SSC CGL Cut Off 2024
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has been releasing the cut-off marks for the SSC CGL Tier 1 Examination along with the results in the previous years. However, it is important that from the SSC CGL 2022 examination onwards, the Tier 1 examination has become a qualifying stage, and the marks obtained in Tier 1 do not contribute to the final merit list. Before 2022, the Tier 1 marks were used for the calculation of the final merit list. This meant that the Tier 1 cut-off played a crucial role in determining the selection of candidates but now the selection of candidates is based solely on their performance in the Tier 2 examination.

Factors Affecting SSC CGL Cut Off 2024
In the entire recruitment process, many dimensions influence the overall outcome. The SSC CGSL Cut Off 2024 will be released for each stage of the selection process separately. The marks obtained by the candidates in the computer-based exams are only one aspect of this process. The score in Tier I is finalized by officials of SSC keeping these four factors in mind:
- The number of candidates who appeared in the exam: The SSC CGL cut off is influenced by the total number of candidates who participated. If more candidates appear, the competition is higher, and the cut-off might rise.
- Total number of vacancies: The number of vacancies plays a very crucial role in determining the cutoff marks. If there are fewer vacancies, the competition becomes intense, potentially raising the cut-off.
- The complexity level of the examination [Normalization]: The normalization process is applied to adjust for variations in difficulty levels across different shifts or sessions. If one session is tougher than another, the scores are normalized to ensure fairness.
- Difficulty Level Of the Examination: If the level of the questions in the exam is really difficult, it can make it tougher for people to get high scores. So, in that case, the cut-off (the minimum score required) might be set lower.
How to clear SSC CGL Cut Off?
The candidates preparing for the SSC CGL Exam 2024 will have to appear for both the Tier 1 and Tier 2 stages of the selection process. Hence, they should have a proper preparation strategy that they need to follow in order to score more than the cutoff marks in both stages.
