SSC's New 'Fix-Float' Rule: Second Chance for Preferred Govt Jobs

• Staff Selection Commission (SSC) introduces a 'Fix-Float' rule to make recruitment more transparent and effective.
• Candidates will get options to 'fix' (accept current post/location) or 'float' (wait for a better post/location based on merit).
• The system aims to reduce vacant government jobs, as 20-30% of selected candidates often do not join, as seen in exams like CGL.
• Sliding rounds will be conducted for 'float' candidates if posts remain vacant, similar to university counseling.
• This new rule benefits candidates by offering better choices and aims to fill 90-95% of government posts.
