Apart from the CGL fiasco, SSC has made some sudden changes in the process of SSC MTS too, which has left the aspirants baffled. And now these potholes in the process of conducting CGL Tier 2 after multiple reschedules of the exam, clearly indicate that SSC is not able to live up to the expectations of the aspirants.
