The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has issued a stringent warning against malpractices in its recruitment examinations, warning of disciplinary and legal actions against those involved.

According to an official notice, acts like sharing, reproducing, or storing exam content in any form, either verbally or electronically, will be deemed serious misconduct and lead to disqualification. Additionally, removing rough papers from exam centers or unauthorized possession of test materials will incur similar repercussions.

The SSC notice, dated September 10, highlighted that some individuals are participating in these activities via social media platforms such as YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. Such cases will be reported to the police if necessary. In a related development, the Centre has given the SSC the green light to use Aadhaar-based authentication for candidate verification.
