All About SSC MTS
The Staff Selection Commission conducts the SSC MTS (Multi Tasking Staff) Examination for recruitment of eligible candidates into various Group C non-technical posts (and Havaldar posts in the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs / Central Bureau of Narcotics) in central government departments, ministries and organizations. The exam offers a great opportunity for matriculation-qualified candidates to enter central government service, with stable pay, allowances, and potential career growth.
The preparation involves understanding the exam pattern, familiarising with the syllabus, practicing mock tests and previous year question papers, and keeping up with current affairs and general knowledge. Because the exam targets 10th-pass level candidates, the focus is on speed, accuracy, and conceptual clarity rather than extremely advanced subjects.
Aspirants are advised to regularly check official notifications, monitor eligibility criteria updates, practice sectional tests, attempt full-length mocks, and maintain consistency in their preparation. A clear plan, systematic revision and smart strategy will significantly enhance the chances of success in SSC MTS.
