SSC CGL 2025 Final Results Released

SSC CGL 2025 Final Result: The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially announced the final results for the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Examination 2025. A total of 15,118 candidates have successfully qualified. This group includes 6,458 from the Unreserved category, 3,832 from OBC, 2,221 from SC, 1,132 from ST, and 1,475 from EWS. This year, the SSC has implemented a new approach called the 'Sliding Mechanism' aimed at reducing the number of unfilled positions and enhancing opportunities for eligible candidates.

Understanding the FRTA Process

What is FRTA?
FRTA stands for 'First Round of Tentative Allocation.' This marks the initial phase of the Sliding Mechanism, where candidates are provisionally assigned to posts and departments based on their preferences and merit. Following this, candidates must undergo an Identity Verification (ID Verification) process to validate their allocation. This includes Aadhaar-based authentication, biometric checks, and live photo capture.

Options Available During Verification

What are the 'Fix' and 'Float' Options?
During the verification process, candidates must select between two options: 'Fix' or 'Float.'
Fix Option: Choosing this option means you are accepting your current allocation as final. Once selected, no further changes or upgrades can be made, and you will proceed to join the service in the designated post.

Float Option: By opting for this, you express your willingness to be considered for an upgrade. If a higher post becomes available based on merit during the sliding rounds, you may be assigned that position. However, if offered an upgrade, you must accept and join the new post; failing to do so may lead to the loss of both your original and upgraded allocations.

How the Sliding Mechanism Operates

The SSC has introduced this system to fill vacancies that remain unoccupied due to candidates missing document verification or not joining after selection. Initially, identity verification will follow the FRTA process, succeeded by a 'sliding round' where candidates who chose the 'Float' option may receive better posts based on merit and vacancy availability. The final results from this process will be binding for all candidates.

**Verification Schedule for Central Region**

For candidates in the Central Region, the verification process under the FRTA initiative is set to begin on April 13, 2026, at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIITD), Deoghar. Candidates must bring a valid Aadhaar Card (original), a printed confirmation of their slot booking, and their registered mobile number. The verification will utilize OTP-based authentication.
