Hello Everyone,
I have applied for SSC CGL exam. So, I want to know the qualifying marks and also I would like to know after qualifying what is the next step? Also refer some books that help me to prepare for SSC CGL exam. Thank you in advance.

To get an Idea on SSC CGL Examination, one must look for the past year's cutoff marks. So that one can achieve good score based on the planning considering of previous year's cutoff marks. There is no sectional cutoff in CGL Examination and there is a overall cutoff. Remember, not only crossing the cutoff marks you are required to score merit marks in order to make sure the selection.

SSC CGL Tier 1 Cutoff Marks:

For General - 102.25 out of 200 marks
For OBC - 89.50
For SC - 80.25
For ST - 74.25
For Ex-Servicemen - 67.75
For OH - 69.00

As there is no sectional cutoff, I suggest you to work on the topic in which you are very good at to score maximum marks in particular section. As there is negative marking be careful while attempting questions. Here are the best books for SSC CGL 2016 Examination.

For Science and Static GK - Lucent's General Knowledge
