⏱️ 10-Second Verdict: The Directorate General, Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), Ministry of Home Affairs, has issued a corrigendum to its combined Constable-to-Sub-Inspector (Non-GD) 2025 recruitment (Advt No. 524/RC/SSB), clarifying that the chest measurement in the Physical Standard Test (PST) is in centimeters — minimum 75 cm with a minimum expansion of 5 cm (range 75–80 cm) — for 5 medical/paramedical cadre post categories. This is only a clarification, not a new recruitment or a change to vacancy numbers, eligibility, or dates — everything else in the original advertisement stays as published.
📋 What This Corrigendum Says
Five separate advertisements, together covering 25 posts under Constable to Sub Inspector (Non-GD)-2025 in SSB, were published in Employment News dated 21–27 March 2026 under Advertisement No. 524/RC/SSB/Combined Advt./CT to SI (Non-GD)/2025.

| 3. Head Constables (Laboratory Assistant & Physiotherapy Assistant) |

| 5. Constables (Nursing Assistant cum Medic & Nursing Orderly) |

The corrigendum explicitly states: "Other contents of advertisement shall remain unchanged." No changes to vacancy count, eligibility, pay, selection process, or dates.
📌 Background on the Original Recruitment
ℹ️ The uploaded corrigendum itself doesn't repeat the full original advertisement details.
