2. Enhanced Aadhaar Authentication (Para 6 & 7)

The commission has made Aadhaar-based biometric authentication more stringent.
OTP Verification: Candidates must carry the mobile number registered in their application form to receive the Aadhaar OTP.
Even non-Aadhaar candidates or those who bypassed Aadhaar during application must now produce their Original Aadhaar Card during identity verification.
If a candidate’s biometric or face authentication fails (matched against the photo taken during the exam), their candidature may be cancelled immediately.

What is the SSC Sliding Mechanism? (Fix vs. Float)

The sliding mechanism is a strategic reform to ensure that no government post remains vacant due to non-joining or absenteeism.
First Round of Tentative Allocation (FRTA): Candidates receive an initial post based on merit and preference.

• The "FIX" Option: If the candidate is satisfied with their FRTA post, they will select FIX. Their seat is secured, and they will not be considered for any further upgrades.
• The "FLOAT" Option: If a candidate wishes to be considered for a higher-preference post (if a vacancy arises from an absentee), select FLOAT.
• Note: If candidates are upgraded under FLOAT candidates must join the new post. Failure to do so will result in losing both the initial and the upgraded post.
• Important Instructions for Candidates
• Candidates must book their IV slot (Date, Shift, and Venue) on the SSC portal. Once booked, this cannot be changed.
• Candidates must ensure that their Aadhaar is not in 'Locked' status, as this will prevent successful biometric authentication.
• Failure to report at the designated venue on time will lead to the cancellation of their candidature.
