The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is expected to announce the results for the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Tier 1 exam 2025 by the second week of December 2025 . This update is important for lakhs of students who took the exam. While an exact date has not been officially released, past trends and statements from the SSC Chairman suggest a release around mid-December .
What is the SSC CGL Exam?
The SSC CGL exam is a national-level test held by the Staff Selection Commission. It helps select candidates for various Group ‘B’ and Group ‘C’ government jobs in different Ministries, Departments, and Organizations of the Indian Government. Many young people dream of working in government, and SSC CGL is a popular way to achieve this.
For the **2025** exam, over **28 lakh** candidates registered. Out of these, more than **13.5 lakh** students actually appeared for the Tier 1 examination. These students are now eagerly waiting for their results.
SSC CGL Tier 1 Result Date Details
The SSC CGL Tier 1 exam for **2025** was held from September 12 to September 26, 2025 . Usually, the SSC takes about two and a half months to declare the Tier 1 results after the last day of the exam. Following this pattern, the results are expected in mid-December .
The Chairman of the Staff Selection Commission had earlier confirmed that the CGL Tier 1 results would be declared in December 2025 . Along with the results, SSC will also release the cut-off marks for different posts and categories. These cut-off marks show the minimum score needed to qualify for the next stage of the exam.
Past Years' SSC CGL Tier 1 Result Dates
To understand the expected release date better, here is a look at when results were announced in previous years:
| Years | Tier 1 Exam Dates | Tier 1 Result Date | Days Between |
| 2025 | Sept 12 to 26, 2025 | Mid-December (Expected) | – |
| 2024 | Sept 9 to 26, 2024 | December 5, 2024 | 70 |
| 2023 | July 14 to 27, 2023 | September 19, 2023 | 54 |
| 2022 | December 1 to 13, 2022 | March 3, 2023 | 80 |
| 2021 | April 11 to 21, 2022 | July 4, 2022 | 74 |
As the table shows, there has been a trend of releasing results around 2 to 2.5 months after the exam. This makes the **mid-December 2025** expectation for the current year's results quite reliable.
Understanding Cut-Off Marks
When the results are out, the Staff Selection Commission also publishes "cut-off marks". These are the minimum scores candidates must achieve to qualify for the next stage of the selection process. The cut-off marks vary for different job posts and categories (like General, OBC, SC, ST). Candidates who score equal to or more than the cut-off mark will be eligible to appear for the Tier 2 exam.
What Happens After Tier 1 Result?
Candidates who pass the Tier 1 exam will then need to appear for the SSC CGL Tier 2 exam. This is the next step in the selection process. The Tier 1 exam acts as a screening test to narrow down the large number of applicants. Only those who clear Tier 1 will get a chance to move closer to their dream government job.
