Syllabus questions

SSC CGL Syllabus 2026 FAQ

Is the SSC CGL syllabus the same every year?

The broad subject structure (Reasoning, Quant, English, General Awareness in Tier 1) has stayed stable across recent cycles, but always cross-check the exact topic list and any post-specific Tier 2 papers against the current year's official notification.

How many tiers does SSC CGL have?

SSC CGL currently runs Tier 1 (objective CBT for all posts) and Tier 2 (a further objective CBT, with additional modules for specific posts). Check the latest notification for the exact tier structure, as SSC has changed this format before.

Should I prepare Tier 2 topics before clearing Tier 1?

Focus on Tier 1 first to build a baseline. Once your Tier 1 mock scores stabilise, shift attention to Tier 2-specific topics like the descriptive paper and any post-specific modules.
