SSC CGL 2025 FRTA Result Out: 15,118 Candidates Shortlisted; Check Post-Wise Cut-Off and Sliding Mechanism Details
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has reached a pivotal milestone in the recruitment cycle for one of India's most prestigious competitive examinations. On April 8, 2026, the commission officially released the SSC CGL 2025 FRTA Result, marking the declaration of the First Round of Tentative Allocation (FRTA) [1, 2]. This announcement follows a rigorous selection process that began with the Tier-I results on December 18, 2025, and continued with the Tier-II examinations conducted on January 18 and 19, 2026 [1].
Understanding the Journey to the SSC CGL 2025 FRTA Result
The 2025 examination cycle has been characterized by efficiency and strategic updates. Following the Tier-II Computer Based Mode exams in January, the Commission implemented the provisions laid out in the official Notice of Examination to shortlist candidates for the subsequent rounds [1, 3].
As per the established criteria, candidates were first evaluated based on their aggregate performance in Section-I and Section-II of Paper-I of the Tier-II Examination [3]. Only those who met the minimum thresholds in these sections were eligible for the evaluation of Section-III (Computer Knowledge Test - CKT) and Section-IV (Data Entry Speed Test - DEST) [3, 5]. This multi-layered screening ensures that candidates allocated to various ministries and departments possess both the intellectual caliber and the technical proficiency required for administrative roles [6, 7].
The Revised Final Vacancy List: A Slight Shift
One of the most critical aspects of the SSC CGL 2025 FRTA Result is the final count of vacancies. Initially, the commission had notified 15,125 final vacancies on March 6, 2026 [8]. However, due to administrative revisions by the Department of Posts and the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, the numbers were slightly adjusted [9].
The Department of Posts revised the vacancies for Accountant/Junior Accountant to 70, while the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology revised the Assistant Section Officer vacancies to 03 [9]. Consequently, the total final vacancy count now stands at 15,118 [10].
Category-wise Breakup of Recommended Candidates
| Category | Vacancies | Candidates Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| UR | 6,458 | 6,458* |
| OBC | 3,832 | 3,832 |
| SC | 2,221 | 2,221 |
| EWS | 1,475 | 1,475 |
| ST | 1,132 | 1,132 |
| Total | 15,118 | 15,118 |
*Includes 1,526 OBC, 794 EWS, 40 SC, and 08 ST candidates who qualified at UR standards [11].
Decoding the Cut-off Marks and Qualifying Standards
The SSC CGL 2025 FRTA Result documentation provides an exhaustive list of cut-off marks for both the preliminary sections of Tier-II and the specialized CKT and DEST modules [5, 12, 13].
Sectional Cut-offs (Tier-II Paper-I)
To be eligible for further evaluation, candidates had to cross the following marks in Section-I and Section-II [5]:
- UR: 54.00 (Section-I) | 63.00 (Section-II)
- OBC/EWS: 45.00 (Section-I) | 52.50 (Section-II)
- SC/ST/ESM/PwD: 36.00 (Section-I) | 42.00 (Section-II)
CKT and DEST: The Mandatory Qualifying Hurdles
Qualifying in Section-III (CKT) and Section-IV (DEST) was mandatory for the SSC CGL 2025 FRTA Result [6, 7]. For posts requiring a higher standard of computer proficiency (such as Inspector Examiner or Assistant Section Officer in CSS), the cut-offs were more stringent [13, 14].
In the Computer Knowledge Test (out of 60), UR candidates required 24 marks, while OBC/EWS required 21 [12]. Similarly, the maximum percentage of mistakes allowed in DEST was fixed at 5% for UR and 7% for OBC/EWS/SC/ST for posts requiring a higher standard [13].
The Revolutionary "Sliding Mechanism"
Aimed at ensuring maximum filling of vacancies and minimizing the impact of non-joining candidates, this mechanism allows for a single round of reallocation [4].
Crucial Dates:
- Choice Filling: April 8 to April 10, 2026, via ssc.gov.in [15].
- Northern Region Process: April 13 to April 22, 2026 [15].
- Other Regions: April 13 to April 18, 2026 [15].
Note: Physical attendance is mandatory. Absence will lead to exclusion from the final result [16].
