Criteria for Allotting Exam Centers for SSC CHSL Exam

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) follows a set of criteria for allotting exam centers for the SSC CHSL (Combined Higher Secondary Level) Exam. These criteria ensure fairness and convenience for all the candidates appearing for the exam. Below are the details of the criteria:

1. Preferences filled by the candidates:
- During the application process, candidates are required to fill their preferences for exam centers.
- They can choose their preferred exam centers from the list of available options.
- Based on the preferences provided by the candidates, the exam centers are allotted.

2. Availability of exam centers:
- The availability of exam centers plays a crucial role in the allotment process.
- The SSC ensures that there are sufficient exam centers in different cities and regions to accommodate the candidates.
- The exam centers are distributed across various cities and towns to cater to the candidates from different geographical locations.

3. Number of candidates in a particular region:
- The number of candidates applying for the SSC CHSL Exam in a particular region also affects the allotment of exam centers.
- If the number of candidates is high in a specific region, more exam centers are allotted to that region to accommodate the candidates.
- This ensures that there is an equitable distribution of exam centers based on the number of candidates in each region.

4. Proximity to the candidate's location:
- The SSC considers the proximity of the exam centers to the candidate's location while allotting them.
- Efforts are made to assign exam centers that are closer to the candidate's residence or the location they have indicated as their preferred center.
- This is done to minimize travel inconvenience for the candidates and to ensure their ease and convenience during the examination.

5. Random allocation:
- In some cases, when the preferences filled by the candidates cannot be accommodated due to various factors, the SSC may resort to random allocation of exam centers.
- This is done to ensure that all candidates have an equal chance of getting their exam centers allotted, even if their preferred choices are not available.

Overall, the allotment of exam centers for the SSC CHSL Exam is done based on the preferences filled by the candidates, availability of exam centers, number of candidates in a particular region, proximity to the candidate's location, and random allocation if required. The aim is to provide a fair and convenient examination experience for all the candidates participating in the SSC CHSL Exam.
