SSC CPO 2020 Exam Application: Guidance for Postponed Final Year Exams

Dear Aspirants,

This article aims to clarify a specific concern regarding the SSC CPO (Combined Provident Fund Exam) 2020 application, particularly for candidates whose final year exams have been postponed due to the ongoing pandemic and the unknown status of their examinations.

Understanding the Educational Qualification Requirement

According to the notification on the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) website, the eligibility criteria for the SSC CPO 2020 includes the following stipulation:

“7.4. Candidates who have not yet acquired but will acquire the educational qualification and produce documentary evidence from the Board/ University in support thereof as on 01-01-2021 will also be eligible.”

This means that if your final year exams are postponed, you can still apply for the SSC CPO 2020, provided you can produce the necessary documentary evidence from your exam board or university proving that your eligibility will be met by the specified date.

Documentary Evidence and Application Process

To successfully apply for the SSC CPO 2020, you must adhere to the following steps:

Register for the Exam: Visit the official SSC CPO 2020 website and fill out the application form. Submit the Application Fee: Pay the required fee as per the guidelines provided on the website. Prepare Your Documentation: Gather the necessary documents, which may include your transcript, admission letter, or any other relevant certificates from your university or exam board. File Your Application: Attach the required documents and submit your application within the specified deadline.

It is important to note that you must produce the documentary evidence to support your claim of achieving the educational qualification by the specified date, which is January 1, 2021. Failure to provide this evidence may result in your application being deemed invalid.

Extension of Cut-off Dates

The SSC may further extend the cut-off date in view of the pandemic crisis. Therefore, it is advisable to keep a close eye on the official SSC website for any updates or additional information. While the current date to meet the qualification is January 1, 2021, the chance of an extension is high due to the unprecedented situation.

Act with agility and make the most of any additional time you might be given to ensure that your application is not impacted adversely. Keep a copy of all your documentation and be prepared to send it in electronic form as the SSC prefers digital submission whenever possible.

Conclusion and Final Words of Advice

In conclusion, if your final year exams are still postponed, you have a chance to apply for the SSC CPO 2020. However, you must ensure that you provide the required documentary evidence and apply before the specified deadline. Keeping an updated eye on the SSC website and being proactive in managing your application process will help you increase your chances of success.

Best of luck to all the aspirants!
