WHAT IS SSC CGL?

SSC CGL stands for "Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level," and it is India's most popular government employment test. Every year, over 30-40 lakh qualified students fill out the application form, and approximately 15-20 lakh hopefuls take the CGL test. The final applicants who are shortlisted and selected will work in the ministry and several government departments in India.

Every year, SSC CGL provides the finest opportunity for applicants to work in various job descriptions in Indian Government organizations. This year, officials have made significant modifications to the SSC CGL 2023 exam. Candidates will now be selected category-wise based on their performance in the Tier 1 test in order to advance to the next round of the SSC CGL recruitment process.
