  • Shubham Varun

    Hello Sir/ Madam, I have a few questions regarding the tier- 3 examination: 1. Do I have to be aware of all the current affairs or is this examination purely dependent on my English proficiency? For example- Do I need to know in detail about the present Government's work like Swatchh Bharat Abhiyaan, etc.? Can I make the information up by my imagination and only focus on my English proficiency? 2. Is this tier compulsory for all the candidates that passed the tier-2 examination, unlike tier- 4 which is only for selected posts?

    Sir, Iwant to know that in SSC CGL exam of Tier 2 ,there is total 4 papers. If I got a good marks in paper 1 and paper 2 but I won't get much marks in paper 23 and paper 4. Do am I eligible for jobs based on my marks in paper 1 and paper 2?

    eduncle-logo-app

    Hello Shashikant, Greetings from Eduncle! Thanks for sharing your query with us! In SSC CGL recruitment process, Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3, they all are to be separately qualified by the candidate by securing the required Cut-offs. he scores obtained in all the three Tiers are considered. A candidate needs to clear all the three Tiers respectively, then only he is eligible for Tier 4. Tier 4 is applicable to few of the posts, as this is the Skill Test stage, other posts have the document verification stage after Tier 3. Tier 4 too needs to be qualified by the candidate. Tier 4 doesn't have any cut-off marks, but is an essential stage which needs to be qualified. Hope the above explanation has cleared your doubts! Kind Regards, Eduncle Team
