How Will You Be Selected — Selection Process

Getting selected for SSC CGL happens in three stages. Here is exactly what happens at each stage:

Stage 1 — Tier 1 Examination (Computer Based)

This is a computer-based test of 200 marks. You get 1 hour to complete it.

The paper covers four subjects:

  • General Intelligence and Reasoning (50 marks)
  • General Awareness (50 marks)
  • Quantitative Aptitude (50 marks)
  • English Comprehension (50 marks)

Is there negative marking?

YES — 0.50 marks are deducted for every wrong answer.

This exam is only qualifying. Your Tier 1 marks are NOT added to your final merit list score.

Stage 2 — Tier 2 Examination (Computer Based)

If you clear Tier 1, you move to the Tier 2 main exam. This exam determines your final selection. It tests your deep knowledge in Maths, Reasoning, English, and General Awareness.

It also includes a computer knowledge test. This computer test is mandatory but qualifying in nature. There is negative marking in Tier 2 as well.

Stage 3 — Skill Test and Document Verification

For certain technical posts, you must pass a skill test. This includes a Data Entry Speed Test (DEST). You need a specific typing speed to pass.

After clearing the exams, you are called for document verification. You do not get any marks here. This is just to confirm that your documents are genuine.

ℹ️ NOTE: There is NO interview for SSC CGL posts. Your final merit list is based entirely on Tier 2 written test marks.

How to Prepare for SSC CGL 2026 — Simple Preparation Guide

The SSC CGL exam covers four main subjects. Here is how much weight each subject carries and how to approach your preparation:

General Intelligence and Reasoning: Practice 30 to 50 questions daily. Focus on coding-decoding, number series, and mirror images. This is the most scoring section. A simple book by RS Aggarwal is enough to master this.

Quantitative Aptitude: This is math. Focus on arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Learn short tricks to save time. Practice calculation speed daily for 15 minutes. Solve advanced math questions carefully.

English Comprehension: Focus on grammar, reading comprehension, and vocabulary. If your English is weak, spend 30 minutes daily reading a newspaper. Memorize 10 new words every day. Study basic grammar rules thoroughly.

General Awareness: Focus on current affairs of the last 8 months. Study basic Indian history, geography, and polity. Read one newspaper every day. Focus on science and static GK.

How much time do you have before the exam? If you have 4 to 5 months, 5 hours of daily study is enough to clear this exam. Divide your time equally among all four subjects.

The best preparation strategy for SSC CGL is solving previous year question papers. Previous SSC papers are available free on official websites and online platforms. Solving 10 to 15 previous papers gives you a clear idea of the exam pattern.
