The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is anticipated to announce the Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL) Tier 1 results shortly on its official website, ssc.gov.in. The results, expected in late January 2026, will be released in PDF format, containing the roll numbers and names of candidates who have qualified for the Tier 2 examination.
The SSC CHSL 2025 examination was conducted from November 12 to November 30, 2025. The Commission released the provisional answer key on December 8, 2025, and accepted objections until December 11, 2025. Following a review of the challenges raised, the final answer key has been prepared, and the result is based on it. It is expected that the results will be declared by the final week of January 2026. Along with the result PDF, the SSC will also publish category-wise cut-off marks. The result document will include the roll numbers, names, and parents' names of the candidates.
Candidates who clear the Tier 1 exam will be eligible to appear for the Tier 2 examination. The Tier 2 examination is tentatively scheduled for February–March 2026. The exact dates will be notified after the Tier 1 results are announced. The SSC hopes to admit 3,131 individuals for various posts in different departments. These posts are at the 10+2 level.
The SSC has revised the Tier 2 exam pattern for the CHSL 2025 cycle. The Tier 2 exam will be conducted in two sessions on the same day and will consist of three sections with two modules each. Session I includes Section I (Mathematical Abilities and Reasoning and General Intelligence), Section II (English Language and Comprehension and General Awareness), and Section III (Computer Knowledge). Session II includes a Skill Test/Typing Test.
Most questions will be objective-type multiple choice, except for the skill or typing test. The Tier 2 exam pattern includes two sessions. Session I consists of objective-type questions covering Mathematical Abilities, Reasoning, English Language, General Awareness, and Computer Knowledge, totaling 135 questions for 405 marks. Session II is a 15-minute Skill Test/Typing Test. Part A is for DEOs, and Part B is for LDC/JSA posts.
The marks scored in Tier 1 determine eligibility for Tier 2. Overall performance across all stages determines the final result.
Regarding the marking scheme, in Tier 1, each correct answer carries +2 marks, while there is a negative marking of -0.5 marks for each incorrect answer. In Tier 2, each correct answer carries +3 marks, and there is a negative marking of -1 mark for each incorrect answer in Sections 1, 2, and Module 1 of Section 3. Therefore, candidates must prioritize accuracy.
For the skill test, DEOs are expected to have 8,000–15,000 key depressions per hour, while for LDC/JSA, the expectation is 10,500 key depressions per hour.
