The selection architecture for SSC CGL 2026 is distributed across two primary online evaluation tiers:
Candidates no longer have a flexible, free-flowing 60 minutes. SSC CGL 2026 enforces a strict 15-minute locked sectional timer for each segment. Once 15 minutes expire, the system automatically advances to the next section.
Subject | Questions | Marks | Sectional Timing (NEW) |
25 | 50 | 15 Minutes | |
25 | 50 | 15 Minutes | |
25 | 50 | 15 Minutes | |
25 | 50 | 15 Minutes | |
Total | 100 | 200 | 1 Hour |
Tier-II remains an objective-type online assessment. However, the 2026 guidelines introduce explicit time-caps within sessions.
⚠️ Note on Tier-II Marking: Unlike Tier-I, there is a strict penalty of 1 mark (1/3rd negative marking) for each wrong answer in Paper-I, Paper-II, and Paper-III.
With the onset of automated sectional timers, banking purely on conceptual knowledge will not guarantee success. Time management is now your ultimate filter.
