Delay in SSC CGL Tier 1 Result Announcement

Earlier, SSC Chairman S. Gopalakrishnan informed NDTV that the results would likely be declared on or before the last week of December 2025. Explaining the delay, he revealed that around 4,500 questions from 45 different exams are currently under review due to candidate objections.

Candidates can raise objections if they believe a question is incorrect, ambiguous, or unfair. These objections are carefully reviewed by the original paper setters, and only after all verifications and necessary corrections are completed does the SSC finalize and release the results.

SSC CGL Tier 1 Exam Overview

The SSC CGL Tier 1 examination was conducted over 15 days across 255 exam centres in 126 cities nationwide. Out of 28 lakh registered candidates, about 13.5 lakh appeared for the exam.

The Tier 1 paper included four sections:

When Will SSC CGL Tier 2 Be Held?

Candidates who clear the Tier 1 round can expect the SSC CGL Tier 2 exam to be conducted in January or February 2026. Unlike the Tier 1 exam, which spanned over multiple days, the Tier 2 examination is expected to be completed in a shorter duration, possibly within a single day.
