The basic eligibility is simple, you need a graduation degree from any recognised university. That's the minimum. Some posts might ask for specific subjects so do check the official notification once before filling the form. Better safe than sorry.
For age limit, it depends on which post you're applying for. SSC gives relaxation to reserved category candidates too, so go through the detailed notification for that.
The fee is just ₹100, which is honestly very less. And if you belong to any of these categories, you don't even have to pay:
Payment can be done through UPI, Net Banking, or debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay etc.)
It's not that complicated, just follow these steps:
The exam happens in two stages:
Tier 1 is a computer based test with 100 questions for 200 marks. You get 1 hour to finish it. Questions are objective MCQ type and the paper comes in both Hindi and English (except the English Comprehension part obviously).
Tier 2 is for candidates who clear Tier 1, and it's scheduled for December 2026.
One more thing, SSC has said scores will be normalised if the exam is held in multiple shifts. So no one gets an unfair advantage.
If you're a graduate and looking for a sarkari naukri in 2026, SSC CGL is genuinely one of the best options out there. 12,000+ vacancies is a big number. Just make sure your documents are ready, photo, signature, marksheets, so you don't get stuck at the last step. Apply before June 22. Don't overthink it, just do it.
