SSC CHSL Cut Off Marks (Previous Years)
SSC CHSL (Combined Higher Secondary Level) attracts massive applications because the minimum qualification is 12th pass. Cut-offs are usually lower than CGL in raw marks but competition is intense — even a few marks matter at the border.
How to use these cut-offs
- Target at least 10–15 marks above the previous General cut-off in mocks for a safer buffer.
- Typing/data entry tests after Tier-2 can disqualify candidates who clear written stages — practice early.

FAQs
What is a safe score for SSC CHSL Tier-1?
There is no fixed safe score — it depends on vacancies and paper level. Historically, 145+ normalized marks in General category has been comfortable in many years, but always aim relative to the latest published cut-off.
