How to Apply a SSC MTS and Havaldar Application 2025
Applications must be submitted exclusively in online mode via the new SSC Headquarters website, https://ssc.gov.in, or through the mySSC mobile application, which is available for download from the Google Play Store.

All candidates intending to apply in response to this Notice and who have not yet generated their One-Time Registration (OTR) on the new website (https://ssc.gov.in) must do so, as the previous OTR created on the old website (https://ssc.nic.in) will not be applicable to the new site. After generating the OTR, candidates may proceed to complete their application for the examination. Once an OTR is created on the new website, it will remain valid for all examinations applied for on that site. Detailed instructions for OTR can be found in Annexure-III of this Notice.
Candidates are encouraged to choose Aadhaar Based Authentication, in accordance with the Aadhaar Policy published on the Commission’s website, while completing their OTR process. Applications from candidates who select Aadhaar Authentication will not be rejected on the basis that the photograph and/or signature uploaded do not meet the prescribed standards. Such candidates will not need to present recent color photographs or original valid Photo Identity proof for entry to the examination venue during the Computer Based Examination.
Candidates do not need to possess a pre-existing photograph of themselves when applying. The application module is specifically designed to take a photograph of the candidate while they are completing the application form. To facilitate this, the candidate must stand or sit in front of the camera when prompted by the application module and adhere to the following instructions for capturing live photographs:
- Locate a well-lit area with a plain background.
- Ensure that the camera is positioned at eye level prior to taking the photo.
- Position oneself directly in front of the camera and maintain a straight gaze.
- Confirm that the face is entirely within the designated area outlined by the camera, ensuring it is neither too close nor too far.
- The face should be fully visible, with no part extending beyond the area specified by the camera.
- The candidate must refrain from wearing a cap, mask, glasses or spectacles, or earphones/headphones while taking the photo.
The candidate’s appearance during the examination must match the photograph submitted with the application form. Candidates should ensure that the captured photograph is clear, free of caps or spectacles, and presents a full-frontal view. Applications containing photographs that do not comply with these instructions are subject to rejection. Under no circumstances should candidates submit photographs of their pre-existing images. Any applications featuring pre-existing photographs will be rejected. However, applications submitted through the Aadhaar Based Authentication process will not be rejected on these grounds.
Candidates must upload a scanned signature in JPEG or JPG format, with a file size between 10 to 20 KB. The signature’s dimensions should be approximately 6.0 cm in width and 2.0 cm in height. Applications that include inappropriate, blurred, or miniature photographs or signatures that do not meet the specified requirements will be summarily rejected. Nevertheless, applications submitted through the Aadhaar Based Authentication process will not be affected by these stipulations.
