The Staff Selection Commission has released the Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2025 result update on 8 April 2026. In the official write-up, SSC has described this release as the First Round of Tentative Allocation (FRTA), not the final appointment list. This is the document candidates should use to check the current allocation status, category-wise cut off marks and the next step in the process. According to the official SSC write-up, the Tier-I result was declared on 18 December 2025 and Tier-II was held on 18 and 19 January 2026. After revision of some reported vacancies, the final vacancy count stands at 15,118 and the same number of candidates have been provisionally shortlisted in FRTA. SSC has also made it clear that shortlisted candidates have to participate in the sliding process within the notified schedule, and absence in that process will mean they are not considered for the final result. Candidates should therefore read this result carefully as a process-stage outcome rather than a simple merit list PDF. The most important points right now are the overall section-wise cut offs, post-wise cut off marks, revised vacancy details, and the sliding mechanism timeline published by SSC.

SSC CGL Final Result 2025 Released

SSC has published the Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2025 result update dated 08 April 2026 on its official website. The official document does not call this stage the final appointment result. Instead, SSC has termed it the First Round of Tentative Allocation (FRTA), which means candidates have been provisionally allocated on the basis of merit and submitted preferences.

This distinction matters because the same write-up states that candidates who fail to attend the sliding process physically will be treated as absent and will not be considered for the final result. So, while many candidates search for the SSC CGL Final Result 2025, the official SSC position is that the current release is the FRTA stage of the selection process.

The result is based on performance in Tier-II and the applicable qualifying modules. Candidates can now use the official PDFs to check their allocation, understand the cut off marks and follow the next process instructions issued by SSC.

The official SSC write-up connects the current result release with the earlier exam milestones below.

These dates are the key timeline points candidates should keep in view while checking the result and planning the next steps.

Category-wise Cut Off Marks in Section I and Section II

SSC has given the overall category-wise cut off marks used for shortlisting candidates for evaluation of the next qualifying components. These are the broad section-wise cut offs for the further selection process.

CategorySection I Cut OffSection II Cut Off
UR54.0000063.00000

PwD-Others36.0000042.00000

These section cut offs are not the same as the final post allocation marks for individual posts. They are the threshold marks used at the shortlisting stage before allocation.

CKT and DEST Qualifying Cut Off

For posts where Computer Knowledge Test or Data Entry Speed Test is prescribed, SSC has separately published the qualifying cut off standards. Candidates should read these along with the section-wise cut offs because clearing Section I and Section II alone is not enough where CKT or DEST is mandatory.

SSC has also stated that Section III and Section IV are qualifying in nature, but they remain essential for posts where these modules apply.

JSO and SI Category-wise Cut Off Marks

The official write-up gives a separate cut off table for Statistical Investigator Grade-II and Junior Statistical Officer. SSC has identified C36 as Statistical Investigator Grade-II and C37 as Junior Statistical Officer.

Vacancies and Selection Breakup

SSC has stated that the Commission had earlier published 15,125 final vacancies on 06 March 2026, but two departments revised their vacancy position for administrative reasons. After revision, the final vacancy count stands at 15,118.

The write-up also notes that a number of EWS, SC, ST and OBC candidates qualified at UR standard, which is why category interpretation should always be read with the official note in the PDF.

Sliding Mechanism and What Candidates Must Do Next

SSC has introduced a sliding mechanism for CGLE 2025 to improve vacancy utilization and reduce losses caused by absenteeism and non-joining. This is a critical part of the present stage and shortlisted candidates should not ignore it.

  • Candidates must log in on the SSC website and choose venue, date and slot for the sliding process from 08 April 2026 to 10 April 2026.
  • The sliding process will be conducted from 13 April 2026 to 22 April 2026 in Northern Region.
  • For all other Regional Offices, the sliding process will run from 13 April 2026 to 18 April 2026.
  • The venue address will be shown in the designated login module while selecting date and slot.
  • If a candidate does not attend the sliding process physically, SSC will treat the candidate as absent and the candidate will not be considered for the final result.

This means the current PDF is not the end of the process. Candidates must complete the next stage carefully to remain in consideration.

Candidates applying for JSO or SI should especially check List-1. For the cut off details across posts, the FRTA write-up is the most useful official PDF.

Important Notes on Withheld Results and Final Marks

The SSC write-up says that the result of 107 candidates has been kept withheld for various reasons. It also says that 8 rejected or debarred candidates appeared in Tier-II, and their results have not been processed.

SSC has further clarified that representations on the Tier-II answer keys were examined and the final answer keys were used for evaluation. However, the final answer keys and detailed marks of selected and non-selected candidates are to be uploaded later in due course.

So, candidates who are looking for complete marks and answer key documents should keep checking the official SSC website even after downloading the present result and cut off PDFs.
