SSC CGL Merit List 2023
The merit list will be prepared on the basis of the overall performance of candidates in the SSC CGL Tier-2 exam only. The final selection of candidates, in each category, will be made on the basis of ‘overall performance in Tier-2 examination’ and ‘preference of posts’ exercised by them. Once the candidate has been given his first available preference, as per his merit, he will not be considered for any other option.
The final allotment of posts is made on the basis of merit-cum-preferences of Posts/ Departments given by the candidates and once a post is allotted, no change of posts will be made by the Commission due to non-fulfillment of any post-specific requirements of physical/ medical/ educational standards.
