SSC CHSL Result 2025: The wait is almost over! After the completion of the SSC CHSL Tier 1 examination held from November 12 to 30, 2025, lakhs of hopeful candidates across India are now counting down the days until the Staff Selection Commission announces the much-awaited results. According to insider reports and SSC’s usual timeline, the SSC CHSL Tier 1 result 2025 is likely to be released in January 2026.
This year’s examination holds special significance as SSC is going to fill 3131 Group C vacancies in roles such as Lower Divisional Clerk, Junior Secretariat Assistant, Postal/Sorting Assistant, and Data Entry Operator. For thousands of 12th-pass students dreaming of a stable government job, this could be their golden ticket.
When Will the Results Drop?
While the commission hasn’t announced an official date yet, the pattern from previous years suggests we’re looking at an early to mid-January release. SSC typically releases results 4-6 weeks after the completion of the exam, which aligns with this timeline. The answer key was already released on December 8, 2025, which means the objection window has likely closed, and the commission is now busy finalizing the results.
What to Expect in the Result PDF
Unlike individual scorecards that come later, the result will be released in PDF format, listing the roll number and names of candidates declared qualified in the Tier 1 exam. Think of it as a master list of all the successful candidates. The PDF will also contain crucial details like candidates’ names, their fathers’ names, category classifications, and possibly even rankings.
But here’s the kicker – only those candidates who score equal to or above the cut-off marks will qualify to proceed to the next round. The cut-off marks vary by category, with General candidates typically needing to score higher than SC/ST or OBC candidates.
Understanding the Cut-Off Game
Minimum qualifying percentage ranges from 20% for SC/ST/PwD to 30% for General, with corresponding minimum marks out of 200 being 40 for SC/ST/PwD and 60 for General category. However, just clearing the minimum isn’t always enough – the actual cut-off depends on factors like exam difficulty, the number of vacancies, and overall candidate performance.
