What are the changes in SSC CGL 2023 Notification this year?
There are a number of changes this year which are below:
1. There has been a slight change in the eligibility criteria. Last year when the SSC CGL Notification was released on September 18, 2022, the age limit was to be calculated as on January 1, 2022. But in this year’s notification (which is released on April 3, 2023), the age limit has been calculated as on (August 1, 2023). For a majority of aspirants, this wouldn’t matter, but for those aspirants who will be crossing the maximum age limit just on January 1, 2023, they would not be eligible.
2. There is a new profile of a Research Assistant (National Human Rights Commission) added in this year’s notification which was not there earlier.What will be the difficulty level of this exam? Will it increase or decrease when compared with previous years’ exams?
The exam level will most likely be similar to that of previous years exams. But that said, anything can be expected from SSC.
What will be the level of cut-offs this year?
The number of vacancies is low this year when compared with the previous years’ vacancies. That means cut-offs will be slightly on the higher side. But it again depends on various factors such as number of candidates, difficulty level of the exam etc.
