Preparation tips
1Master quantitative aptitude fundamentals — arithmetic, algebra, and geometry — as this section is high-scoring and frequently decisive in Tier-1 cut-offs.
2Read a quality English newspaper daily to strengthen reading comprehension and vocabulary for the English sections in both tiers.
3Revise current affairs and static GK (history, geography, polity, economics, science) consistently; General Awareness requires broad but not deep coverage.
4Practise previous years' SSC CGL Tier-1 papers under timed conditions to build speed and accuracy while minimising negative marking.
5If targeting JSO or Statistical Investigator posts, give extra time to Statistics and ensure you clear the Tier-2 Paper-2 syllabus thoroughly.
The online application window for SSC CGL 2026 closes on 22 June 2026 at 11:00 PM. Submit your form well before this deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.

Male candidates belonging to the General and OBC categories must pay a fee of ₹100. Female candidates and candidates from SC, ST, PwBD, and Ex-Servicemen categories are fully exempted from the fee.
