RBE's SSC CGL 2026 analysis of Tier-1 (30 Sep – 28 Oct 2026, 53 shifts): expected normalised cut off for normal posts and AAO, the raw cut off and safe score of every shift, hard shifts and easy shifts, and how your raw score turns into a normalised score. Based on 57,796 students who checked their marks on RealMocks, with SSC's official normalisation formula.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This is not the actual cut off. It is RBE's expected cut off from students' marks and SSC's published normalisation method. The actual cut off depends on the final answer key, final vacancies and SSC's own data – do not take any major decision based on it.

SSC CGL 2025 final result – post-wise cut off →

RBE logo
RBE – Revolution by EducationSSC CGL 2026 Analysis · Method
realmocks.com

How RBE worked out this cut off

  1. Students' marks: raw marks, shift and category of 57,796 students who checked their SSC CGL 2026 answer key on RealMocks.
  2. SSC normalisation: SSC's June-2025 formula – your percentile in your shift → raw score of every shift at that percentile → average = normalised score.
  3. Checked on 2025: the same method was checked against SSC's actual CGL 2025 Tier-1 result and cut off.
  4. Seats: 2026 vacancies → candidates SSC will shortlist in each category (same ratio per vacancy as last year).
  5. Cut off: the normalised score at which that many candidates are reached; then the raw score needed in each shift.

FAQ

What is the expected cut off of SSC CGL 2026 Tier-1?

RBE's expected normalised cut off for normal posts (all posts other than JSO, SI and AAO) is UR 139.1, OBC 132.8, EWS 130.1, SC 116.7 and ST 108.8. The likely range is UR 137.1–141.1.

What is a safe score for SSC CGL 2026 Tier-1?

A safe normalised score is about UR 142.1+, OBC 135.8+, EWS 133.1+, SC 121.7+ and ST 113.8+ (expected cut off + 3 marks, + 5 for SC/ST). Your raw safe score depends on your shift – see the shift-wise table.

Which shifts of SSC CGL 2026 were hard and which were easy?

By the average raw score of RBE students, the hardest shifts were 24 Oct S-3, 05 Oct S-2, 13 Oct S-3 and the easiest were 01 Oct S-1, 16 Oct S-3, 06 Oct S-3. Students of hard shifts gain marks after normalisation; easy shifts lose marks.

What is the expected AAO cut off in SSC CGL 2026?

AAO (Assistant Audit / Accounts Officer, 1,521 vacancies) has a separate list. Expected normalised cut off: UR 147.9, OBC 145.3, EWS 146.3, SC 135.7, ST 130.2.

How does SSC normalisation work?

SSC (formula of June 2025) finds your percentile inside your own shift, takes the raw score at the same percentile in every shift and averages them. That average is your normalised score – so candidates of a hard shift move up and those of an easy shift move down.

What was the SSC CGL 2025 Tier-1 cut off?

After the revised result: UR 136.40, OBC 130.37, EWS 127.42, SC 115.03, ST 106.39 (normalised) for all posts other than JSO and SI. 1,31,027 candidates were shortlisted for Tier-2.

How many vacancies are there in SSC CGL 2026?

10,731 tentative vacancies (as on 24.09.2026): UR 4,412, OBC 2,772, EWS 1,028, SC 1,715, ST 804. This includes 1,521 AAO posts, 158 JSO and 48 Statistical Investigator posts.
