SSC CGL 2025 Final Result Out – Download Roll Number Wise List, Cutoff Marks & Selection Status at ssc.gov.in

The Staff Selection Commission declared the SSC CGL 2025 Final Result on 14 May 2026 at the official portal ssc.gov.in. The result has been published in three separate PDF lists based on pay level classification: List 1 contains roll numbers of candidates selected for Pay Level 7 posts (ASO, Inspector positions), List 2 for Pay Level 6 posts (JSO, Executive Assistant, Research Assistant), and List 3 for Pay Level 5 and Level 4 posts (Auditor, Accountant, Tax Assistant, Postal Assistant, UDC). Candidates can download these PDFs directly from the Results section of ssc.gov.in without requiring any login credentials – simply open the PDF and search for your Tier II roll number using Ctrl+F.

To check your selection status, visit ssc.gov.in and navigate to the Results section. Download the result PDF list corresponding to the pay level of the post you applied for (Level 7 / Level 6 / Level 5-4). Open the PDF file and use the search function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Cmd+F on Mac) to search for your Tier II roll number. If your roll number appears in the list along with the post name and department, you are selected and will proceed to document verification. Roll numbers are listed category-wise (General, EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST) in ascending order within each category. Unlike Tier I and Tier II results, the final result does not require login – it is a public PDF document containing only roll numbers and post allocations.

Category-wise and post-wise cutoff marks for SSC CGL 2025 have been published in a separate PDF notice along with the final result on 14 May 2026. The cutoff PDF is available in the official links section on ssc.gov.in. Cutoff marks represent the minimum combined Tier I + Tier II normalized score required for selection in each category (UR/EWS/OBC-NCL/SC/ST) for each post. Cutoff marks vary significantly by post – Pay Level 7 posts (ASO, Inspector) have higher cutoffs compared to Level 4 posts (Tax Assistant, UDC, Postal Assistant). Posts with fewer vacancies and higher competition typically have higher cutoff marks. Download the official cutoff PDF to view exact numerical cutoff marks for your post and category.

After the final result declaration, selected candidates proceed to Document Verification (DV) which is conducted separately by each appointing authority rather than centrally by SSC. The appointing authority depends on the post allocated to you – for example, CBDT conducts DV for Income Tax Inspectors, CBIC for Central Excise Inspectors and Preventive Officers, CBI for Sub Inspectors, individual ministries for their Assistant Section Officer posts, and so on. Each department will send a DV call letter directly to the candidate via registered email and SMS (to the email and mobile number provided during application) within 2 to 6 weeks of the result declaration. The DV call letter specifies the date, time, venue, and complete list of required original documents. Candidates must report to the designated DV venue on the specified date with all original certificates plus self-attested photocopies. The DV schedule varies by department and may be conducted in multiple batches depending on the number of selected candidates for that post.

For document verification, selected candidates must carry the following original documents: (1) Class 10 certificate or marksheet for date of birth proof, (2) All Bachelor's degree semester/year marksheets and degree certificate or provisional certificate, (3) Class 12 marksheet if post-specific eligibility requires it, (4) Caste certificate in central government format if claiming SC/ST/OBC reservation – for OBC candidates the certificate must contain Non-Creamy Layer clause and be issued after 01 April 2025 for financial year 2024-25, (5) EWS certificate in central government format issued after 01 April 2025 for FY 2024-25 if claiming EWS reservation, (6) PwD certificate from Medical Board if claiming disability reservation, (7) Ex-Servicemen discharge certificate and PPO if applicable, (8) Aadhaar card (mandatory), PAN card, Voter ID or Driving License or Passport, (9) Two character certificates from gazetted officers (not relatives) on letterhead, (10) Final submitted application form printout from SSC portal, (11) Option/preference form printout, and (12) 6-10 recent passport size color photographs. Additionally, carry one set of self-attested photocopies of all documents. If name on educational certificates differs from application form, carry a name affidavit on stamp paper sworn before magistrate or notary.

