SSC 2025 Recruitment Updates: SSC CGL Tier 1 Results Expected This December, CHSL Answer Key Released

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC), a pivotal body in India's central government recruitment, is currently the center of attention for lakhs of aspirants as critical updates unfold this December 2025. The much-anticipated SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Tier 1 exam results are expected to be declared this month, marking an important milestone for candidates across the nation.

The SSC CGL Tier 1 exam for 2025 was conducted from September 12 to 26 across 255 centers in 126 cities, with over 28 lakh candidates registered and more than 13.5 lakh actually appearing. A re-exam was also conducted on October 14 for some candidates who faced technical issues. Following the exam, provisional answer keys and response sheets were released on October 16, and the objection window closed by October 19 after receiving about 1,000 objections covering around 4,500 questions. The SSC has been rigorously reviewing each objection given the volume of papers and questions to ensure accuracy and fairness in the results.[2][5][6][8][10]

The Chairman of SSC, Gopalakrishnan, confirmed that despite the complexity due to multiple shifts and papers, the result will be declared in December. This result will pave the way for the Tier 2 exams, which are scheduled for January or February 2026. This recruitment Drive aims to fill an estimated 18,236 Group B and C positions across various ministries and departments including roles like Junior Statistical Officer and Statistical Investigator Grade II.[2]

In parallel, the SSC Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL) exam candidates have received the provisional answer key on December 8, 2025, allowing them to cross-check their responses, compute estimated scores with the marking scheme of +2 for a correct answer and -0.5 for a wrong one, and raise objections by paying a nominal fee. This proactive step aids candidates in planning their preparation for the subsequent Tier 2 exam well ahead of the results.[7]

These developments come as part of broader SSC exam cycles critical for government job aspirants in India, drawing significant attention on social platforms and trending on Google. Aspirants are encouraged to keep a close watch on official SSC portals like ssc.gov.in for timely updates on results, scorecards, merit lists, and subsequent recruitment stages to leverage their best chances for career advancement.[4]

Additionally, daily current affairs relevant for SSC and other competitive exams are actively covered by educators and exam preparation experts to aid candidates in staying updated with national and international events, policy decisions, and exam-centric general knowledge.[1][3]
