The wait for lakhs of aspirants has finally ended as the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) published the Tier-I result of the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2025 on February 27, 2026.

1. SSC CHSL 2025 Recruitment: Important Dates

The 2025 recruitment cycle has reached its most critical phase. Below is the updated timeline of the examination process:

2. Normalization and Qualifying Marks

Since the Tier-I examination was conducted in multiple shifts from November 12th to November 30th, the Commission applied a normalization formula (published on 02.06.2025) to account for variations in the difficulty levels of the question papers. These normalized scores have been used to determine the final cut-offs.

Minimum Qualifying Marks (Tier-I)

As per the official notification (Para 17.1), candidates had to secure a minimum percentage to be considered for shortlisting:

• Unreserved (UR): 30%

• OBC / EWS: 25%

• All Other Categories (SC/ST/PwBD/ESM): 20%

Note: Meeting these minimum marks does not guarantee a place in Tier-II; candidates must also clear the category-wise cut-offs mentioned below.

3. Post-wise Cut-Off Details (List 1, 2, and 3)

The SSC has fixed separate cut-offs for different groups of posts based on the job requirements and the number of vacancies.