SSC CGL 2025 selected candidates are placed in Pay Level 4, 5, 6, or 7 of the 7th Central Pay Commission depending on the post. Pay Level 7 posts (ASO, Inspector of Income Tax, Central Excise Inspector, Sub Inspector CBI) have a basic pay range of ₹44,900 to ₹1,42,400 with an estimated in-hand salary of ₹55,000–₹65,000 per month in metro cities. Pay Level 6 posts (JSO, Executive Assistant, Research Assistant, Divisional Accountant) have a basic pay of ₹35,400 to ₹1,12,400 with in-hand salary around ₹45,000–₹53,000. Pay Level 5 posts (Auditor, Accountant) start at ₹29,200 basic with in-hand salary of ₹38,000–₹46,000. Pay Level 4 posts (Tax Assistant, Postal Assistant, UDC) start at ₹25,500 basic with in-hand salary of ₹33,000–₹40,000. In addition to basic pay, employees receive Dearness Allowance at 50% of basic, HRA at 8% to 24% based on city class, Transport Allowance, medical benefits through CGHS, LTC, Children Education Allowance, NPS pension, and other central government benefits. Certain posts also receive special duty allowances – for example, Intelligence Bureau operatives receive Special Security Allowance at 20% of basic pay, and CBIC field officers receive Field Allowance at 10-15% of basic pay.

No, post preference and posting location cannot be changed after the final result declaration. The final result is based on the post preference order (Option Form) that candidates submitted in March 2026 after the Tier II answer key objection period closed. SSC allocates posts to selected candidates based on their merit rank within the category, vacancy availability for each post, and the preference order filled by the candidate. If you indicated a particular post (say, Inspector of Income Tax) as your first preference and you were allotted that post in the final result, you cannot request a change to another post (say, Auditor or Tax Assistant) after result declaration. Similarly, posting location is determined by the appointing authority (CBDT, CBIC, CBI, respective ministry) based on operational requirements and cannot be changed at the candidate's request. However, after joining, employees may apply for internal transfers after completing the mandatory initial posting tenure (typically 2-3 years), subject to departmental transfer policy and availability of vacancies at the desired location.

Medical examination is mandatory for selected candidates but the standards vary by post category. For clerical and administrative posts (Tax Assistant, UDC, Postal Assistant, Senior Secretariat Assistant, Accountant, Auditor), the medical examination is a basic fitness test covering vision, hearing, general physical fitness, and freedom from communicable diseases – the standards are not stringent. However, for enforcement and field posts – including Inspector of Income Tax, Central Excise Inspector, Preventive Officer, Sub Inspector (CBI/NCB/NIA), and Assistant Enforcement Officer – the medical standards are more rigorous and include specific requirements. Male candidates for these posts typically need minimum height of 157.5 cm, minimum chest measurement of 81 cm with 5 cm expansion, and vision standards of 6/6 in one eye and 6/9 in the other eye without correction. Female candidates have relaxed height requirements (152 cm minimum) and chest standards do not apply. For certain sensitive posts like CBI Sub Inspector and Intelligence Bureau ASO, psychological fitness assessment is also conducted as part of the medical examination to evaluate stress tolerance, emotional stability, and decision-making under pressure. Detailed medical standards are specified in the document verification call letter issued by the appointing authority.

Selected candidates join on probation for a period of 2 years from the date of joining. During probation, performance is assessed through periodic reviews, and the appointing authority can extend probation by 6 months to 1 year if performance is found unsatisfactory, or in rare cases, terminate the appointment if the candidate is found completely unsuitable for the post. For enforcement posts (CBI Sub Inspector, IB ASO, NCB Sub Inspector, Enforcement Officer), additional field verification and background checks continue during probation – candidates carry a Provisional (P) designation until clearance is complete, which can take 6-12 months. After successful completion of probation and receiving the probation completion order, the employee is confirmed in service and becomes a permanent central government employee. Once confirmed, job security is very high – termination from service is extremely rare and possible only after due process involving charge-sheet, departmental inquiry, and defence opportunity. Central government employees enjoy strong job protection under CCS (Central Civil Services) Conduct Rules and cannot be dismissed arbitrarily. Promotion prospects exist through departmental promotion examinations and time-bound career progression to higher pay levels. Post-confirmation, employees are also eligible for pension benefits under the National Pension System (NPS) with 14% employer contribution (10% NPS + 4% matching contribution).

