SSC CGL notification was released last night (April 3, 2023). 7,500 vacancies of SSC CGL are there in the official notification which is substantially fewer than the vacancies which were released last year. There will be a lot of questions going in your mind. To address these questions, we have come up with this series of FAQs. Have a look:
There are a number of changes this year which are below:
1. There has been a slight change in the eligibility criteria. Last year when the SSC CGL Notification was released on September 18, 2022, the age limit was to be calculated as on January 1, 2022. But in this year’s notification (which is released on April 3, 2023), the age limit has been calculated as on (August 1, 2023). For a majority of aspirants, this wouldn’t matter, but for those aspirants who will be crossing the maximum age limit just on January 1, 2023, they would not be eligible.
2. There is a new profile of a Research Assistant (National Human Rights Commission) added in this year’s notification which was not there earlier.
The exam level will most likely be similar to that of previous years exams. But that said, anything can be expected from SSC.
The number of vacancies is low this year when compared with the previous years’ vacancies. That means cut-offs will be slightly on the higher side. But it again depends on various factors such as number of candidates, difficulty level of the exam etc.
Considering the fact that Tier 1 exam will take place in the month of July, you have to devise a 3 months strategy. The syllabus of SSC CGL exam has already been provided in the SSC CGL notification. Pick a topic, understand its underlying concept and solve at least 100 questions on that topic. Once this is done, start taking Daily Topic Tests which are completely free of cost. When you solve Topic Tests, you may feel pressurized because of the time limit. You should eventually switch to Mock Tests so that you can practise the actual tests several time before the exam.
