The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has postponed the notification release date for the Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Examination 2018. It is now scheduled to release the CGL 2018 notification on May 5th, 2018. The notification was initially supposed to be released today, April 21st.
The delay was anticipated because the CGL 2017 Tier III examination was delayed. The Tier III exam was initially scheduled to be held on March 31st, but is now set for sometime in May 2018, with an exact exam date not known yet.
Earlier, the Commission conducted CGL 2017 Tier II re-examination due to technical glitches and allegations of a paper leak. The CGL 2017 Tier II exam was scheduled for February 17th and 21st, but on February 21st, candidates alleged that the papers were leaked and circulated on social media. The re-exam was conducted on March 9th.
The CGL examination is one of the biggest exams in the country and is conducted for the recruitment of important positions. These include Assistant Audit Officer, Assistant Accounts Officer, Assistant Section Officer, Assistant/ Superintendent, Inspector of Income Tax, Central Excise Inspector, Preventive Officer, Junior Statistical Officer, and Assistant Enforcement Officer, among others.
