Hi, One of my friend has completed his 8th Std from village. Due to some reasons he did not complete his education further. Now he wants to complete the same. Is it possible to give SSC exam directly after 8th Std. Please reply

SSC stands for Staff Selection Commission.

It conducts entrance exam at 10+2 level and bachelor's degree level.

1. SSC CHSL at 10+2 level.

2. SSC CGL at bachelor's degree.

You can see that minimum qualification is 10+2 passed from a recognized board. Candidate must need to complete 10+2 to appear for SSC CHSL exam, you can not apply for exam at 8th standard level.

No, the candidate are not eligible for any of the SSC exam just having a qualification of 8th class only. For the SSC exam a candidate must have a qualification of a graduation or any bachelor's degree from a recognized university. Some of the exam of SSC you want a minimum qualification of intermediate, so you must have a minimum qualification of intermediate to appear for the SSC exam. With your 8th class qualification you are not eligible for any of the exam. For civil services exam you must have 10th class qualification minimum.

No, for your information let me tell you that there is no any procedure of writing SSC examination after 8th standard. You are also not fulfilling age criteria for the given examination.

One can write SSC exam only after passing higher secondary examination.

Eligibility criteria:-

Candidate must be a holder of intermediate degree with at least 60% aggregate for general category.

Candidate that are under reserved category get relaxation in percentage criteria.

Candidate age must be from 18 to 28 years.

Eligibility criteria for graduation level exams:-

Candidate must be a holder of graduation degree with a recognized university. There is no any requirement of minimum percentage.

Candidate age must be from 21 to 30 years.

Appearing candidates are not eligible.

Sorry ,you are not eligible to appear in Staff Selection Commission directly after class 8th because minimum qualification required to appear in this exam is graduation degree from recognised University with at least 50% marks.
So you need to complete your graduation degree first then only you can appear in this exam.

According to my point of view you are not eligible to appear in SSC exam after completion of 8th class because minimum qualification needed is graduation in any discipline from recognise this university with at least 50% marks.

As per my point of view it is not possible to appear in SSC exam after 8th class because it is compulsory to do graduation to appear in the exam. Age required to SSC exam is 21 to 30 and relaxation is given to SC ST category that is equal to 5 years and for OBS it is 3 years.

No, you can't apply for SSC exam after 8th standard.

The minimum educational qualification required for SSC exam is 10th standard from a recognized university.

Your age should be 18 to 27 years.

SSC stands for Senior Secondary Certificate and no he is not eligible to appear for examination directly after the 8th standard.

So, you need to first pursue 10th ( All India Senior Secondary Examination ) then after qualifying in examination become eligible to pursue 10+2 ( All India Senior Secondary Certificate ).

Without 10th standard you are not eligible to get admission in 11th and appear for 10+2 to board examination.
