Attention all SSC GD 2026 aspirants! The correction window is now open, but there’s a catch you need to know about. The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially opened the correction window for the General Duty (GD) Constable Examination 2026 application forms, starting today, 8 January, and closing on 10 January. This is your chance to fix any errors in your application, but here’s where it gets tricky: you’re only allowed to edit your form twice, and each attempt comes with a fee. And this is the part most people miss: the fees increase with each correction—Rs 200 for the first edit and Rs 500 for the second. So, proceed with caution!
To make changes, head over to the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in, log in using your application number and password, and navigate to the 'Edit OTR' option. But before you dive in, let’s break down what you can and can’t change. Here’s the controversial part: while you can modify critical details like your name, parent’s name, educational qualifications, and exam center, other fields remain locked. Why? The SSC hasn’t disclosed the reasoning, leaving many candidates wondering if it’s fair. What do you think? Should all fields be editable, or is the SSC justified in limiting changes?
Let’s walk through the process step-by-step to ensure you don’t miss anything. After logging in, make your edits, save the changes, and review everything carefully. Once you’re confident, pay the correction fee via debit card, credit card, internet banking, or mobile wallet. Remember, the fee is non-refundable, so double-check your details before submitting.

With limited edits and increasing fees, some candidates feel it’s a revenue-generating tactic rather than a genuine effort to help applicants. What’s your take? Share your thoughts in the comments—we’d love to hear your perspective!
