The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has introduced the Aadhaar-enabled One Time Registration (OTR) for 2025, a streamlined process designed to simplify applications for various SSC examinations. This mandatory registration, hosted on the official SSC website (ssc.gov.in), requires candidates to link their Aadhaar details to create a centralized profile, eliminating the need to re-enter personal information for each exam. Starting June 2, 2025, this initiative enhances efficiency, reduces errors, and ensures secure identity verification. Candidates can complete the OTR process once and use the generated login credentials to apply for exams like SSC CGL, CHSL, JE, and others, making the application process faster and more user-friendly.

Key Dates:

• Application Begin: June 2, 2025

• No specific deadline for OTR, but it must be completed before applying for any SSC exam

Fees:

• No registration fee for SSC OTR

• Exam-specific application fees apply (e.g., INR 100 for general category for exams like SSC CGL, exemptions for SC/ST, women, PwBD, and ex-servicemen)

Eligibility:

• No specific age or educational criteria for OTR registration

• Candidates must have a valid Aadhaar number; alternative IDs (e.g., PAN, Voter ID, Passport) accepted if Aadhaar is unavailable

• Eligibility varies by SSC exam (e.g., graduation for CGL, 10+2 for CHSL)

Steps to Complete Aadhaar-Enabled OTR:

• Visit ssc.gov.in and click “Register Now” under the login section.

• Enter personal details, including name, date of birth, and Aadhaar number (or alternative ID).

• Provide contact information (valid email ID and mobile number) for OTP verification.

• Upload scanned copies of a passport-sized photograph and signature as per SSC specifications.

• Verify details, submit the form, and note the generated registration ID and password for future logins.

• Log in with credentials to apply for desired SSC exams, adding exam-specific details as needed.
