SSC CGL Cut Off Marks (Previous Years)
SSC CGL cut-off marks change every year depending on paper difficulty, number of vacancies, and number of candidates. The figures below are from officially published results in recent years — use them to set a realistic score target, not as a guarantee for the next exam.
How to use these cut-offs
- Compare your mock test scores with the General category cut-off first, then your reservation category.
- Tier-1 cut-off qualifies you for Tier-2; final merit uses normalized marks across tiers.
- Post-wise cut-offs (Inspector, Auditor, etc.) can be higher than the overall qualifying score.

FAQs
Does SSC CGL have sectional cut-off in Tier-1?
Yes. SSC usually applies minimum qualifying marks per section (Reasoning, GA, Quant, English) in addition to the overall cut-off. Read the notification for exact sectional limits.
Is Tier-1 cut-off enough for final selection?
No. Tier-1 only shortlists for Tier-2. Final merit is based on combined normalized scores of Tier-1, Tier-2, and Tier-3 (where applicable) plus document verification.
