How to calculate the estimated number?
To estimate their SSC CGL Tier 1 score, applicants need to get the official answer key. After that, candidates can match the recorded answers. According to the commission's official marking system, each correct answer will be worth a set number of marks. For each wrong answer, negative marking (typically 0.50 points per question) must be deducted. The predicted Tier 1 score can be calculated by adding the marks for all correct answers and subtracting the penalty for incorrect ones.
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) conducts the CGL exam once a year to recruit applicants for various Group B and Group C positions in the Indian government's ministries, departments, and organisations.
