SSC UFM rule for CGL & CHSL exams: Know here in detail
Given below is all you need to know about the SSC UFM rule for CGL and CHSL descriptive exams.
SSC CGL 2021-22 exam was notified on December 23, 2021. The candidates should read and understand the Unfair Means (UFM) to avoid any rejection. SSC UFM rule was not described in detail in the official notification and the candidates need to know it in detail because, in recent years, various candidates were debarred from the exam process due to the UFM rules even some of them went to Court but to no avail. In this article, we will throw some light on what exactly the UFM rule is, how it is affecting SSC CGL and CHSL aspirants and how candidates can avoid getting their marks deducted due to the rule.
What is UFM Rule?
UFM is a set of rules that if candidates do not comply with are awarded zero marks in the examination. The UFM rules are applicable in the descriptive papers of mainly SSC CGL and SSC CHSL exams. The various UFM rules that can lead to disqualification in the exam include the following:
- No personal information is allowed: The candidates should understand that no personal information such as name, roll number, mobile number, address and likes is allowed in the descriptive paper. It means the candidates should not write anything which can be considered as personal identity. This is the reason that now the question in the paper mention the sender's name and address for male and female candidates. In case the candidate does so, only zero marks will be awarded to the candidates and his or her candidature will be rejected for that exam.
- Including extra information: If candidates include any extra information than what they are given in the exam, they are awarded zero marks. For instance, if in the paper it is stated that a candidate’s name is Rahul, a resident of Rohini, then s/he should include only this much information in the letter. The candidate cannot add any other details like Rahul, 14-B, Sector-7, Rohini. If s/he does, it is being considered as Unfair Means and the candidate is given zero marks.
- Doing careless mistakes: Candidates must not write anything extra on the answer sheet other than what they are told by the invigilator or what is mentioned in the general instructions of the exam. If by mistake a candidate fills incorrect details or writes them at the wrong place then it is considered as UFM which leads to disqualification in the paper.
- Doing rough work on the answer sheet: Some candidates do rough work at the back of the answer sheet or put stray marks, which must be strictly avoided as it is considered Unfair Means.
- Not filling proper details in response sheet: Missing out filling essential details such as roll number, signature, etc. is considered UFM and leads to disqualification in the paper.
- Crossing the word limit: In case, candidates cross the word limit of the letter or the essay that they have been given to write, it can lead to loss of marks. However, candidates might not be disqualified or given zero marks in such a case.
- Write more than one word in one block: As per the general instructions in the exam, candidates must write only one word in one block. Not following the guideline can lead to the loss of some marks in the exam. Such a mistake, however, does not lead to disqualification.
The SSC UFM rule had put the future of thousands and lakhs of SSC CGL and CHSL aspirants in dark. This is because Staff Selection Commission takes about two to three years to complete an examination process. An aspirant prepares for the SSC exam (including all the stages) for three to four years. Candidates are finding it unfair on the part of the commission that despite scoring good marks in tier-I exam and performing well in tier-II papers they are being rejected over UFM rule.
