India. SSC is a government organization that takes care of staff recruitment
for different posts in different departments as well as the subordinate
offices. Since its establishment in the year 1975, SSC has been recruiting for
the Group B posts and Group C technical positions in various ministries in
India. SSC also conducts public exams every now and then to recruit people for
large vacancies that exist for various positions.
Some
of them include; Auditors, Jr. Accountants, Divisional Accountants, Upper
Division Clerks, Income Tax Inspectors, Stenographer, and more. Some of
the posts like Storekeeper, Technical Assistants, Information Assistant, etc.
have direct interviews through advertisements. Though SSC restricts the age
limit for eligible candidates between 18 and 27, it also provides age
flexibility for SC/ST, divorced women, widows, ex-servicemen, government
candidates and their heirs.
SSC
Full Form: Secondary School Certificate
Full
Form of SSC stands for Secondary School
Certificate. It refers to the public exam conducted in India, Pakistan, and
Bangladesh. As the name implies, Secondary School Certificate is the exam that
completes the secondary education of students. Typically, SSC is equivalent to
the 10th grade and similar to the GCSE of England.
In
India, SSC is a very significant exam in a student’s life and is also termed as
the ‘10th Board Exam’, as it is a public exam, which is conducted by
the different boards of curriculum present in India. This includes CBSE, CISCE,
and State board. Currently, CBSE has made this public or board exam of 10th
as an optional one for the student. A student may or may not choose to take the
board exam.
Regarding
the procedure of SSC, the exam is organized by the State Boards of Examination
at the State level. At National level, it is organized by the Council for the
Indian School Certificate Examination or CISCE. Each year students who are
undertaking their X grade undergo these exams. However, the syllabus varies
based on the education board. SSC exam takes place anywhere between March and
April and the respective boards release schedules one month prior to the exam
and provide students with sufficient study holidays. The results are normally
declared in May or June each year.
Full
Form of SSC: Short Service Commission
SSC
Full Form refers to Short Service
Commission. It is one of the options to join the Indian Army out of the
two, which include; Short Service Commission and permanent commission (PC). In
general, India Army provides the option of joining their services for 10 years
as a Commissioned Officer. This period can, however, be extended up to 14 years
after which a candidate can opt to be a PC or just opt out. So, if an officer
is not selected or eligible for the PC, he or she can opt to extend the service
for a maximum of 4 years.
SSC
enables officers to develop planning skills, think analytically, and develop
administrative and organizational abilities. This in immensely opens up various
career options at the completion of SSC period. Every candidate who opts and is
selected for SSC has to undergo training in the Officers Training Academy.
To
get selected in SSC, candidates have to take a written exam, which would be
followed by an interview and medical check-up. However, if an officer is a law
or engineering graduate, written exam can be bypassed and the candidate is
eligible to attend the interview directly. Even NCC candidates who have
obtained the Senior Division with a ‘C’ certificate and has at least a ‘B’
grade, he or she is eligible for the direct interview of Short Service
Commission. Here the application process would be through the zonal Head
Quarters or NCC Branch Head Quarters or through Recruiting Directorate. The
entire training lasts for 49 weeks, which helps to broaden the perspectives and
widen the horizon of the candidates.

Full
Form of SSC: Superconducting Super Collider
SSC
Full Form refers to Superconducting Super
Collider. Also nicknamed as Desetron, Superconducting Super Collider is a
particle accelerator complex, which is under construction in Waxahachie, Texas.
The ringed circumference was about 87 km with the world’s most energetic and
largest, which has an energy measure of 20 TeV/portion. The first projector
director of SSC was Dr. Louis Lanniello. The project was terminated due to
budget issues in 1993.
The
first formal discussion of the system took place in December 1976 at National
Reference Designs Study, which scrutinized the economic and technical
feasibility of a tool with a capacity and design for 20 TeV / portion. The SSC
project found huge support from the proposer/architect and Nobel Prize winner
of physics – Leon Lederman and was endorsed around 1983.
After
several heated arguments between the Congress and supporters regarding the cost
of the project, which was estimated to be approximately $4.4 billion, the
project was cancelled on 21 October 1993 after spending $2 billion. Poor
management, many factories, and critics played their part in cancellation of
the project. After the cancellation of the SSC project, scientists and
supporters published books and articles on how the project was necessary. The
end of SSC had a mild recession effect, as the project had advanced to a
certain extent.
SSC
Full Form: Shelby Super Cars
Full
Form of SSC stands for Shelby Super Cars. It
is the former name for SSC North America. It is an automobile manufacturer in
America, which was founded in 1999 by Jerod Shelby. The company is based in
Washington and as the name suggests, it specializes in sorts car production. It
is said to be the true representation of American dream. The main objective of
creating SSC is to create world-class sports cars, which materialized in the
year 2007 with the production of Ultimate Aero. This is a major accomplishment,
which took place in the Guinness World Records.
SSC
is considered as a high competition to the world leaders like Lamborghini,
Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Bugatti, etc. SSC Aero had a twin turbocharged B8s with a
pushrod engine. In July 2008, SSC announced the opening of its showroom in
Dubai. In August 2008, there was a ‘rivalry’ between Bugatii and Shelby to
acquire ‘World’s fastest’ title, which made a noise in the news. In July 2011,
SSC announced the launch of their next generation sports model named Tuatara.
This car uses V8 engine and is said to give an output of between 1350 hp and
1700 hp. Finally, in 2012, Shelby Super Cars changed its name to SSC North
America.
