SSC CHSL stands for Staff Selection Commission: Combined Higher Secondary Level and is a recruitment examination in the SSC group. It is conducted in 2 stages (Tier 1, Tier 2), each with its own paper and marking scheme.
SSC CHSL is conducted in 2 stages: Tier 1, Tier 2. Each stage has its own question count, marks, duration, and negative-marking rules, shown on the exam pattern page. This pattern is marked review-pending: it rests on consistent corroboration from secondary sources because the examining body's own document could not be read directly, so check it against the official notification before you rely on it.
Tier 1 has 100 questions worth 200 marks in 60 minutes, covering General Intelligence, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, English Language.
The figures on this page describe the SSC CHSL pattern for the 2025 cycle and were last checked on 4 August 2026, against the source linked on this page. It carries a review-pending label rather than an official one, which is shown on the page rather than hidden.
Every test on this site is mapped to the official pattern and syllabus scope linked above, and independently checked before publishing. Granular topic labels beyond the official syllabus are a TakeMockTest preparation map, not an official subtopic list, unless stated otherwise.
The unrelaxed age limit is 18 to 27 years as on 1 January 2026. For most posts, candidates need 12th Standard or an equivalent qualification by 1 January 2026.
