The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Multi Tasking Staff (MTS) is a non-gazetted, Group C posts in various departments under the central services across the country. According to the latest central service rules, the posts of Sr. Gestetner Operator, Daftry, Library Attendant, Messenger-cum-Daftry, Jamadar (Senior Peon), Peon, Examination Work Attendant, Chowkidar, Farash and Safai Karamchari have been redesignated as Multi Tasking Staff. If you have passed Matriculations (SSLC) and your age is between 18 years and 27 years, then you are eligible towards these posts. The Pay-scale of Multi Tasking Staff follows Pay Band-1 (Rs 5200-20200) + Grade Pay Rs 1800, (Revised Pay Scale after 7th Central Pay Commission. So you can have a starting salary of Rs. 20245 even from the first month of your service. Every year the SSC MTS Cut off scores is rising steadily as the competition is becoming solid.
In previous years, the commission used to prepare the cut-off scores based on the state or Union Territory to which the candidates have applied and the categories. But now the preliminary results are classified to two different age groups; 18- 25 years, and 18 years to 27 years and then into different categories. SSC will use the normalised marks to determine the cut-off scores after the preliminary tests. Since the Descriptive Paper is only of qualifying nature, marks scored by the candidates in Paper-II will be used to decide merit in case more than one candidate score equal normalized marks in Paper-I.
SSC MTS Cut-off Scores
The vacancies for MTS are in two age groups i.e.
- 18 to 25 years and
- 18 to 27 years,
so in the final result, there will be separate age group-wise, State/ UT-wise and category-wise cut-offs. Since the preliminary tests are occurring in different shifts across weeks, the commission will use the normalized score for deciding the cut-off score. Marks scored by candidates in Paper-I will be normalized by using the formula published by the Commission and such normalized scores will be used to determine final merit and cut-off marks. Candidates can get their raw score only after the final results. The candidate’s marks in the descriptive paper (Paper-II) will be used to decide merit in case more than one candidate score equal normalized marks in the preliminary written test.
