SSC CHSL 2025 Final Result: 3,515 Recommended

SSC CHSL 2025 final result: 3,515 recommended against 3,522 vacancies

The Staff Selection Commission declared the final result of the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2025 on 7 October 2026, and the notice — "Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2025: Declaration of Final Result" — is listed on ssc.gov.in. This is the final recommendation list for the Lower Division Clerk (LDC), Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA) and Data Entry Operator (DEO) posts in central government ministries and departments. If your roll number is in the final PDF, you have been recommended for a post; what follows is allocation and joining, handled by your allotted department.

This result closes an unusually long cycle. The CHSLE 2025 notice brought applications in mid-2025, Tier 1 was conducted from 12 to 30 November 2025 (result 27 February 2026), and Tier 2 was held on 10 April 2026 (result 17 August 2026). Allocation then went through SSC's newer two-step machinery: the First Round of Tentative Allocation (FRTA) on 17 August 2026 (with a corrigendum on 19 August), followed by sliding and Identity Verification from 1 to 3 September 2026 at designated centres, and the final post-and-department preferences evaluated against that. The 7 October list is the product of all of it.

The numbers that matter

Against 3,522 reported vertical vacancies, 3,515 candidates were finally recommended — a 99.8% fill rate. Seven posts went unfilled (3 in SC, 2 in OBC, 1 each in ST and UR). Per reporting on the SSC write-up, the category split was:

One figure worth pausing on: 841 candidates from reserved categories were selected on unreserved merit, without using any relaxation — 241 from EWS, 583 from OBC and 17 from SC. That is roughly half the UR category's recommended strength, and it is a useful reminder of how competitive the top of the list is.

Two things SSC is explicit about in its result practices: there is no reserve list and no waiting list — unfilled vacancies carry forward — and tie cases are resolved in a fixed order (Tier-II Section-I marks first, then Tier-I total, then the older candidate).

How to check your result properly

Go to ssc.gov.in and open the Result section. Select the CHSL tab and find the result link for "Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2025: Declaration of Final Result" dated 7 October 2026. SSC publishes the result as one or more PDFs containing the recommended candidates' roll numbers, usually with a separate write-up section that explains the category-wise allocation and the cut-offs. Open the PDF, press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F), and type your roll number exactly as printed on your admit card.

Download the PDF and save a copy — departments ask for your application details during joining, and the result PDF is your proof of recommendation. Your individual marks will be uploaded separately: SSC posts final answer keys and detailed marks of selected and non-selected candidates on ssc.gov.in, typically within a few weeks of the final result, under the candidate login.

What happens next depends on whether your name is on the list

If you are selected: nothing more happens on the SSC website for you. Document verification, medical fitness and the actual appointment are handled by your allotted user department — SSC's role ends at recommendation. Watch for the department's communication and keep your originals ready: matriculation and 10+2 certificates, category certificate in the prescribed format (if applicable), identity proof, photographs, and your application/registration details. One practical rule from SSC's own post-selection instructions: if you have heard nothing from the user department within six months, contact the department yourself rather than waiting.

The posts themselves are worth understanding because the joining formalities differ slightly by post. LDC and JSA are Level-2 posts in the pay matrix (starting basic pay ₹19,900); DEO is a Level-4 or Level-5 post (starting basic ₹25,500–₹29,200) depending on the department. A DEO posting involves a skill/typing test in the selection process; LDC/JSA involve the DEST (data entry speed test) component — you have already cleared whichever applied to your post.

If you are not selected: the final result is still useful. When SSC uploads the final cut-offs and your marks, compare where your score stood against the category and post-wise thresholds. CHSL 2026 is already on the rails — its notice appeared on ssc.gov.in on 7 September 2026 — so this cycle's cut-off data is your calibration for the next attempt.

Eligibility recap, for the next attempt

The CHSL is open to candidates aged 18–27 (as on the cut-off date specified in the notice; relaxation applies for SC/ST/OBC, PwBD and others under the rules), with 10+2 or equivalent from a recognised board. That is the full qualification bar for LDC and JSA. DEO posts carry additional subject-specific requirements for certain departments (for example, science stream with mathematics), which the notice spells out post-wise — read the post-specific table rather than assuming a blanket 10+2.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Checking the wrong cycle. CHSL 2026's notice is out and its own process is separate; do not confuse its admit cards and schedules with this result.
• Typing the roll number wrong. Use the exact roll number from the admit card, including any leading zeros; a failed search usually means a typo, not absence.
• Assuming the SSC result means the job is confirmed. Recommendation is not appointment. Departments conduct their own verification, and only their offer letter is final.
• Ignoring the six-month rule. If the department goes quiet, you are expected to follow up — the Commission's instruction is explicit about this.
• Downloading from third-party sites first. Use ssc.gov.in for the result PDF; mirrors are fine for reading but the official file is the one that counts.
