SSC CGL Exam Pattern
NOTE: There is negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in Tier-I.

In Tier-II, there is negative marking of 0.25 marks in Paper-II and III and 0.50 marks in Paper-I for each wrong answer.

Candidates are advised to keep this in mind while answering the questions.

Staff Service Commission has decided that the candidates qualifying in Tier-II of the Examination, for Computer Proficiency Test and Interview for posts of Assistant in CSS, Interview for other Interview posts, Data Entry Skill Test for posts of Tax Assistant and document verification for other non-interview posts, will be subjected to a Short Descriptive paper of not more than one hour’s duration, with questions drawn from “English Language and Comprehension”, “Quantitative Abilities” and “General Awareness”. If adequate infrastructure with reliable real time connectivity is available, at least in the Regional Headquarters and Lucknow, the Commission will at its option, change this to an online examination. The examination will be qualifying in nature and will not be taken into account for determining the position of the candidates in merit order. This is expected to screen those candidates who might have been able to take advantage of unfair means in Tier-I and II examinations. The proposed short descriptive papers/online test will not only screen but deter those candidates who intend to use unfair means in examination.

      You need to complete your graduation to apply for SSC CGL. Appearing candidate can’t apply. Last year it was clearly mentioned that as on 20 April, 2012, the candidate should have a Graduation Degree. This time also, they will mention the date.
