Cut-off for each tier of the SSC CGL Exam

The SSC CGL (Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level) Exam is conducted in four tiers - Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and Tier 4. The cut-off marks for each tier are determined separately based on various factors such as difficulty level of the exam, number of vacancies, and number of candidates appearing for the exam. Let's discuss the cut-off for each tier in detail:

Tier 1 Cut-off:
- Tier 1 is a computer-based examination consisting of four sections - General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, and English Comprehension.
- The cut-off marks for Tier 1 are calculated based on the total marks obtained by the candidates in all four sections.

- Each paper is of 200 marks, making a total of 800 marks for Tier 2.
- The cut-off marks for Tier 2 are calculated based on the marks obtained by the candidates in each paper.

Final Cut-off:
- The final cut-off for the SSC CGL Exam is calculated based on the aggregate marks obtained by the candidates in Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3.
- The final cut-off is determined separately for different categories such as General, OBC, SC, ST, and PwD.
