Good luck..

Indeed, you can very well sit for SSC CGL while doing your BA LLB course, which is 5-year integrated.


For the purpose of SSC CGL eligibility, one needs to have a bachelor's degree from any recognized university. Since your BA LLB is a 5-year integrated course, it will qualify you once you complete that.


However, check the eligibility criteria for each post, as it may vary for each. For instance, for some, certain specific subjects studied would be criteria, or a minimum percentage is a criterion.


Always refer to and monitor the SSC official notifications for any available information and eligibility criteria.


Hence, starting preparations right from the beginning and being constant helps you definitely clear out the SSC CGL exam.

No,it will not create any problem in future if you have st category and fill up form of any government job in general category candidates.

The reservation category like sc st obc have seperate seats in any government jobs because they come from weaker sections of society to empower them there is a quota of some percent in seats which they can claim by using their category certificate.if you come from a strong background you dont need to fill this category.

Thanks..
