SSC CGL is the gateway to many central government posts for graduates. Clearing it means understanding the two-tier structure and preparing for each stage smartly. Here is the syllabus and a study plan.
The CGL structure
- Tier 1: objective — General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, English Comprehension
- Tier 2: objective — deeper Maths and English, plus subject papers for some posts
- Speed and accuracy decide your rank
Stage-wise strategy
Clear Tier 1 on speed and broad coverage; clear Tier 2 on depth, especially advanced Maths and English. Build the four core areas first, then add depth for Tier 2. Daily practice and timed mocks are non-negotiable.
The four pillars
- Quantitative Aptitude — shortcuts and daily practice
- Reasoning — patterns, series, puzzles
- English — grammar, vocabulary, comprehension
- General Awareness — static GK and current affairs
