🎓 Essential Qualification (EQ)

As per Advertisement Notice No. Phase-XIII/2025/Selection Posts dated 02.06.2025, the Essential Qualifications for Post Category ER15725 (Laboratory Attendant) are:

1. Matriculation or equivalent from a recognized Board.
2. One year training certificate in Laboratory technique AND animal care from a recognized Institute/Laboratory.

Important Note: Both qualifications are mandatory. Candidates possessing only Matriculation without the 1-year training certificate in Laboratory technique & animal care are NOT eligible. This is precisely the reason a vast majority of the 238 not-eligible candidates were rejected — "Educational Qualification not in the relevant field."

Congratulations to the eligible candidates! Your documents have been found in order during preliminary scrutiny. Stay tuned for further communication from SSC ER.

❌ Main Reasons for Rejection

The 238 candidates declared not eligible fall under two broad categories of rejection:

1️⃣ Educational Qualification Not in the Relevant Field

The single largest reason for rejection — affecting nearly 170 candidates — is that the educational qualification submitted is not in the relevant field. This typically means candidates submitted only Matriculation/10th certificate or unrelated degrees (B.A., B.Sc., B.Com., etc.) WITHOUT the mandatory 1-year training certificate in Laboratory technique and animal care from a recognized institute.

Many candidates assumed that any science background or general degree would suffice — this is incorrect. The post specifically requires hands-on training in laboratory technique AND animal care, which is a niche qualification typically offered by select polytechnics, ITIs, and certified veterinary/medical training centres.

2️⃣ Documents Not Received

Approximately 68 candidates have been rejected because they did not upload their supporting documents on the SSC online portal (https://ssc.gov.in) within the stipulated deadline of 03 March 2026. Despite qualifying provisionally in the CBM examination, these candidates failed to complete the document submission process, leading to automatic disqualification.

📧 How to Submit Objection / Grievance — Step-by-Step

If you believe you have been wrongly declared not eligible, follow these steps to submit your grievance/representation:

Step 1: Prepare Your Representation Letter

• Date of Birth proof
• Acknowledgement of original document upload

Step 3: Send Email

📝 Conclusion

The release of the Preliminary Scrutiny Status for the post of Laboratory Attendant at Institute of Serology (Post Code ER15725) under SSC Phase-XIII/2025 marks a critical stage in the recruitment process. With only 6 out of 244 candidates declared eligible, the figures highlight how strictly SSC scrutinises Essential Qualifications — particularly the niche requirement of a 1-year training certificate in Laboratory technique and animal care. Candidates who appeared with only generalist degrees (without the lab/animal care training) had little chance of clearing scrutiny.

For the 238 not-eligible candidates, this is not the end of the road — those who genuinely possess valid Essential Qualification documents (and can substantiate the same with proof) have a narrow but valuable window until 04 June 2026 (23:00 hours) to file a grievance. Send your representation to wm.serology-hfw@gov.in with a copy to recttsscer.wb-dopt@gov.in, attaching all self-attested supporting documents along with your Roll Number, Registration Number, and Post Code.
