What is SSC OTR (One Time Registration)?
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has introduced the One Time Registration (OTR) system on its new official website. SSC OTR is a permanent registration portal that allows candidates to enter their personal, educational, and contact details once. This registration remains valid for all future SSC recruitments, including SSC CGL, SSC CHSL, SSC GD, SSC MTS, and others.
Why is SSC OTR Mandatory for 2026-2027 Exams?
Candidates preparing for government exams must complete the OTR process because:
Saves Time: You do not need to fill in basic details repeatedly for different exam notifications.
Error Prevention: One-time verification reduces the risk of spelling errors or wrong information in official applications.
Mandatory Requirement: The old registration numbers are no longer valid. All aspirants must create a new OTR account on the new portal.
