The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has recently uncovered a significant fraud in the recruitment process for the MTS (Multi-Tasking Staff) and Havildar positions, utilizing advanced AI technology. It was discovered that 1,300 candidates attempted to apply for the examination multiple times using the same photograph. Approximately 18 applications raised red flags due to identical names and photos, prompting the SSC to annul all such submissions. Consequently, these candidates will be barred from participating in the upcoming examination.