Name mismatch between educational certificates and the SSC application form is a common issue, especially for candidates whose name spelling was corrected over time, or for female candidates whose surname changed after marriage. Minor spelling variations (for example, "Kumar" vs "Kumarr", "Sharma" vs "Sharmaa") are generally acceptable if the core name is recognizably the same. However, significant differences or completely different names require legal documentation. If there is a name mismatch, you must carry a Name Affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper of ₹10 or ₹20 value (depending on state rules) sworn before a First Class Magistrate or Notary Public. The affidavit must clearly state: (a) your current name as per application form, (b) your previous name as per educational certificates, (c) a declaration that both names refer to the same person (you), and (d) the reason for the name change (spelling correction, marriage, gazette notification, etc.). If the name change was due to marriage, attach a copy of the marriage certificate. If it was through a gazette notification, attach a copy of the gazette. If it was an ad-hoc correction, the affidavit alone is sufficient. Carry the original affidavit along with a photocopy for document verification. Most appointing authorities accept name affidavits if properly executed – rejection due to name mismatch is rare as long as you provide the affidavit proactively during DV.

No, SC/ST/OBC/EWS candidates cannot use old certificates issued before 01 April 2025 for SSC CGL 2025 document verification. This is a strict and non-negotiable requirement. For OBC-NCL (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates, the caste certificate must be issued after 01 April 2025 for the financial year 2024-25 and must contain the Non-Creamy Layer clause explicitly stating that the candidate does not belong to the creamy layer as per central government guidelines. An OBC certificate issued in 2024 or early 2025 but for financial year 2023-24 will be rejected even if it is recent – the financial year mentioned on the certificate is what matters, not the date of issue. Similarly, EWS (Economically Weaker Section) candidates must produce an EWS certificate in the prescribed central government format issued after 01 April 2025 for financial year 2024-25. The certificate must confirm that the candidate's family gross annual income is below ₹8 lakh and the family does not own more than 5 acres of agricultural land or a residential flat of 1000 sq ft or more. Old EWS certificates from 2024 for FY 2023-24 are invalid. SC and ST candidates have more flexibility – since SC/ST status is based on birth and does not have annual income criteria, an older caste certificate is acceptable as long as it is issued by a competent authority in the prescribed central government format. However, even SC/ST candidates are advised to obtain a fresh certificate to avoid any potential complications during DV. The issuing authority for caste and EWS certificates is typically the Tehsildar, Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), or District Magistrate (DM) depending on state rules. Apply for renewal at least 2 months before your expected DV date to account for processing delays.

Career growth and promotion prospects for SSC CGL selected candidates are structured and well-defined through departmental promotion policies. After joining at Pay Level 4, 5, 6, or 7, employees receive an annual increment of 3% of basic pay every year on 1st July. Promotion to the next higher pay level typically occurs after completing 4-8 years of service, subject to departmental promotion examination (DPE) and availability of vacancies. For example, Tax Assistants (Level 4) are promoted to Income Tax Inspector (Level 7) after approximately 8-10 years through competitive departmental exam and seniority-cum-merit basis. Auditors (Level 5) are promoted to Senior Auditor / Audit Officer (Level 8) after 8-12 years. Inspectors (Level 7) such as Income Tax Inspector, Central Excise Inspector, CBI Sub Inspector are promoted to Assistant Commissioner / Deputy Superintendent (Level 10) after 8-15 years of service depending on department and performance. Each department (CBDT, CBIC, CBI, C&AG, Department of Posts, etc.) has its own promotion policy but the general pattern is similar – progression from entry level to mid-level officer positions (Level 10-11) within 15-20 years of service is standard for meritorious employees. Senior-level positions (Level 12 and above) such as Deputy Commissioner, Joint Commissioner, and Additional Commissioner are reached after 20-25 years of service, typically through a combination of seniority, merit, and departmental selection committees. Unlike private sector where promotion is entirely merit-based and fast-tracked for high performers, central government promotions follow a structured timeline but provide stable career progression and job security. Additionally, lateral career movements are possible – employees can appear for UPSC examinations (Civil Services, Indian Revenue Service, Indian Audit and Accounts Service) while in service to transition to higher Group A positions, or apply for deputation opportunities to other ministries and public sector undertakings.
