SSC GD Constable 2018: This is how the official - old - SSC website www.ssc.nic.in is responding
54,953 General Duty (GD) constable recruitment news was well received by the job aspirants in the country, but, to their surprise, two websites – www.ssc.nic.in and www.ssconline.nic.in – which were listed as the registration portals for the recruitment are not responding from yesterday. SSC was set to start the registration process yesterday for this SSC GD Constable recruitment. When we tried to open the official website – www.ssc.nic.in --, which hosts all the notification, results and application details of SSC recruitment is now asking for username and password and the new website, https://ssc.nic.in/ was not working properly.
According to the SSC GD Constable notification, the recruitment exam will be computer based and the Commission has not fixed a date for it.
After not being able to register for this massive recruitment, aspirants took their angst to social media.
