Factors Affecting SSC CGL Previous Year Cut-Off Marks For Tier 1 and 2

Before analyzing the last 8 years’ cut-off, candidates must be aware of the factors that play an important role in deciding the cut-off. The factors are as follows:

  • Vacancies
  • Difficulty Level
  • Number of Candidates
  • Reservation Policy
  • Normalization Process
  • Candidate Performance

SSC CGL Tier 1 Cut off For AAO/ACO

The SSC CGL Tier 1 Cut-off is released each year for various posts, including Others, JSO (Junior Statistical Officer), and AAO/ACO (Assistant Audit Officer/Assistant Accounts Officer).

The Tier 2 Exam consists of:

  • Paper 1: Common for all

  • Paper 3: For AAO

Since there are no AAO/ACO vacancies this year, Paper 3 will not be held, and there will be no separate cut-off for these posts in Tier 1.
