The SSC has officially announced a fresh batch of vacancies for the 2025 recruitment cycle for Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) and Havaldar (CBIC & CBN) posts — making this one of the key opportunities for 10th-pass candidates who want to secure stable government jobs in non-technical or enforcement support roles.

🔎 What’s the Vacancy Count for 2025?
The total number of vacancies announced for 2025 is 7,948.
Of these:
MTS (Various categories/age-groups): 6,810 posts.
Havaldar (CBIC & CBN): 1,138 posts.
Earlier in 2025, SSC had issued a revised vacancy list showing 5,464 — comprising 4,375 MTS + 1,089 Havaldar posts.
But with more manpower requisitions from departments, the updated number is now 7,948.
This uplift in vacancies improves chances for many aspirants — especially those targeting Havaldar posts, which are relatively limited.
🧑💼 Who Can Apply — Eligibility & Posts
Educational qualification: 10th class pass (Matriculation) or equivalent from a recognised board.
Age criteria: For MTS: Typically 18–25 years; for some MTS/Havaldar posts often age limit extended to 18–27 years (check notification for specifics). Havaldar posts come with Physical Standard Test (PST) + Physical Efficiency Test (PET) requirements (height, chest for male, walking test, etc.).
MTS posts are non-technical, non-gazetted posts for clerical/support roles in various Ministries, CBIC/CBN etc.
Thus, even 10th-pass candidates from any discipline can apply, which makes this recruitment drive accessible to a wide pool of aspirants.
📅 Recruitment Process & Important Dates (Tentative)
The official notification for MTS & Havaldar 2025 was issued in June 2025.
Application window was open; there was also a correction window later (for editing application details).
The Computer-Based Test (CBT) for 2025 cycle was tentatively scheduled between September–October 2025.
For Havaldar posts, only candidates who qualify CBT will be eligible for PST + PET — so ensure you meet physical standards before applying.
✅ What This Means for Aspirants
With ~8,000 total vacancies, there’s a significant opportunity for 10th-pass and matric-qualified candidates aspiring for govt jobs.
The expanded vacancy list — especially Havaldar — improves chances for those aiming for enforcement-support roles (CBIC, CBN).
For Havaldar: aptitude + physical fitness both matter. So prepare accordingly: ensure height, chest/fitness norms, plus readiness for walking tests (or other PET requirements).
For MTS: focus on general aptitude, reasoning, general awareness — clear those sections to make merit list.
