SSC

SSC is an acronym that can refer to several organizations, exams, and technical concepts, depending on the context. It is commonly encountered in South Asia and in technical literature.

Staff Selection Commission (India) is an autonomous government body responsible for recruiting staff for various ministries and subordinate offices. Under the Government of India, SSC conducts competitive examinations and helps fill a range of positions, including non-technical and various technical posts, through a structured testing and selection process. The agency operates under the Department of Personnel and Training and coordinates recruitment nationwide.

Secondary School Certificate (SSC) is a term used in several South Asian education systems to denote a public examination taken after completing secondary schooling, typically around the 10th grade. In countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, and certain Indian states, the SSC or its equivalents mark the completion of secondary education and determine eligibility for higher secondary programs. The exact boards and syllabuses vary by country and region, but the exam generally serves as a standard benchmark for secondary-level achievement.

Sparse Subspace Clustering (SSC) is a method in machine learning for clustering data drawn from a union of low-dimensional subspaces. The approach expresses each data point as a sparse linear combination of other points and builds a similarity graph to identify clusters corresponding to the subspaces. SSC is cited in literature on subspace clustering and has applications in computer vision, signal processing, and pattern recognition.

Because SSC has diverse uses, the intended meaning is typically inferred from the field and regional context.
