Self-Slot Selection Process Begins
For the first time, SSC is letting students choose their own exam slots. This means you can pick the city where you want to take the exam, the exact date, and even the shift (morning or afternoon). This process started on October 22, 2025 , and will close on October 28, 2025 . It is important to complete this step within this one-week window. This new system aims to give students more comfort and flexibility.
How to Select Your Exam Slot
Follow these simple steps to choose your preferred exam city, date, and shift for the SSC CHSL 2025 Tier-I exam:
- Go to the official SSC website: ssc.gov.in .
- Find and click on the 'Login' section.
- Enter your registration number and password to log in to your account.
- Look for a link that says 'Choose Exam City, Date & Shift' or similar. Click on it.
- The screen will show you available dates, shifts, and cities based on the choices you made when you first filled your application form.
- From the list, pick the date, shift, and city that works best for you.
- Review your selection carefully.
- Confirm your choice and submit it.
Important Points About Slot Selection
Students must be very careful while choosing their exam slot. Once you confirm and submit your selection, you cannot change it. The SSC will not accept any requests to change the exam city, date, or shift later. Here are some other important points to remember:
- Limited Choices: If you chose to take the exam in a regional language, your choices for dates and shifts might be fewer.
- City Full: If all slots in your preferred cities are already full, the system will show you a list of other available cities. You must choose one from these options.
- Choose Wisely: This selection is final. Make sure to pick a slot that you are certain about.
The SSC has introduced this self-slot selection to make the exam process smoother for students. Make sure to complete this process before the deadline of October 28, 2025 , to avoid any issues.
