How State-wise Vacancy Works in SSC GD
Every GD candidate fills a state or region column in the application form. The vacancies are then allotted state-wise, and within a state the allocation to forces happens according to merit and the force preferences you record. Candidates who want to serve in West Bengal must fill West Bengal domicile certificate from the SDO or BDO in that column and keep the supporting certificate ready.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Application | Choose the state or region for which you want to be considered |
| 2. Notification table | SSC declares how many posts each state and force will get |
| 3. Merit list | Allocation is state-wise, then by merit within that state pool |
| 4. Document verification | Domicile and category certificates are checked against your claims |
| 5. Force allotment | Preferences recorded in the form are considered in merit order |

West Bengal Competition and Preparation Notes
West Bengal is one of the largest source states for central armed police recruitment, and the competition is driven by the size of the applicant pool rather than by the number of posts. Expect the cut off in the West Bengal pool to sit close to the national figure, and treat the physical test as the deciding stage, because a large share of candidates clear the written paper and then fail the 5 km run.

| Check | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 170 cm | 157 cm |
| Chest | 80 cm with 5 cm expansion | Not applicable |
| Running | 5 km in 24 minutes | 5 km in 24 minutes |
| Written paper | 80 questions, 160 marks, 60 minutes | Same paper |
| Marking | 2 marks correct, 0.25 deducted per wrong answer | Same |
