I've just started my SSC preparation at the age of 24. I wasn't a good student during my graduation, so I only achieved 53% marks. However, I believe that if I give it my best, I can crack the SSC CGL exam because I have relatively good marks in my post-graduation (70%). My concern is whether there's any chance that SSC might introduce a minimum graduation percentage requirement for the CGL exam in the future. If they do, all my efforts could go to waste. Could someone clarify if there’s any possibility of SSC implementing such a requirement?

Ans: Abin, The future of SSC's qualifying requirements is uncertain, but it is suggested that the test's emphasis on merit rather than academic grades could be impacted. Performance in the selection process is more important than academic records for most government tests, including SSC CGL. Any changes to eligibility requirements would be made public, and transitional rules may be in place. To prepare, focus on aptitude, reasoning, and topic knowledge in SSC CGL. If concerned about changes, consider other options like state-level government exams or competitive tests. Stay updated on SSC's changes. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future.
