In alignment with the vision of Digital India, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has transitioned from
usage of physical dossiers to electronic dossiers (e-dossiers) for forwarding documents of selected candidates
to Ministries / Departments. The process of providing dossiers to Ministries, Departments and other
Government organizations has been fully digitized using the 'e-dossier' portal of SSC. Dossiers of qualified
candidates in various examinations are now compiled electronically by SSC and made available on the e-
dossier portal for being downloaded by the nodal officers of various Ministries / Departments etc. for
initiating pre-appointment formalities. The transition from physical dossiers to e-dossiers has the following

replaced.
2. Enhanced security and control: The e-dossier module is a protected one with access logs, ensuring
authenticity and traceability.
3. Faster and more efficient communication: E-dossiers facilitate quicker transmission of documents,
streamlining the recruitment process.

savings and supports environmental sustainability.
