SSC CHSL Eligibility Criteria 2019 for LDC, DEO and Other Posts, Check here Age Limit, Educational qualification and Nationality in detail

There are generally very few government job opportunities for candidates who have only completed their higher secondary level education. But there are still some excellent job opportunities available to such candidates through the Combined Higher Secondary Level (10+2) Examination (CHSL) conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC).

Every year SSC conducts the Combined Higher Secondary Level (10+2) Examination for the recruitment of interested candidates for the position of Data Entry Operator (DEO), Lower Division Clerk (LDS), Postal Assistant and Sorting Assistant, and Court Clerk. Selected candidates are posted at various ministries, departments and organisations operating under the Government of India.

SSC specifies eligibility criteria for each position to be filled under the CHSL Exam, and it is mandatory for the interested candidates to fulfil the complete eligibility criteria to be eligible for the CHSL exam. Under no circumstances are candidates given any relaxation in the eligibility criteria, other than those mentioned in the recruitment advertisement.

Moreover, candidates must ensure that they meet the eligibility criteria before even applying for the vacancies as otherwise it will be a futile exercise.
