in the SSC exams were about 1 million. This number rose to whooping 8.85
million in the year 2011-2012. The SSC Chairman is expecting around 13 million
applications for the 2012-13. This year, the SSC has the task of recruiting
personnel for the Home Ministry as well. There are many vacancies available for
internal security agencies falling under the Home Ministry.
To manage the huge applications received, the SSC examinations
authorities are planning to introduce online application services. They are
also trying to modernize the hiring system. The Chairman opined that taking the
exams to the next level, they are trying to introduce online examinations. The
lack of proper hardware infrastructure is causing a hindrance. For example,
creating such large number of terminals for computer connection is a big
challenge. With so many applications received, it is difficult to manage such a
huge online examination.
Among other developments in the SSC Examinations, the authorities have
restructured the examination patterns. The restructuring is done based on the
recommendations of second administrative reforms commission. Another
development is that SSC information is now available in 10 regional languages.
The SSC will have regional language portals to draw more applicants.
