SSC CGL 2025 Exam will Clash with UPSC Main Exam: Check Details Here

The SSC CGL Tier 1 exam 2025 will be conducted from August 13 to 30, 2025. The candidates should note that the UPSC Civil Service Main Exam 2025 will be conducted from August 22 onwards. The candidates can see below the cases.

SSC CGL Vs UPSC Exam Dates

The Staff Selection Commission is expected to conduct the SSC Combined Graduate Level Exam 2025 from August 13, 2025. The Commission will conduct the SSC CGL 2025 exam in multiple shifts and on multiple days except on August 15, which is a national holiday. The Commission is expected to release the SSC CGL 2025 Exam Schedule soon on its official website – ssc.gov.in.

The Staff Selection Commission released the tentative SSC CGL exam dates in its official exam calendar, but the Commission is yet to release the SSC CGL exam schedule to confirm the Tier 1 exam dates. The candidates should note one thing that the Union Public Service Commission is also conducting the UPSC Civil Service (IAS) Main exam 2025 from August 22, onwards. It will conduct the Civil Services Mains exam on Aug 22, 23, 24, 30 and 31.

Therefore, there will be a clash of dates for the candidates who will be appearing in both exams. There will be two possibilities. We can see both the cases below:

Case 1: The candidates who will be appearing in the SSC CGL and UPSC Civil Service Exam will be required to send representations to the SSC regarding their exam clash with the Civil Service Exam. The Commission will reassign the exam date of such candidates to further date. It means that the Commission will be required to conduct the SSC CGL Tier 1 exam after August 31, 2025.

Case 2: The Commission will not conduct the SSC CGL exam on the days on which the Civil Service Main exam will be conducted. It means that there will be no SSC CGL Tier 1 exam on August 22, 23, 24, 30 and 31. This is a very difficult preposition because the Commission cannot do this. 

Case 3: The Commission can postpone the SSC CGL Tier 1 exam all together. The Commission can postpone the SSC CGL 2025 exam and release new dates for the SSC CGL exam 2025. 
The candidates are advised to wait for the official communication of the Staff Selection Commission.
