"SSC Pledges Zero Tolerance for Recruitment Exam Malpractices"

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has issued guidelines prohibiting unethical behavior during Commission examinations. Every year, SSC administers a number of recruitment exams, including the combination graduate level (CGL), the combined higher secondary level (CHSL), and others.

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has sent out a strong warning to anyone abusing its examination system. The SSC made clear in a recent press release that anyone found to have disclosed, published, reproduced, transmitted, or stored any portion of the exam content will face harsh consequences.

The commission's commitment to upholding the integrity of its examination procedure is demonstrated by this warning, which comes in the wake of reports of significant anomalies in the SSC Clerk Exam 2024.

Additionally, Delhi Police has opened a probe and filed a formal complaint (FIR) about claims of widespread irregularities in an SSC clerical exam. According to reports, the SSC has discovered a minimum of 53 students who cheated on the online exam by using unethical tactics.

The commission issues a warning, stating that it constitutes serious misconduct to reveal, publish, or save test content in any format, including rough drafts. Those found guilty will not be allowed to retake the test."

"It has come to the notice of the Commission that some persons are engaged in the aforesaid activities through social media i.e. Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, etc.," states the official notification.
