This year, the Commission went way ahead with such restrictions and took an undertaking from the candidates to not share the details stated in SSC CGL answer key.

The Commission conducted SSC CGL Tier 1 exam from September 12 to 26 and on October 14. The Commission released a notice mentioning that the publishing of SSC CGL 2025 exam analyisis will be punishable under the Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024 (PEA Act, 2024).
