Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2020 – Declaration of result of Tier II examination to shortlist candidates for evaluation of Tier-III (Descriptive Paper)
The Staff Selection Commission conducted the Combined Graduate Level Examination (Tier-II) 2020 from 28.01.2022, 29.01.2022 and 03.02.2022 in the Computer Based Mode and Tier-III (Descriptive Paper) on 06.02.2022 at different centres all over the country.
Based on aggregate performance in Tier-I & Tier-II Examinations, candidates have been shortlisted, category-wise, for evaluation of their Tier-III (Descriptive Paper). The candidates who are not qualified in Tier-II will not be eligible for evaluation of their Tier-III (Descriptive Paper) and they will not be considered for further selection process. Separate cut-off has been fixed for the posts of Assistant Audit Officer (List-1), Junior Statistical Officer (JSO) (List-2) and for the posts other than Assistant Audit Officer and Junior Statistical Officer (List-3).
Paper-I & Paper- II were scheduled in a single shift on 29.01.2022 while Paper-III and Paper-IV were scheduled in a single shift on 28.01.2022. However, due to unavoidable circumstances, the exam in one venue had to be conducted on 03.02.2022 instead of 29.01.2022 for the affected candidates. Since the exam was scheduled in one shift and since the number of affected candidates whose exam had to be conducted on 03.02.2022 is less than 0.5% of the total candidates, no normalization was done while preparing the result of Tier-II of CGL Examination, 2020.
As per the provisions of the Notice of Examination (Para 15.1), only those candidates have been considered eligible for short-listing to the next stage, who have scored minimum marks in each Paper of Tier-II as follows:
