The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has announced a major reform for the SSC CGL Exam 2025. For the first time, the exam will be conducted in a single shift across the country.

The SSC Chairman confirmed that this move will bring uniformity, fairness, and transparency in the recruitment process. Aspirants preparing for the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Examination 2025 must note the updated guidelines, exam schedule, and key details available on the official website - ssc.gov.in.
SSC CGL Exam 2025 Single Shift Announcement
The SSC Chairman has announced a significant change in the conduct of the SSC CGL 2025 Exam. Unlike previous years where the exam was conducted in multiple shifts, this year the CGL 2025 Tier 1 examination will be held in a single shift nationwide. This reform has been introduced to eliminate issues related to normalization of marks, shift-wise variation, and fairness in evaluation.
Why This Reform?
The SSC often faced challenges in normalizing scores due to difficulty variation across multiple shifts. By introducing a single-shift exam, SSC ensures:
- Equal competition for all candidates
- Transparency in marking and evaluation
- Reduced disputes and grievances regarding normalization
- Better credibility of results
