New Delhi, October 5, 2025 — The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has announced that it will conduct a re-examination for some candidates of the SSC CGL Tier-1 Exam 2025 due to technical issues and irregularities reported at a few exam centres.
To help candidates prepare in time, SSC has released the Advance City Intimation Slip for the re-exam on its official website, ssc.gov.in.
🔹 Why the Re-Exam Was Announced
During the SSC CGL Tier-1 exams, held across various cities in India, many students complained about technical glitches, server problems, and suspected cheating.
