SSC CGL 2017 Tier-2 Exam- Expected cutoff marks:

SSC has dropped the Interview process from the selection procedure since last year. This means no Interview burden for the candidates but this can also mean a rise in the exam cutoff marks. However, SSC CGL Tier-2 cutoffs will also depend on the following factors-

•      Total no. of candidates applied for SSC CGL posts

•      No. of vacancies to be filled

•      Difficulty level of the exams

•      No. of candidates appearing for Tier-2 exams

•      Elimination of Interview round

To calculate SSC CGL Tier 2 expected cut off for this year, let’s have a look at previous year cutoff marks.

For general posts, the category-wise cutoff for 2016 was as follows:

Category	Unreserved	OBC	SC	ST	OH	VH	HH	Ex-servicemen
Cutoff	422	397	363.25	341	333	336	216	287.5

We are expecting the cutoff marks to be somewhat closer to previous year i. e. 2016’s cutoff with some variation here and there. There can be a difference of 10-20 marks at the maximum. However, the cutoff marks are really unpredictable and will purely depend on the assessment made by SSC.
