SSC Recruitment Aadhaar Based Verification One Time Registration - Get Details
SSC Aadhaar-Based OTR Policy 2025 – One Time Registration Made Simpler. The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has introduced a revised Aadhaar policy to enhance identity verification during its recruitment examinations. The new Aadhaar-based One Time Registration (OTR) framework ensures greater convenience, faster processing, and better integrity of the recruitment process.
What is Aadhaar-Based OTR?
The Aadhaar-based OTR is an optional feature that allows candidates to authenticate their identity using Aadhaar at various stages of the recruitment cycle. This modernized process supports faster entry, minimal physical verification, and fewer document checks for candidates who opt-in.
Aadhaar Authentication Will Be Used In
- OTR (One Time Registration) – Aadhaar OTP verification
- Application Submission – Aadhaar Face Authentication
- Exam Day Verification – Biometric (fingerprint/iris) verification
- Physical Tests & Medical – Aadhaar-based verification
- Document Verification & Final Joining
Note: Aadhaar number is not stored locally by SSC. It is used only for real-time UIDAI authentication.
Benefits for Aadhaar Opt-In Candidates:
- Faster access at exam venues
- Fewer procedural checks
- No rejection due to minor photo/signature mismatches
- Relaxed reporting time: Entry allowed close to gate closing time
- What if You Don’t Use Aadhaar?
- Candidates who do not opt for Aadhaar must upload supporting documents for:
- Name, Father’s Name, Gender
- Date of Birth, Address, Photograph
Accepted Documents: PAN, Passport, Voter ID, Driving License, Birth Certificate, School Certificate, Utility Bill, Rent Agreement, Bank Passbook, etc.
Such candidates must report 2 hours before gate closure for manual verification.
Aadhaar for Scribes and Exam Staff
Even scribes and examination personnel will be verified via Aadhaar to ensure transparency and avoid repeated usage of same individuals across exams.
Final Notes:
Aadhaar usage is voluntary but highly recommended
Misrepresentation or fake documents will lead to disqualification
SSC may revise the policy as per government guidelines
