The re-exam is only for candidates impacted by the fire incident at the Mumbai centre on September 26. All other centres across India completed the exam successfully.
Why This Re-Exam Matters
The original exam saw over 28 lakh applicants. Out of these, 13.5 lakh candidates appeared across 255 centres in 126 cities. But due to the unexpected fire in Mumbai, many missed their chance. SSC’s decision to hold a re-test shows their commitment to fairness and transparency.
