Everything you need to know about SSC CGL 2026 – tier-wise syllabus, strategy and cut-offs.

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) is one of the most sought-after examinations for securing premium government jobs. Let's break down the structure and syllabus for 2026 beginners.

Exam Structure

SSC CGL consists of a Tier 1 (qualifying exam testing Quant, Reasoning, English, and General Awareness) and Tier 2 (advanced computer-based test that determines final selection). Both tiers require a balance of quick calculation speed and deep general awareness.

General Studies Strategy

General Studies (GS) is often the make-or-break section. Focus on revising Indian Polity, Modern History, and Geography. Spend 30 minutes daily on current affairs. Revise standard books like Laxmikant for Polity and NCERT notes for Science.
