SSC cuts recruitment time in half by replacing exams with digital tests and axing interviews

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has announced sweeping reforms to speed up government hiring. Exams will now be fully computer-based, interviews eliminated, and document verification streamlined. With descriptive papers removed and skill tests conducted nationwide, recruitment cycles have been cut from 15–18 months to 6–10 months, promising faster appointments and a more efficient process for candidates.
