SSC CGL Tier 1 2016 Score Analysis: Insights and Competition Intensity

In the 2016 SSC CGL Tier 1, a significant number of students achieved scores above 150, indicating a relatively easier exam. However, this initial success would only serve as a stepping stone for the main battle, which lies ahead in Tier 2.

Unexpected Cutoff and Competition Intensity

The cut-off for the Unreserved Category this year has risen to 137, surprising many stakeholders and experts. The statistics reveal that 27,342 aspirants scored 150 or above, with 1,675 precisely scoring 150. Contrastingly, in the previous year, only 131 aspirants achieved this grade, with just 11 scoring exactly 150.

This stark increase in the number of high scorers reflects the fierce competition in the current SSC CGL tier 1. The marks are now more about qualification rather than securing a clear advantage, with Tier 2 being the real decider of success.
