Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has launched a new official website ssc.gov.in. All candidates are required to complete a fresh One Time Registration (OTR) on this portal. Previous registrations on the old SSC website are no longer valid.

Once registered, candidates can use the OTR profile to apply for all future SSC exams like CGL, CHSL, MTS, GD, JE, JHT, SI, and others.
