In addition, DSSC promotion is automatic and smoother than the SSC, DSSC if am correct gets promoted as their years in service increases wereas, SSC fights for promotion attending courses and and writing exams to get promoted, competting with regulars (NDA graduates)

SSC are trained for pure combat (combatants) as such they work at fore front of combat zones at war times, any other time they are to manage barracks, platoons, commands etc.
I will still prefer SSC to DSSC coz while on SSC, within 5years, you attain the rack of a captain and SSC can get to the rank of a General while DSSC ends in Colonel.

SSC officers commands troops while DSSC do not

NOTE: if you are shortlisted for SSC, you become 2nd leutenant but your actual mates are those In thermal 1 in NDA because you are promoted to captain together, but DSSC don't wait to get captain. This means at a point SSC will salute his DSSC mate

Thanks

Hello guys, please I need clarification on the referee part; one of the instructions on the
recruitment portal said to be recommended by 2 recognizable referees.
Question:
Does the person who sign the 'reference form' (the form a passport is to be attached to)
together with another person who signs the attestation of local govt. area constitute the
two referees or
Two different 'reference forms' have to be filled in addition to the local govt. attestation
form, all 3 signed by different individuals or
A referee completes a 'reference form', while another referee signs both a reference form
and the local govt. attestation form or
Somehow both are the same, either get 2 reference forms signed or sign two 'attestation
of local govt. area forms'?
Which is it? Can someone kindly shed more light on the part of the 2 recognizable referees in
relation to the local govt attestation form (the one without space for affixation of
passport).
Note: Both the 'reference form' and 'attestation of local govt. area' forms are to be signed
by 'appropriate' officers from the candidate's state of origin.
Thanks in anticipation...

Davexx:
Here is a snapshot of my conversation with their support team, i asked same question too, bottom line is, you have to print two reference forms, one can be signed by the same person signing the LGA attestation, then look for another referee to sign the second reference form.
