Hello from Careers360,

Thank you for reaching out regarding your SSC CPO application. I understand your concern about not selecting the "currently serving in the armed forces" option during your application process.

First, congratulations on clearing your SSC CPO Tier 1 exam. That's a significant achievement.

Regarding your question, while it's always best to provide accurate information on applications, this particular oversight may not necessarily disqualify you. However, it's important to address this during your documentation phase.

Here's what I suggest:

1. Prepare a written statement explaining the situation and why you didn't select that option initially.

2. Gather any relevant documents that prove your current service in Assam Rifles.

3. When you attend the document verification process, inform the officials about this discrepancy upfront. Be honest and straightforward about the mistake.

In most cases, if you're upfront about such oversights and can provide the correct information with supporting documents, the authorities are understanding.

If you're particularly concerned, you might want to reach out to the SSC directly to inform them of this situation before your documentation phase. They may be able to guide you on the best course of action.

Remember, honesty is crucial in these processes. Best of luck with your SSC CPO journey. If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to ask.
