Questions about this tool

SSC CGL eligibility for girls: can women apply?

Women can apply to SSC CGL subject to the relevant post requirements. The 2026 notice restricts BRO vacancies to male candidates (§4.3). Check post-specific physical and medical standards before choosing preferences.

Can a 12th-pass candidate apply for SSC CGL?

Class 12 alone does not meet the normal SSC CGL qualification: a recognized bachelor’s degree or equivalent is required for most posts (§8.4). JSO has additional subject conditions. Certain qualifying ex-servicemen have separate provisions; check the notice rather than assuming an exception.

Does matching the age limit mean I am eligible?

No. Check the degree cutoff, nationality, category documents and the requirements of the particular department as well. Physical, medical and regional-language conditions can affect your options.
