Government & Defence Entrance Exam

The SSC CGL cutoff varies for the Tier 1 and Tier 2 exams because they are at different levels of difficulty and have different objectives. Tier 1 is a screening test that is an objective-type test, generally with a lower cutoff, and it is used for shortlisting candidates for Tier 2. Tier 2 is more advanced, consisting of multiple papers, and hence has a higher cutoff. Tier 2 has a higher difficulty level, and it is essential to qualify for the final round. The total SSC CGL selection depends upon the aggregate performance in the two exams, that is, the Tier 1 and Tier 2 exams.

The SSC CGL Tier 1 test consists of 4 sections: General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, and English Comprehension. All these sections have 50 questions. Each question is for 2 marks. In total, the test is to be completed in 60 minutes, and the maximum score would be 200. Negative marking is applicable at every wrong answer, and for that, 0.5 marks are deducted. Unattempted questions are not deduced. The Tier 1 exam is computer-based, and the candidate should score well in all areas of the test to qualify to take the Tier 2 exam.
