SSC CHSL 2025: Final results declared, 3,515 candidates selected; why did seven posts remain vacant?
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has completed the final allocation and result process for the CHSL (10+2) 2025 examination (CHSLE-2025). The Commission has declared the final results, based on which 3,515 candidates have been finally recommended. Candidates who participated in the recruitment process can view the results on the official website.
SSC had released the First Round Tentative Allocation (FRTA) on August 17, 2026. Subsequently, a sliding and Identity Verification (IV) process was conducted for the candidates. This process took place from September 1 to September 3, 2026, involving an online login module and physical presence at designated centers.
Following this entire process, the candidates' final post and departmental preferences were evaluated. Based on this, 3,515 candidates were finally recommended.
How many of the 3,522 posts were filled?
Against a total of 3,522 vertical vacancies, 3,515 candidates were recommended. Thus, 99.80 percent of the total vacancies were filled. Only 7 vertical posts remained vacant. The category-wise status was as follows:
Category Vacancies Recommended Candidates Vacant Posts
EWS 337 337 0
SC 490 487 3
ST 252 251 1
OBC 768 766 2
UR 1,675 1,674 1
Total 3,522 3,515 7
The highest number of vacant posts (3) was in the SC category. This was followed by 2 vacancies in OBC, 1 in ST, and 1 in UR.
How many candidates from reserved categories were selected based on unreserved merit?
A significant aspect of this result is that 841 candidates from reserved categories were selected based on unreserved merit, without availing any relaxations in standards. These include:
EWS: 241
SC: 17
OBC: 583
A total of 841 candidates were selected based on unreserved merit. This represents approximately 50.24 percent of the 1,674 candidates recommended under the UR category.
How many of the 3,515 candidates opted for 'FIX' and 'FLOAT'?
During the sliding and Identity Verification (IV) process, candidates chose either the 'FIX' or 'FLOAT' option based on their circumstances. Some candidates were also allocated new posts due to vacancies that had arisen. The figures were as follows:
FIX option: 2,260 candidates
FLOAT option: 927 candidates
Newly allocated seats: 328 candidates
Total candidates: 3,515
'FIX' implies that the candidate finalized the post and department allocated during the FRTA process. Candidates opting for 'FLOAT' retained their current allocation while keeping the possibility open to move up to a better option.
Meanwhile, 328 candidates were allocated new posts that had become vacant because some candidates did not appear for Identity Verification.
How was merit determined in the event of a tie in marks?
If two or more candidates secured the same total marks in Tier-II, a sequential tie-breaking rule was applied to determine inter-se merit. The sequence was as follows:
Total marks in Tier-II
Marks in Section-I of Tier-II
Total marks in Tier-I
Date of birth, with preference given to the older candidate
This process determined the final merit ranking for candidates with equal marks.
What is the next step for the selected candidates?
The electronic dossiers (e-dossiers) of the 3,515 recommended candidates will be forwarded to the respective user departments and appointing authorities. Subsequently, the further process will be carried out at the level of the concerned departments. This primarily includes:
Physical verification of documents
Verification of character and antecedents (background check)
Medical examination
Issuance of appointment letters
This means that once the SSC declares the final provisional results, the concerned appointing authorities will complete the subsequent formalities related to the appointment.
