SSC CGL 2025 exam date tier 1
On September 3rd, SSC released an official notice on its website informing all candidates that the SSC CGL 2025 exam tier 1 will begin from September 12 and will conclude on September 26. The exam will run for approximately 15 days and will be conducted in three shifts daily.
Background: Postponement and Vendor Change
Due to ongoing issues in recent months, the exam has been postponed twice. In March, SSC changed its vendor from TCS to Ediiquity, which led to a one-month postponement of all SSC exams. However, due to poor conditions under the new vendor, students raised their voices in protest. Many SSC teachers also supported the students, and a protest was held in Delhi.
Following this, some teachers met with the DoPT Minister, who assured them that all issues would be carefully reviewed and resolved. As a result, the SSC CGL exam, which was originally scheduled to begin on August 12, was postponed to September 12.
