The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is soon expected to release the admit cards for the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Tier 2 examination. Students who have successfully cleared the Tier 1 exam are eagerly awaiting this important document. The SSC CGL Tier 2 exams are scheduled to take place on January 18 and 19, 2025 . Candidates must download their admit card from the official website, ssc.gov.in , and bring a printed copy to the exam centre.
This admit card acts as your entry ticket to the examination hall. Without it, you will not be allowed to take the test. It is crucial for all eligible candidates to download it as soon as it is released and check all details carefully.
What is SSC CGL?
The Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (SSC CGL) examination is a major national-level test in India. It is held to select candidates for various government job roles. These roles are in different Ministries, Departments, and Organisations under the Government of India. Many young people aspire to join government service, and the CGL exam is a key pathway to achieve that dream. The examination process typically involves multiple stages, or 'Tiers'.
SSC CGL Tier 2 Exam Dates and Overview
The Tier 2 exam is the second important stage of the SSC CGL selection process. It is a computer-based test (CBE), meaning you will take the exam on a computer.
- The Tier 2 exams will be held on January 18, 2025 , and January 19, 2025 .
- The earlier Tier 1 exam for this cycle was conducted from September 12 to 26, 2024 , and also on October 14, 2024 .
Before the admit card, SSC had released a 'City Intimation Slip' for the Tier 2 exam. This slip informed candidates about the city where their exam centre would be located. However, the City Intimation Slip is not the actual admit card and cannot be used for entry to the exam hall.
