Questions related to SSC CGL

Have a question related to SSC CGL ?

Hello Pooja,

If you filled the wrong date of birth on the SSC CGL application form and the correction window is closed, here’s what can happen:

  1. Document Mismatch : During document verification, your application may be rejected if the DOB on the form doesn't match your 10th certificate or official ID.

  2. No Correction Later : SSC generally does not allow changes after the correction window. Mistakes in DOB are taken seriously.

  3. What You Can Do :

    • Appear for the exam if your application isn’t rejected initially.

    • During document verification, clearly explain the issue and provide valid proof (birth certificate, 10th marksheet, Aadhaar, etc.).

    • You may write to SSC’s regional office requesting consideration, but acceptance is not guaranteed.

In future attempts, ensure all details are double-checked before final submission.


I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

HELLO,

If you are an ex serviceman and you want to apply for the Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level exam then you get some extra years added to the age limit based on your category

  • if you belong to the general category you get three years of relaxation after subtracting the number of years you served in the military from your current age

  • if you are from the other backward classes category you get six years

  • if you are from the scheduled castes or scheduled tribes category you get eight years

now which jobs can ex servicemen apply for

you can apply for most jobs in group C and some jobs in group B but not all group B jobs allow ex servicemen to apply so it is important to check the job notification each year when the Staff Selection Commission releases it

To be considered an ex serviceman you should have

  • served in the Indian Army Indian Navy or Indian Air Force

  • been officially discharged or retired either because you chose to or because the military released you

  • possibly received a pension or completed your full term of service

  • if you are not a graduate then you must have served for at least fifteen years in the armed forces to apply

In simple words the Staff Selection Commission allows ex servicemen to apply for many government jobs with some age benefits but your service record and education level must meet their conditions

Hope it helps!

HEY THERE!!

Yes, ex-servicemen are eligible to apply for SSC CGL.

  • According to the eligibility criteria, ex-servicemen are eligible for age relaxation and fee exemption while applying for the SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) exam.
  • Ex-servicemen are exempted from paying the application fee, and ex-servicemen have reserved vacancies in some posts.
  • You need to satisfy the other general eligibility criteria (like educational qualification and nationality) as specified in the official notification.
  • Ensure to go through the elaborate request and reservation guidelines in the SSC CGL 2025 official notification when made available while applying.

The Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (SSC CGL) exam is a national-level examination conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) for the recruitment of eligible candidates for various Group B and Group C posts in different ministries, departments, and organizations of the Government of India. A bachelor's degree from a recognized university is the basic educational qualification required to appear for this exam. The age limit varies depending on the specific post, generally ranging from 18 to 32 years, with age relaxations for certain categories.

The SSC CGL exam is conducted in two tiers: Tier-I and Tier-II, both of which are computer-based online examinations. Tier-I is a qualifying stage, and the marks obtained in this tier are not counted for the final merit list. It consists of four sections: General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, and English Comprehension. Each section comprises 25 questions, with each question carrying 2 marks, making a total of 100 questions and 200 marks. The total time allotted for the Tier-I exam is 60 minutes, and there is a negative marking of 0.50 marks for each incorrect answer.

Candidates who clear the Tier-I cutoff are eligible to appear for the Tier-II examination. The Tier-II exam has a different pattern and consists of three papers. Paper-I is compulsory for all posts and is divided into three sections: Mathematical Abilities, Reasoning and General Intelligence, and English Language and Comprehension, and General Awareness. There is also a Computer Knowledge Test and a Data Entry Speed Test as part of Paper-I. Paper-II is for candidates applying for the post of Junior Statistical Officer (JSO) and involves Statistics. Paper-III is for candidates applying for the posts of Assistant Audit Officer/Assistant Accounts Officer and covers General Studies (Finance and Economics). There is negative marking in Tier-II as well; 1 mark is deducted for each wrong answer in Sections I and II of Paper-I, and 0.50 marks for each wrong answer in Paper-II and Paper-III. The marks scored in the Tier-II exam are crucial for the final selection.

I hope this helps.
