SSC CGL 2025 Selection process

The SSC CGL 2025 Exam will have two tiers.

• Tier 1: This will be an online test, conducted on a computer. It’s a qualifying exam, meaning the marks won’t count towards the final result. Only those who pass Tier 1 will be eligible for Tier 2.
• Tier 2: This consists of three papers: Paper I, Paper II, and Paper III. Paper I is mandatory for all candidates. Paper II is for those aiming for the Junior Statistical Officer position, while Paper III is for candidates applying for Assistant Audit Officer or Assistant Account Officer roles.

It’s important to note that only candidates who clear Tier 1 will move on to Tier 2. The cut-off marks for Tier 2 will be announced separately for each paper (Paper I, Paper II, and Paper III).
