“SSC” stands for Secondary School Certificate, which is an examination typically conducted for students completing their 10th grade or secondary schooling in various countries, primarily in South Asia, including India and Pakistan. It marks the completion of secondary education. After passing the SSC exams, students usually proceed to higher secondary education or pre-university courses, which culminate in another set of exams often referred to as the HSC or Higher Secondary Certificate, marking the completion of 12th grade.
