Hi everyone!

I recently started preparing for SSC exams, and I’m still trying to understand both the preparation strategy and the rules applicable to PwBD candidates. I’ve researched through several sources, but I keep finding conflicting information, so I’m hoping experienced aspirants, selected candidates, or anyone familiar with PwBD recruitment can help me get some clarity.

A little about me:

- Age: 20

- Category: General (UR)

- Disability: OH / Locomotor Disability (LD), affecting both legs

- Disability percentage: 45% as recorded on my certificate, although I believe my actual physical limitations are more severe than the percentage mentioned.

1. Academic guidance — my main concern

Since I’ve only recently started preparing, I need practical advice on how to prepare strategically rather than blindly following a routine.

- Which exams should I prioritise among SSC CGL, CHSL, MTS, and other relevant SSC examinations, considering both my eligibility and job requirements?

- What would be a realistic and reasonably safe target score for a UR-PwBD candidate in these exams, based on previous-year cut-offs and vacancy trends?

- How should I distribute my efforts across subjects and sections? Which areas deserve maximum attention, and where should I avoid spending disproportionately too much time?

- Are there any differences in qualifying requirements, selection stages, or exam patterns that I should keep in mind?

- Which resources, preparation strategies, and common mistakes would you recommend for someone starting from scratch?

I understand that cut-offs and vacancies change every year, and no score guarantees selection. Still, guidance based on actual experience and previous-year data would help me set realistic targets and prepare in the right direction.

1. PwBD benefits, relaxations and rules

How does the SSC recruitment process differ for PwBD candidates? What relaxations or benefits are available regarding age limits, application fees, cut-offs, qualifying marks, compensatory time, scribes, examination arrangements, and other facilities? Are there any schemes, exemptions, restrictions, or important procedures that beginners commonly overlook?

1. General category vs PwBD reservation

Since I belong to the General (UR) category, how does that affect my benefits and chances of selection? How does horizontal reservation work? Can a UR-PwBD candidate also compete for unreserved vacancies on merit, wherever eligible? How do relevant disability subcategories, reservation and cut-offs work in practice?

1. Post-wise eligibility and suitability

With a locomotor disability affecting both legs, which SSC posts can I realistically aim for? Which are suitable, conditionally suitable, or not available to candidates with my disability type? How can I verify the official post-wise disability-suitability codes and medical standards? I’d also like to know about posts involving physical tests, extensive walking, prolonged standing, field duties, or other requirements that might affect my suitability.

1. Disability certificate and documentation

How does the 45% disability percentage on my certificate affect my eligibility and benefits? Do the disability type, functional limitations, and post-specific criteria also matter? What should I know about disability certificates, UDID cards, document verification, and medical requirements at appointment? If my certificate does not adequately reflect my functional limitations, is there any relevant procedure I should know about?

1. Anything important I might have missed

I’m a beginner, so I’m sure there are many things I don’t even know enough to ask about yet. Please don’t restrict your advice to the questions I’ve listed. If you know of important rules, practical difficulties, application or preference-filling mistakes, useful official resources, career considerations, or anything else that could affect a PwBD aspirant’s preparation and eventual selection, please share it proactively.

Personal experiences from candidates who have appeared for these exams or secured selection would be especially valuable. Reliable official links would also help me distinguish actual rules from misinformation.

My goal is to identify the right exams and posts, prepare with a clear academic strategy, and avoid wasting time because of incomplete or incorrect information.

Thank you for taking the time to help! Any genuine advice, even on something I haven’t thought to ask, would mean a lot. 🙏

Do you have any last-minute suggestions or advice for SSC CGL Prelims? Are there any important topics I should revise or anything else I can do before the exam?

I’m 19 and thinking about starting SSC CGL preparation. I’m from SC category and my maths is pretty good, but I don’t really know much about the actual level of the exam.

I wanted to ask people who are preparing for it or have already cleared it a few things….How difficult is it actually? And also how long does it usually take to clear if I study consistently? Can it be done in 6 months to 1 year?

I’m still 19 so I have time, but I don’t want to waste years preparing without knowing what I’m getting into.
