SSC Combined Graduate Level recruitment covers notified graduate-level posts in participating central government departments and organisations. Post preferences matter because duties, qualifications and standards can differ. Read the post list before selecting preferences.
Eligibility checklist
A graduate qualification is the general educational starting point, but some posts require specified subjects or additional qualifications. Age bands and relaxations depend on the post and category. Check nationality, the qualification cutoff date and any physical or medical standards in the current notice.
Selection stages and exam pattern
Preparation centres on quantitative aptitude, reasoning, English and general awareness. Tier II includes additional components and post-specific requirements under the relevant scheme. Use the current notice to check sessions, qualifying modules, computer knowledge and any data-entry requirements.
Subject-wise syllabus map
Quantitative aptitude: percentages, ratio, profit and loss, interest, time and work, speed, algebra, geometry, mensuration and data interpretation. Reasoning: series, analogy, coding, relations, directions and non-verbal questions. English: grammar, vocabulary, comprehension and sentence improvement. Awareness: history, geography, science, polity and current events.
How to prepare: from concepts to timed practice
Start with a diagnostic set to identify slow topics. Build arithmetic accuracy before attempting shortcuts. Study one grammar rule with examples each day, then complete a short passage. Alternate reasoning topics rather than repeating only your strongest type. After basic coverage, switch to mixed timed sets and previous papers.
A practical daily timetable
Use 60 minutes for mathematics, 35 for reasoning, 35 for English, 30 for awareness and 20 for reviewing mistakes. Schedule computer and data-entry practice where the notified post requires it. Keep a weekly log of accuracy and average time per question.
Attempt strategy and mistake analysis
Read units and rounding instructions before calculating. Use estimation to reject impossible options. For grammar questions, identify the subject and verb first. Review both incorrect answers and correct answers that took too long; a lucky correct answer is still a learning gap.
After the exam: results and next steps
After the written stages, follow official instructions for preferences, document verification and any post-specific checks. Preserve qualification and category documents in the required format. This foundation bank supports revision and is not a complete simulation of every SSC CGL tier.
A flexible 12-week preparation plan
Weeks 1–2: read the syllabus, take a diagnostic set and organise your study material. Weeks 3–6: study core topics and practise immediately after each lesson. Weeks 7–9: finish gaps and mix topics to test recall. Weeks 10–11: solve timed papers and review each mistake. Week 12: revise short notes, formulas and weak areas. This is a planning template, not a promise of readiness in 12 weeks; extend it if you are starting from the basics.
Application and document checklist
Open the official notification from the authority website. Record the application window, correction window, fee rules and examination dates in your own calendar. Prepare the requested identity, educational and category documents, photograph and signature in the stated formats. Check spelling and dates before submission, save the confirmation page and payment acknowledgement, and never share passwords or verification codes. Fees, dates and vacancy counts are not fixed in this guide because they can change by cycle.
Resources and revision system
Use the official syllabus as your checklist and official previous papers where provided. Start with the relevant school or subject textbooks, then add one reliable practice source per subject. Keep three short lists: concepts to relearn, facts or formulas to recall, and methods that need speed practice. Revisit mistakes after a day, a week and a month. Avoid collecting more books than you can revise. The reference library on this site can support formula and grammar revision.
How the 100-question practice works
Choose a batch of 10, 20, 50 or 100 displayed questions. You do not have to answer every question. Submit to see feedback only for the questions you attempted; unanswered solutions stay hidden. Continue opens the next questions without restarting. Save & stop preserves the current selections. Sign in to keep progress across devices and bookmark questions or tools. Reset clears progress for this exam after explicit confirmation. Scoring here is +1 for a correct answer and zero otherwise, rather than the official examination marking scheme.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an official examination website? No; it is an independent study resource. Are the questions previous-year questions? No; they are original foundation practice, with some shared core topics across related exams. Does completing 100 questions cover the whole syllabus? No; use the full syllabus and deeper practice to identify remaining gaps. Where should I check dates, age limits, fees and results? Open the authority notice linked in the official-information column. Can I stop after 10 questions? Yes; submit or save, then return to your existing progress. Are updates guaranteed to be complete? No; the column extracts matching official links and shows freshness or failure status, so the authority website remains the source of record.
