enhance fairness and transparency:
- Access to question papers, responses, and answer keys for candidates.
- Option to challenge discrepancies with credible evidence.
- Release of selected previous question papers as official sample sets to aid exam preparation.
These initiatives aim to make SSC recruitment more transparent, candidate-friendly, and accountable for the lakhs of aspirants appearing each year.
Delhi High Court Seeks SSC Response on Social Media Ban
On 08 October 2025, the Delhi High Court issued a notice to SSC regarding a petition challenging its restriction on discussing SSC exam papers on social media.
A Division Bench led by Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela noted that a blanket ban may not be justified, stating:
“You can't impose such a gag order. Discussing the paper after an exam is natural.” The SSC has been directed to file its response within three days.
