SSC Announces CHSL 2025 Tier-I Results with Nearly 40,000 Qualifiers
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially declared the results for the Combined Higher Secondary Level Examination (CHSL) 2025 Tier-I, marking a significant milestone in the recruitment process. A total of 39,901 candidates have successfully qualified to advance to the next stage, bringing them one step closer to securing government positions.
Examination Details and Normalization Process
The computer-based Tier-I examination was conducted across the nation from November 12 to November 30, 2025, in multiple shifts to accommodate the large number of applicants. To ensure fairness and parity among candidates who appeared in different sessions, SSC officials implemented a rigorous normalization process using a prescribed statistical formula. This method adjusts scores to account for variations in difficulty levels across shifts, maintaining the integrity of the selection process.
Category-Wise Minimum Qualifying Marks and Cut-Offs
The commission has established clear minimum qualifying marks for various categories, which candidates must meet to proceed. For the general category, the threshold is set at 30%, while Other Backward Classes (OBC) and Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) candidates require 25%. Candidates belonging to other reserved categories need to achieve 20% to qualify.
Specific cut-off marks for different posts have been detailed as follows:
- LDC/JSA and Clerk-cum-Typist Posts: The general category cut-off is 144.25858 marks, with OBC at 143.83055 marks and EWS at 141.42492 marks. In this category, 37,520 candidates have been shortlisted for Tier-II.

Discrepancies and Provisional Appearances
In a minor setback, the results of two candidates have been cancelled due to debarment issues, while 10 candidates have had their results withheld because of court-related and other pending matters. However, in a provisional measure, these 10 candidates have been permitted to appear in the Tier-II examination, subject to the resolution of their cases.
Next Steps and Future Schedule
The SSC has confirmed that the schedule for the Tier-II examination will be announced shortly. Candidates are advised to regularly check the official SSC website for updates and detailed notifications regarding the next phase of the recruitment process. This announcement follows the commission's commitment to transparency and timely communication with aspirants.
