SSC CGL FAQ
How many tiers does SSC CGL currently have?
SSC CGL currently runs Tier 1 and Tier 2, both computer-based. SSC has revised this structure before (it previously had up to 4 tiers), so always confirm the current scheme in that year's official notification.
When does SSC usually release the CGL notification?
Timing varies by year — check ssc.gov.in's notice board directly for the current cycle's exact notification date rather than assuming a fixed month.
