How to fix:

  1. Try different browser (Chrome → Firefox → Safari → Edge)
  2. Clear cache: Ctrl+Shift+Del (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+Del (Mac)
  3. Turn off WiFi, use mobile data instead
  4. Try again at 2 AM (lowest server traffic)
  5. Check SSC's Twitter (@SSC_Official) for maintenance updates

❌ Problem 2: "Invalid Credentials" Error

What you see: "Registration Number or Password incorrect"

How to fix:

◾️Real Scenarios: What Can Go Wrong

Scenario 1: "My Exam Centre Is in a Different City"

Example: Small-town Gujarat candidate → centre assigned in Kolkata (2,000 km)

Your options:

Option A: Request Centre Change (rarely approved)
  • Email SSC with proof of residence + hardship reason
  • Approval rate: ~10-20% (unlikely but try)
  • Response time: 5-7 days
Option B: Plan the Journey (Realistic & Recommended)
  • Book train/flight immediately – prices will rise
  • Find budget accommodation near the centre
  • Reach the city 1 day before exam
  • Visit the centre a day prior to avoid confusion
  • Cost estimate: ₹2,000-4,000 for travel + ₹1,500-2,000 for 2-3 nights accommodation
💡 Real candidate experience:
"Got Mumbai (from Pune). Saw centre on admit card, booked ₹500 bus, ₹800/night hostel, visited centre day before, scored 82/100. Best decision ever."

Scenario 2: "My Name Is Spelled Wrong on Admit Card"

Example: Your name "Rajesh Kumar" shows as "Rajash Kumar"

If small typo (like above):
  • Don't panic. Usually acceptable if Aadhaar matches.
  • Carry original ID proof on exam day – they'll verify.
  • Email SSC about the issue as documentation.
If completely wrong (e.g., "Rajesh" vs "Ramesh"):
  • Email SSC immediately with proof documents.
  • Follow up after 5 days if no response.
  • On exam day: carry original ID and a copy of your email to the centre in-charge.

◾️Documents You'll Need on Exam Day

✅ Must-Have Documents

  • Admit Card (original printout – downloaded now)
  • Original ID Proof: Aadhaar / Passport / Voter ID (same as registration)
  • Photocopy of ID (at least 1)
  • Passport-size Photo (4x6 cm, same as application)
  • Black Ballpoint Pen (bring 2 backups)

❌ Strictly Prohibited

  • Mobile phone (serious — candidature can be cancelled)
  • Smartwatch / Fitness tracker
  • Calculator / Pen drive
  • Any written notes
  • Headphones / Earbuds
  • Any electronic device
🚨 Real story warning:
"Candidate brought phone 'just to check time.' Security found it. Not allowed to take exam. 6 months of prep = wasted."
Start gathering documents now. Don't scramble on exam morning.
