SSC Introduces Reforms for Exam Transparency

On 3rd October 2025, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) announced a series of reforms to make its examinations more transparent, secure, and convenient for candidates across India.

Candidates appearing in SSC examinations can now access their own question papers, responses, and the correct answers, enabling them to verify and challenge answer keys with proper evidence.
The commission has reduced the fee for challenging questions from ₹100 to ₹50 per question, making it more affordable for aspirants to seek redressal.
Aadhaar-based authentication and equi-percentile normalisation have been introduced to ensure fair assessment and secure identification of candidates.
SSC will publish selected past question papers as official sample sets at regular intervals to help candidates prepare effectively and understand the exam pattern.
A dedicated portal has been set up to facilitate quicker redressal of candidate grievances, complementing the already existing toll-free helpline.
