Alright, future government employees, listen up! If you’ve been dreaming of a stable job with decent perks (hello, work-life balance and job security!), then the SSC CHSL 2025 exam is your golden ticket. But before you dive into preparation mode, let’s break down everything you need to know—without the boring, textbook-style jargon.
What’s the Big Deal About SSC CHSL 2025?
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has dropped its latest notification, and guess what? There are 3,131 vacancies up for grabs! We’re talking about roles like:
- Lower Division Clerk (LDC)
- Junior Secretariat Assistant (JSA)
- Data Entry Operator (DEO)
- Postal Assistant (PA)
- Sorting Assistant (SA)
Not too shabby, right? But before you start celebrating, let’s get into the nitty-gritty details—because missing a deadline or eligibility rule is the fastest way to heartbreak.

Eligibility: Are You In or Out?
Before you start dreaming about that government job swag, make sure you tick these boxes:
🎓 Educational Qualification
- Minimum Requirement: You must have passed Class 12 (10+2) from a recognized board.
- No, a fake online degree won’t work. Stick to legit qualifications.
🎂 Age Limit
- You must be born between August 2, 1998, and August 1, 2007.
- Relaxations apply for reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/PwD/Ex-Servicemen).
FYI: If you’re an ex-serviceman already working in a Group C/D post, you can’t claim ESM reservation. Tough luck.
Exam Pattern: What’s the Battle Plan?
⚔️ Tier 1 – The First Hurdle
This is a 60-minute sprint with 100 questions (200 marks). Here’s the breakdown:
