Understanding the Allocation List Codes and Abbreviations

| 0 | EWS (Economically Weaker Section) |

Column Meanings: CAT1, CAT2, CAT3, CATSEL, POSTSEL, and RANK
CAT1: The primary category under which you applied or were considered by SSC.
CAT2: A letter code representing the specific user department or central government organisation (such as CPWD, BRO, or MES) being considered for allocation in this round.
CAT3: A secondary category number relevant to the allocation exercise.
CATSEL: The final category code under which you have been tentatively selected in this round.
POSTSEL: The department or organisation code under which you have been tentatively allocated a post (for example, a code for CPWD, BRO, or another central agency).
RANK: Your serial number within the relevant category and post combination, displayed as “SL” followed by a number, indicating your merit position.
What Your Allocation Status Means – Next Steps
If your roll number appears in the list:
You have been provisionally allocated to a post and department based on your choices and merit rank. Verify that your name, roll number, father’s name, mother’s name, category, and allocated post are correct. Note the CATSEL (final category) and POSTSEL (allocated department) codes. This allocation is tentative and may change in subsequent rounds; continue checking the official website for updates and further allocation lists or joining instructions.
If your roll number does not appear in the list:
You have not been allocated a post in this first round. This does not mean your selection is final; SSC conducts multiple allocation rounds based on vacancy updates and candidate withdrawals. Monitor the official website closely for announcements of subsequent allocation rounds. If you believe you meet the eligibility and selection criteria, continue to track the official SSC portal for further rounds.
What Does “Tentative” Mean in This Context?
The allocation is explicitly marked as “tentative” because it remains subject to change. Subsequent allocation rounds may revise allocations due to vacancy modifications, withdrawal of candidature by selected candidates, adjustments in reservation rosters, or corrections following representations from candidates. Treat this list as your current provisional status and not as a final, binding allocation. Continue checking the official SSC website for confirmation, further allocation rounds, joining instructions, or communication from your allocated department.
Verification Steps After Locating Your Entry
- Confirm that your name, roll number, father’s name, and mother’s name match your application records exactly.
- Cross-check the CATSEL (final category code) and POSTSEL (allocated department code) shown in the list.
- If you identify any discrepancy or error, note it carefully. SSC will announce an official window for raising objections or requesting corrections.
- Keep the allocation list PDF and your screenshot saved for official communication and verification with your allocated department.
- Always verify information directly from the official PDF on ssc.gov.in; do not rely on third-party websites or unofficial sources.

Q3. What does POSTSEL mean in my allocation entry?

For example, a specific code may represent CPWD, BRO, or another central agency. The meaning of each code is typically explained at the bottom of the allocation PDF.
Q4. What does CATSEL mean in my allocation entry?
Ans. CATSEL is the final category code (such as UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, or a disability category) under which you have been tentatively selected in this allocation round. This may differ from CAT1 (your application category) based on the allocation algorithm and vacancy positions.
Q5. I am not on the first round allocation list. Does this mean I have been rejected?
Ans. No. The first round is the initial allocation only. SSC conducts multiple allocation rounds based on updates in vacancy numbers and withdrawals by selected candidates. Continue checking the official website for announcements of subsequent allocation rounds. Your final status will be confirmed after all rounds are completed.
Q6. What should I do if I find an error in my allocated post or category?
Ans. Note the discrepancy carefully. SSC will announce an official window for candidates to raise objections or request corrections. Submit your objection through the designated process with supporting documentation. Do not contact departments or SSC through unofficial channels; always use the official portal.
Q7. Is the allocation final, or can it change?
Ans. The allocation is tentative and subject to change in subsequent rounds. It may be revised due to vacancy modifications, withdrawals by other candidates, changes in reservation policies, or SSC corrections. Treat this as your provisional status and await further official communication or subsequent allocation rounds.
Q8. When will the next allocation round be conducted?
Ans. SSC has not announced a specific date for the second round of allocation. Monitor the official SSC website regularly for announcements. The next round typically follows after a few weeks, depending on vacancy updates and candidate responses from the first round.
How to Proceed After the First Round Allocation
Check the allocation list immediately using your roll number to confirm your provisional allocation status. If you are allocated, save the PDF and note your allocated post and department codes; if you are not allocated in this round, monitor the official SSC website for the announcement of the second allocation round. Candidates allocated posts must verify their details against the allocation list and remain alert for joining instructions or further communication from their allocated department; candidates not yet allocated should continue to track SSC announcements, as multiple rounds of allocation are typically conducted.
