The application window for the 2025 exam is open from April 22nd to May 21st, 2025.

Here’s the lowdown:

First things first, are you eligible?

  • Got a Degree? You'll need a bachelor's degree from a university that's legit.
  • Age Matters: Generally, you need to be between 18 and 32 years old, but this can change depending on the specific job. Good news: if you're in a reserved category, you probably get some leeway on the age thing.
  • Citizenship: You have to be an Indian citizen, or from Nepal, Bhutan, or a Tibetan refugee who came to India before January 1, 1962.

Alright, ready to apply?

Here's how it works, step-by-step:

Hello,

Yes, you can fill the SSC CGL form if you are in the last semester of your BTech, but your degree must be completed before the final document verification stage.

So, if your final result comes out before that stage, then you are eligible. Just make sure you will have your degree or provisional certificate by the time SSC asks for documents.

Hope it helps !

Hello Prince,

To prepare well for SSC CGL Exam, the most essential step is to understand syllabus. Which has following four parts:

1. General Intelligence and reasoning

2. Quantitative Aptitude

3. English

4. General Awareness

Then go through at least last 5 years PYQs. From that you will get to know the main areas of focus and the areas which has been given high weightage in exam from each part.

Based on this divide each part of syllabus into subtopic. And prepare each topic thoroughly through your base sources. Have command over your basics from these sources.

I would like to share some of the resources you may refer to for your preparation

1. For English: Neetu Singh Mam's book

2. For Quantitative aptitude: Aditya Rajan Sir's Videos on YouTube

3. For General Awareness:  Lucent's GK + Parcham Classes's Videos on YouTube.

Along with this you need to practice PYQs and give various mock tests to increase your efficiency. You may take a help of various platforms available online for practicing mock tests. Only practicing mock tests is not enough you need to analyze your performance in each mock test.

I hope this answers your query and will definitely help you in your preparation
