Allotment Patterns and Candidate Impact
The SSC conducted a thorough matching of candidate preferences against available centre capacity. “We have ensured that most applicants receive one of their top three city choices,” an SSC spokesperson stated. However, logistical constraints meant that around 21 percent of candidates were placed in alternate cities, leading to the noted average travel distance.
