SSC CGL 2026 Result Released: What’s Next
The sliding mechanism was introduced to optimize the use of available vacancies, decrease the count of unfilled roles, and support fair, merit-based redistribution.
Candidates are required to visit the Commission’s official website, ssc.gov.in, between April 8 and April 10, 2026, to choose their venue, date, and time slot for the sliding process. The sliding process will be conducted in the cities of the respective Regional Offices from April 13 to 22, 2026, for the Northern Region, and from April 13 to 18, 2026, for all other Regional Offices. The address of the venue for the sliding process will be provided through the designated login module. Candidates must attend this process in person; failure to do so will result in their exclusion from the final allocation.
Candidates who did not achieve the required cut-off scores in Sections I and II were excluded from further stages. The Data Entry Speed Test (DEST) is mandatory for eligibility for FRTA. Sections III and IV are qualifying in nature.
Following an evaluation of the candidates' objections, the commission has issued the final answer keys. Comprehensive score details for both successful and unsuccessful candidates will be published on the official SSC website in due time.

Step 1 – Eligibility for Sliding:
Only candidates who qualified for Tier II and submitted option-cum-preferences are eligible.
