💡 Expert Tip

Candidates should be extremely careful while completing the One-Time Registration (OTR) and live photograph capture on the new SSC portal. Ensure you are in a well-lit environment and look straight into the camera without spectacles or caps; uploading old or pre-existing photos will result in instant rejection. During Paper-I, keep the 0.25 negative marking in mind. Since Paper-II is descriptive and heavily tests your translation skills, start reading bilingual editorials daily to build a robust vocabulary.
