- SSC’s new Candidate Score Disclosure Scheme shares scores of non-recommended candidates to help increase employment opportunities.
- The scheme includes detailed candidate data accessible to public sector bodies, with an option to opt-out for privacy.
- It applies to select SSC exams from November 2024, with disclosed data available for one year to help employers find qualified talent.
Staff Selection Commission Candidate Score Disclosure Scheme is an important step toward clarity and inclusiveness in India’s public sector recruitment. This scheme, recently started by the SSC, aims to help non-recommended candidates by making their scores and key details available to potential public sector employers. By adopting this scheme, the government supports a more open recruitment system, encouraging more chances for candidates who have passed exams but were not finally selected.
Understanding the SSC Candidate Score Disclosure Scheme
The scheme offers score transparency specifically for candidates who took SSC exams but did not make the final selection list. It creates a detailed database that possible employers in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), autonomous bodies, and government agencies can access. This system helps find qualified professionals beyond the initial recruitment results, improving job opportunities for many deserving candidates.

Objectives and Benefits of the Scheme
The main goal of this scheme is to build a clear recruitment system across government bodies. By publicly sharing candidate data, the SSC aims to increase public sector employment while giving candidates a chance to show their skills to a wider audience. The scheme also matches the Department of Personnel and Training’s (DoPT) strategy to use all available talent well.
Who Can Participate and How Opt-Out Works
Only candidates who clear SSC exams but aren’t recommended for final selection are included. Participation is voluntary: candidates must opt-in during the application to have their data shared. To respect privacy, an opt-out option lets candidates keep their details private if they choose. This makes sure personal information is shared only when candidates agree.
Details Shared Under the Disclosure Scheme
The SSC will share several details about candidates, including:
- Name
- Father’s or husband’s name
- Date of birth
- Category
- Gender
- Educational qualifications
- Total marks obtained
- Merit position
- Full postal address
- Email ID
This information will be organized by roll number and available both on the SSC official website and a dedicated government portal. However, data will be available for only one year from the date of disclosure, keeping it current and protecting privacy.
Accessing and Using the Candidate Data for Employment
Employers, especially government departments and PSUs, can access the database to view eligible candidates’ profiles in detail. Job seekers gain more visibility beyond the initial selection process. However, recruiters must verify the details on their own before making any hiring decisions to keep trust and fairness in recruitment.
Scope and Limitations of the Scheme
This scheme applies only to specific SSC competitive exams declared from November 2024 onwards. It does not include Selection Posts Exams. Also, the information shared about non-recommended candidates is limited to up to twice the number of notified vacancies to keep things practical and clear. Candidates’ data remains public only for one year, and privacy options continue to be important.
With this scheme, the Staff Selection Commission Candidate Score Disclosure Scheme opens a promising way to improve employability and clarity for skilled candidates, ultimately strengthening India’s public sector workforce.
