Why SSC CGL 2025 Exam Postponed?

SSC claimed that the Supreme Court had directed SSC to implement certain reforms in the manner in which Computer Based Examinations are conducted. In compliance with these orders, SSC has decided to work on the revised model of conducting CBEs starting with the Selection Posts/Phase XIII Exams, 2025. The exam was held at 194 venues across the country from July 24 to August 1, 2025. Out of 11.50 lakh applicants, over 5.50 lakh candidates had taken these exams at Matric, Higher Secondary and Graduate levels. However during the exam, many candidates reported about certain disruptions in terms of technical factors and operational reasons.

SSC has identified those 55000 candidates who were affected due to the technical glitch in the exam. These candidates have been given an opportunity to take the test again on August 29, 2025. The admit card of these candidates will be issued from August 26, 2025. The previous test of these candidates held from July 24 to August 2, 2025 will not be taken into consideration.

The Commission had introduced Aadhaar authentication and Exam Functionaries in order to tackle impersonation and related malpractices.

In view of this, the Commission has also decided to conduct a rigorous evaluation of the exam platform and operational readiness. Therefore, SSC decided to defer the conduct of SSC CGL 2025 exam, scheduled to be held from August 13, 2025 onwards.
