📌 Stage 1: Preliminary Scrutiny (24 June 2026)

On 24 June 2026, the SSC ER published the preliminary scrutiny status of all candidates who had provisionally qualified in the Computer Based Mode (CBM) Examination for Phase XIII/2025 Selection Post. Candidates were given a critical window to review this status. If they believed they had been incorrectly marked as "Not Eligible" or "Rejected," they were invited to submit formal representations with supporting documents.

📌 Stage 2: Grievance Window (Closed 04 July 2026)

Candidates who disagreed with the preliminary decision had until 04 July 2026 (23:00 hours) to submit their grievances. This window allowed candidates to provide missing or corrected documents, such as updated category certificates or equivalence certificates for their degrees, to substantiate their eligibility.

📌 Stage 3: Review by User Department

Following the closure of the grievance window, the user department—the Government Medical Store Depot, Directorate General of Health Services—conducted a meticulous review of all the representations submitted. The user department examined each case on its merits, verifying the authenticity and validity of the claims made by the candidates.

📌 Stage 4: Final EQ Accepted List (17 July 2026)

After the user department's review was completed, the SSC ER compiled the final list of candidates whose educational qualifications and category claims were successfully verified. This final list, comprising 21 candidates, was published on 17 July 2026. It serves as the definitive roster of candidates who have passed the EQ scrutiny stage.
