What is the SSC CGL Exam?
The SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) examination is a national-level exam in India. It is held to recruit staff for various Group B and Group C posts in different Ministries, Departments, and Organizations of the Indian Government. This exam is popular among graduates seeking government jobs. The selection process usually involves multiple stages, or 'Tiers'. Tier 1 is generally a computer-based test that checks general intelligence, reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English comprehension, and general awareness. Tier 2 is the next stage for those who clear Tier 1.
Understanding Cut-Off Marks
Cut-off marks are the minimum scores a candidate must achieve to qualify for the next stage of an examination. These marks are decided based on several factors: the total number of candidates who appeared for the exam, how difficult the exam was, and the number of vacancies available for each post. Candidates who score at or above these cut-off marks for their specific category and post are considered qualified for the next stage.
