The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) conducts the national-level SSC CGL Examination annually to recruit officers for prestigious posts including Assistant Section Officer (CSS, MEA, IB, Railway), Income Tax Inspector, Central Excise Inspector, Assistant Enforcement Officer (ED), Sub-Inspector (CBI), Junior Statistical Officer (JSO), Auditor, and Tax Assistant across ministries and departments.

SSC CGL Selection Stages & Exam Structure

The SSC CGL selection framework consists of two computer-based tiers:

• Tier 1 Preliminary Examination (Screening): A computer-based test of 100 questions (200 marks) spanning 60 minutes. Marks scored in Tier 1 are used only to shortlist candidates for Tier 2 and do not count toward the final selection merit list.
• Tier 2 Mains Examination (Merit Deciding): Compulsory Paper 1 (150 questions / 450 marks scored + qualifying computer and DEST typing modules), plus Paper 2 (Statistics) for JSO posts. Final merit and cadre allocation are determined strictly by Tier 2 scores.
• Data Entry Speed Test (DEST) & Document Verification: Mandatory qualifying typing test conducted during Tier 2, followed by final user department document authentication.
