Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use the self slot selection option on the SSC candidate portal:

Step 1: Visit the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in, and log in using your registration number and password. The portal for slot selection will remain open from October 22 to October 28.

Step 2: After logging in, candidates will find the option to “Choose Exam City, Date & Shift.” Click on this tab to proceed.

Step 3: Candidates will see three cities displayed — the same ones they had selected at the time of application. Based on availability, the portal will show available slots (date and shift) for these cities.

Select your preferred exam city, date, and shift from the available options. For candidates opting for regional language exams, the Commission stated that the available slots may be fewer.

Step 4: If all slots in the three previously chosen cities are filled, the portal will show a list of alternative cities where slots are still available. Candidates can choose one of these, and the Commission will allocate the date and shift on a best-effort basis.

Step 5: Final Confirmation – once a candidate confirms their slot selection, no further changes will be permitted. Candidates are advised to carefully review their selected date, shift, and city before final submission.

Note that the SSC has clarified that if a candidate does not exercise this option between October 22 and October 28, the SSC will interpret it as a decision not to appear for the examination.