Full
Form of SSC: Sulfide Stress Cracking
SSC
Full Form stands for Sulfide Stress
Cracking. It is the cracking of metals under the amalgamation of corrosion
and tensile stress when hydrogen sulfide and water are present. Sulfide Stress
Cracking can also be termed as a type of embrittlement of hydrogen, which takes
place in localized hard zones and in hard steels in welding of susceptible
materials while there is wet H2S present in the environment. Most often, SSC is
found in alloys due to the restricted slip abilities in the BBC or
body-centered cubic structure. Also, SSC is usually limited to hard steels with
22 or more unit on Rockwell C scale.
The
cause for SSC is often the synergetic effects of high H2S concentration and
high yield strength in the environment. Moreover, SSC is normally associated
with welds. Atomic hydrogen gets diffused into steel causing embrittlement of
the narrow tough zones, which are the heat-affected zones next to the welds. In
portions where there is high tensile stress present (applied or residual),
crack initiates, which lead to the propagation of crack perpendicular to the
stress. SSC is prevented through controlling the levels of load or residual
stress and hardness; by applying heat treatment after the weld; and by avoiding
the source of hydrogen.
SSC
Full Form: Super Star Cluster
Full
Form of SSC refers to Super Star Cluster. It
is a huge open cluster, which is considered as the forerunner of a globular
cluster. In other words, Super Star Cluster refers to the group or cluster of
thousands of young stars packed into an extremely small volume. They appear
like a monster object and were considered to be present in a very far distant
from our galaxy. However, recent strudels of the European astronomers using the
ESO telescopes have uncovered facts that such clusters seem to appear within
our Milky Way Galaxy.
The
true nature of this giant mass of the cluster is yet to be unveiled fully, as
it is hidden behind a huge cloud of gas and dust. This new SSC discovered in
Milky Way is called as ‘Westerlund 1” and astronomers are readying to probe its
structure. Since SSCs highly packed with thousands of stars, even the most
advanced astronomical tool and technology face challenges to study or
distinguish individual stars in the SSCs. Westerlund 1 has provided an
opportunity to explore SSC in detail. Westerlund 1 is found in the Southern
constellation and was first discovered by the Swedish astronomer Bengt
Westerlund in 1961. He later became the director of ESO in Chile.
Full
Form of SSC: Saian Supa Crew
SSC
Full Form stands for Saian Supa Crew (Rap
Group). It was a rap group from France, which comprises of 3 groups – OFX,
Explicit Samourai, and the Simple Spirit. Saian Supa Crew was formed in the
year 1997 and eventually separated in the year 2007. The separation happened
after one of the leaders Leeroy Kesiah along with Feniksi, left the group. The
specialty of the crew was the production of musical style rap that had hints of
reggai, chanting, zouk, dancehall, and raga. Other aspects, which formed an
integral part of their music were classic disco and Beat boxing.
The
themes of SSC rap group varied from addressing drug issues, racism,
relationships, suicide, as well as humor. The lyrics of their songs had both
seriousness and humor, which was the key attraction for their fans. SSCs album
X-raisons won the award of ‘Victoire de la musique’ in the year 2002.
Meanwhile, the individual groups also released their solo albums. OFX made the
start of releasing the first individual album ‘Roots’ in 2004, which was shortly
followed by Explicit Samourai releasing theirs in 2005. Some of the popular
discography creations of SSC group include; Da Stand Out; Hold-Up; KLR; etc.
and popular music videos include; Y a; Raz de Maree; Angela; Jacko, A Demi Nue,
etc.

Form of SSC: Stennis Space Center
SSC
Full Form stands for Stennis Space Center.
It is a rocket testing facility of NASA. The John C. Stennis Space Center –
SSC – is located in Mississippi, on the banks of Pearl River at the border of
Louisiana. Currently, it is the biggest rocket engine testing facility of NASA.
More than 30 states, local, national, private, public, International agencies,
and companies use SSC for their needs of rocket testing.
On
October 25, 1961, NASA announced the test facility in Mississippi, for testing
the engines for Apollo mission. NASA entrusted the challenge of procuring land
to the Army Corps of Engineers. The land had to be acquired through perpetual
easement or direct purchase. Finally, the selected land at Mississippi was
about 13,500 acres or 55 sq. km. Later in 1965, the RPTC or Rocket Propulsion
Test Complex was built, which played a significant role in developing Saturn V
rocket. Later the test stands A-1 and A-2 were built in order to flight-certify
and test the second stage of Saturn V as well as the launch vehicle of Apollo
Program. These two stands are made of concrete and steel structure that looks
similar to a height of 200m. They can withstand over 6000 degrees Fahrenheit
temperature and 1million pound of the load. Currently, Stennis Space Center is
equipped to test the next generation rocket engines for Orbital Science Corp.
SSC
Full Form: South Sea Company
Full
Form of SSC refers to South Sea Company. SSC
or South Sea Company is a British stock company, which was founded in 1711.
Officially, it is the company of merchants and Governor of Great Britain,
trading to parts of America and South Seas to encourage fishing. It is a
partnership between the public and private in order to reduce and consolidate
national debt cost. SSC received monopoly in order to trade with South America.
SSC was a great supporter and promoter of the Bubble Act of 1720, which was
against the creation of stock companies with joint venture without a royal
charter. This in itself leads to the collapse of the company, which impacted a
huge number of people and in turn the national economy.
The
SSC bubble was a very complex event, which was the resultant of intersecting
legal, financial, cultural, and political factors. Though the company was not
successful in the South Sea Trade, it effectively persuaded the government of
Britain to modify portions of National debt into the company shares.
Apparently, the parliament authorized the company to assume a portion of the
debt. After the Bubble act, investor confidence drastically waned and with the
various ‘sell-off’, the company collapsed sooner than expected.
