Shankar Banking Academy: Best SSC CGL Coaching Classes in Chennai

Exam Scheme :

The Computer Based Examination will be conducted in two tiers as indicated below:

• Tier-I
• Tier-II

Marks scored by candidates in Computer Based Examinations, if conducted in multiple shifts, will be normalized by using the formula published by the Commission and such normalized scores will be used to determine final merit and cut-off marks.

• Tier-II will include conducting of Paper-I & Paper-II in separate shift(s)/ day(s).
• Paper-I is compulsory for all the posts.
• Paper-II will be for only those candidates who apply for the posts of Junior Statistical Officer (JSO) in the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation and Statistical Investigator Grade-II in the office of Registrar General of India (M/o Home Affairs) and who are shortlisted in Tier-I for these Posts.
• Paper-I will be conducted in two sessions - Session –I & Session-II, on same day.
• After the completion of Session-I, the candidates will get a break for re-registration for Session-II.

It will be mandatory for the candidates to qualify all the sections of Paper-I.

• Tier-II (Paper-I & Paper-II) will consist of Objective Type, Multiple choice questions, except for Module-II of Section-III of Paper-I. The questions will be set both in English & Hindi except for English Language and Comprehension module in Section-II of Paper-I.
• Module-I of Section-III of Paper-I i.e. Computer Knowledge Test is mandatory but qualifying in nature.

Module-II of Section-III of Paper-I i.e. Data Entry Speed Test (DEST):

Module-II of Section-III of Paper-I will include conducting of a Data Entry Speed Test (DEST) for a duration of 15 minutes in Session- II on the same day.

The “Data Entry Speed Test” (DEST) Skill Test will be conducted for a passage of about 2000 (two thousand) key depressions for a duration of 15 (fifteen) minutes. Detailed instructions regarding Skill Test will be provided by the Regional Offices of the Commission. Information about evaluation of Typing Test/DEST are available on the Commission’s new website https://ssc.gov.in (‘For Candidates’).

DEST will be mandatory for all the posts; however, it will be qualifying in nature.

While shortlisting the candidates for the posts where either Computer Proficiency is prescribed or where DEST is prescribed viz. Tax Assistant in CBIC, Tax Assistant in CBDT, and UDC/ SSA in Central Bureau of Narcotics (Ministry of Finance) etc., higher qualifying standards will be set in comparison to other posts

DEST will be conducted in the manner decided by the Commission for the purpose

Mode of Selection:

Minimum qualifying marks in Tier-I, Section-I, Section-II & Module-I of Section-III of Paper-I of Tier-II & Paper-II of Tier-II Examination are as follows:

Maximum percentage of errors allowed (i.e. minimum qualifying standards) in Module-II of Section-III of Paper-I of Tier-II Examination (only for SSC CGL) i.e. DEST are as follows:

• Based on the marks scored in Tier-I i.e. Computer Based Examination, candidates will be shortlisted, category-wise, to appear in Tier-II Examination.
• Tier-II Examination will be conducted for all the candidates qualified in Tier-I. In Tier-II, all the candidates will be required to appear in all three sections of Paper-I. However, only those candidates shortlisted for the posts of Junior Statistical Officer/ Statistical Investigator Grade-II will be required to appear in Paper-II.
• Separate cut-offs will be fixed for the post of Junior Statistical Officer for appearing in Paper-I & Paper-II of Tier-II, for the post of Statistical Investigator Grade-II for appearing in Paper-I & Paper-II of Tier-II and for all other posts for appearing in Paper-I of Tier-II.

• Only male candidates are eligible for the vacancy(ies), if any reported, in the Border Roads Organization (BRO).

Physical Efficiency Test

Certain Posts in SSC CGL have mandatory requirements of physical and medical standards including Physical Efficiency Test (Refer to Notification). Examination of such physical and medical standards will be conducted after the final selection of candidates by the User Department concerned. If a candidate fails in such tests, his candidature will not be subsequently considered for any other post/ department. Candidates are therefore required to carefully go through these requirements and give their considered preference of posts.

Merit list will be prepared on the basis of overall performance of candidates in Tier-II Examination only
