SSC CHSL Tier-I Exam Category-wise Cutoff
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL) Tier-I exam is conducted to recruit candidates for various posts in the central government. The cutoff marks for this exam are released category-wise for each phase of the recruitment process. The category-wise cutoff is determined based on factors such as the number of vacancies, the difficulty level of the exam, and the performance of candidates.
Category-wise Cutoff
- General Category: The cutoff for the general category is usually the highest among all categories. It is determined based on the overall performance of candidates belonging to this category.
- OBC Category: The cutoff for the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category is slightly lower than the general category cutoff. OBC candidates who score above this cutoff are eligible for further stages of the recruitment process.
- SC Category: The cutoff for the Scheduled Caste (SC) category is lower than the OBC cutoff. SC candidates who score above this cutoff are considered for the next stages of the selection process.
- ST Category: The cutoff for the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category is usually the lowest among all categories. ST candidates who score above this cutoff are eligible for further stages of the recruitment process.

Determination of Cutoff
The cutoff marks for each category are decided by the SSC after considering various factors. These factors include the difficulty level of the exam, the number of vacancies available, the total number of candidates appearing for the exam, and the performance of candidates in each category.
SSC follows a normalization process to determine the cutoff marks. The normalization process takes into account the variations in the difficulty level of different shifts and ensures fairness in the evaluation process. The final cutoff marks are released after considering all these factors.
It is important for candidates to score above the cutoff marks in their respective categories to qualify for the next stage of the recruitment process. The cutoff marks may vary from year to year based on the aforementioned factors.
