New Changes for SSC CGL 2025 Exam
1. SSC has implemented Aadhaar-based biometric authentication for all its recruitment exams, including SSC CGL 2025. This policy aims to enhance identity verification and reduce fraudulent practices like impersonation during the exam process.
2. Candidates can voluntarily use Aadhaar authentication at three stages: online registration, application submission, and at the exam centre during the test. This involves biometric verification (e.g., fingerprint or facial recognition) linked to the candidate’s Aadhaar number.
3. SSC upgraded its ‘mySSC app’ to allow candidates to apply for exams, including SSC CGL 2025, directly through the app.
Two new posts, “Section Head” and “Office Superintendent” were added this year.
