CGL 2017  Online Exam in June / July, 2017. Notification to be announced on soon. Earlier the Notification, was expected on 11th March, but now its has been delayed and will be announced soon

       This Exclusive article is specially for those, who missed the CGL-2016 Exam, and are looking for Details of CGL-2017 Exam 

Current Status : On 18th October, 2016,SSC 2017 NOTIFICATION was announced and this calendar has the Tentative Schedule of All the SSC Exams to be held in 2017. As per the Exam Calendar, SSC CGL 2017 NOTIFICATION , was to be announced on 11th March, 2017(Now postponed) and Tier-1 Exam is scheduled in June/July, 2017 

For the Time being, Notification looks delayed due to some administrative reasons, and we will update you as and when the Notification gets announced.

Staff Selection Commission (SSC), had announced the tentative dates cum Schedule of SSC CGL 2017 Online Exam. Well the exact dates, will be known only after the announcement of Notification, but still, the Notification Dates and Exam Dates, will be informed in advance through SSC 2017 Exam Calender

Usually, SSC announces the Calendar, in the month of Oct Or Nov. In 2016, SSC Exam Calendar was released on 13th Nov, 2015, so we expect it to be announced, during the same time in 2016 too. It is worth mentioning here that SSC never follows a fixed time table for CGL Exam or any other Exam. Sometimes, the notification is announced in the month of Jan /Feb and sometimes is June / July. So, it's highly unpredictable to know the CGL Exam Dates in advance.

Update (As on 12th March, 2017)

SSC CGL 2017 Notification Delayed : Sources

Postponing Notifications is usual habit of SSC. In 2016, CHSL Notification was delayed by 3 months and CAPF SI Notification 2017 is already delayed by 2 months now and now the same is going to happen with SSC CGL 2017 Exam.

Everyone was expecting that Notification will be announced on 11th March, but SSC failed to publish the notification on said date and no one knows when the Notification will be announced

Some possible reason, that lead to postponement of Notification

1) First SSC wants to compete with the Selection process of CGL-2016 Exam. CGL 2016 Tier-3 Exam is on 19th March, 2017. After that Tier-3 Results will be announced and Then there will be Tier-4 and only after that CGL 2016 Selection process gets complete and It will take 45 to 50 Days to complete.

2) There is File Pending with Department of Personnel Training regarding some changes in the Pattern and Age Limit and unless or until, this file gets cleared, there is No Chance of Notification.

3) Postponing Notification is a new Trend in SSC. 

Note : Point No.3 is Just for Satire

Expected Date: Now the most expected Date for announcement of Notification is First or 2nd week of April, 2017

Update (As on 18th Oct, 2016)

On 18th October, SSS had announced its Calendar for Examinations to be held in 2017-18. As per the Calendar, following in the Schedule of CGL-2017 Exam. This is for the first time, that SSC Exam Calendar has been announced so early, most of the time it is announced by the end of the year.

1) Announcement of Notification : 11th March, 2017(Expected Soon)
  2) Closing Date of CGL Online application: 15th April, 2017

3) Date of SSC CGL Tier-1 Exam: 19th June to 2nd July, 2017


Many a times, the Notification and Exam dates are postponed. The recent Example is SSC CHSL Notification  that was earlier scheduled to announced on 2nd July, 2016, but delay in getting the approval for conducting Online exam led to postponement of Notification to October. This is not just the case with SSC CHSL only, Infact all the major exam, including CGL Exam , MTS Exam and several other SSC Exams.

Not only the Notification, even exam dates are not confirmed either. Earlier for CGL 2016 Notification, the exam was scheduled to be held on 8th and 22nd May, 2016, but it was postponed to August/ Sept, 2016. From this we can only say that, that only SSC Knows, when it will announce the SSC CGL Notification 2017. But you should start your preparation, with Notification to be announced in Feb, 2017 and Exam in June / July, 2017.
