SSC CHSL Result 2026: Quick Answer
The SSC CHSL Result 2026 is NOT out yet — and it cannot be, because the examination has not started. Tier 1 of the Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination 2026 runs from 30 November to 31 December 2026, for 2,536 vacancies of Lower Division Clerk / Junior Secretariat Assistant and Data Entry Operator. No result date has been announced. Going by the previous cycles, the wait after the exam is long: CHSL 2025 Tier 1 ran 12–30 November 2025 and its result write-up came on 27 February 2026 — about three months later — so a February to March 2027 window is the honest expectation for the 2026 Tier 1 result, not a date. Any page that gives you a specific CHSL 2026 result date today is guessing. When the result does come, SSC will publish it as PDF lists on the ssc.gov.in notice board — not as a login-based scorecard — followed later by individual marks behind your candidate login.
Key takeaway: Do not wait for the result to start Tier 2 preparation. Tier 1 only shortlists you; final merit is decided by Tier 2 (360 marks), which adds a skill test or typing test that is qualifying. The candidates who use the three-month result gap to build Tier 2 Maths, Reasoning and English are the ones who clear it — the result only tells you whether you are in the race, and Tier 2 decides where you finish.

Why February to March 2027? The Previous Cycles
| Cycle | Tier 1 held | Tier 1 result write-up | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| CHSL 2024 | July 2024 (Tier 1) | 6 September 2024 | About 2 months |
| CHSL 2025 | 12–30 November 2025 | 27 February 2026 | About 3 months |
| CHSL 2026 | 30 November–31 December 2026 | Not announced — expected February to March 2027 | — |
The 2025 cycle is the closest guide: its Tier 1 ended 30 November 2025 and the result came 27 February 2026. The 2026 Tier 1 ends a month later (31 December), so February to March 2027 is the matching window — but it is an expectation built on past timing, not an SSC announcement, and SSC has revised CHSL result dates before. The final result of the 2025 cycle came later still, on 7 October 2026, which shows how long the full cycle runs: Tier 2, skill/typing test and document verification all sit between the Tier 1 result and final selection.
How to Check the SSC CHSL Result 2026 (When It Is Out)
- Go to ssc.gov.in and open the Notice Board / Results section. Do not use a third-party site that asks for your registration number and password.
- Look for the notice titled "Combined Higher Secondary (10+2) Level Examination, 2026 — Declaration of result of Tier-I" (or similar wording), with its result write-up PDF.
- Download the result PDF and search it for your roll number (Ctrl+F). SSC publishes the Tier 1 result as lists of shortlisted candidates, split by post group — LDC/JSA and DEO have separate lists and separate cut-offs.
- Note the cut-off marks in the write-up for your category and post group. Clearing the cut-off is what shortlists you for Tier 2; the write-up also gives the number of candidates shortlisted.
- Individual marks come separately, later, behind your candidate login on ssc.gov.in. The result PDF itself carries no marks — only roll numbers and cut-offs.
- If your roll number is not in the list, check the withheld and debarred lists if SSC publishes them, and then check your marks when they are released — the gap between your score and the cut-off tells you how far you were, which is what you need for the next attempt.
What the Cut-Offs Were Last Time
| List | 2025 Tier 1 cut-off (UR, normalised, out of 200) | 2024 Tier 1 cut-off (UR) |
|---|---|---|
| LDC / JSA | 144.26 | 157.36 |
| DEO (Science stream) | 169.54 | — |
Full 2025 figures (LDC/JSA): UR 144.26, OBC 143.83, EWS 141.42, SC 125.40, ST 115.25. Two things matter here. First, the UR LDC/JSA cut-off fell by about 13 marks from 2024 to 2025 (157.36 to 144.26), so the line moves with the paper and the vacancies — no single number is a promise. Second, the DEO cut-off is much higher than LDC/JSA (169.54 for UR in 2025), because DEO has far fewer vacancies and a separate list. If you applied for DEO, your target is not the LDC/JSA line — it is roughly 25 marks higher. A safe Tier 1 target for General candidates is 155+ out of 200 for LDC/JSA and 175+ for DEO, on the understanding that these are practice targets built on past cut-offs, not predictions. Our SSC CHSL cut-off note carries the full category-wise tables.
What Happens After the Tier 1 Result
- Tier 1 result + cut-off — shortlist for Tier 2, on normalised marks. Expected February to March 2027.
- Tier 2 — 135 objective questions for 405 marks in Session I: Maths 30, Reasoning 30, English 40, General Awareness 20, plus a Computer Knowledge Test of 15 questions, at +3 and −1. Final merit is Section I + Section II only: 360 marks. The Computer Knowledge Test is qualifying.
- Skill test / typing test (Session II) — skill test for DEO, typing test for LDC/JSA, qualifying in nature. Failing it removes you even with a high merit score.
- Document verification — there is no interview in CHSL. Shortlisted candidates go through document verification after Tier 2.
- Final result — post-wise, on Tier 2 merit marks. In the 2025 cycle the final result came on 7 October 2026, about seven months after the Tier 1 result — so expect a long cycle and plan accordingly.
Common Mistakes Around the CHSL Result
- Believing a specific result date from a coaching site. No date has been announced. Any page giving you one today is guessing, and the guess is usually copied from another guessing page.
- Confusing the result PDF with a scorecard. The Tier 1 result is a list of roll numbers. Your marks come later, behind a login. If a site asks for your password to "check your CHSL result", it is not SSC.
- Reading the wrong list. LDC/JSA and DEO have separate lists and separate cut-offs. A candidate who clears the LDC/JSA line but not the DEO line is shortlisted for LDC/JSA only — check both lists if you applied for both.
- Stopping study while waiting. The three-month gap between Tier 1 and its result is the best Tier 2 preparation time you will ever get. Candidates who wait for the result and then start Tier 2 are three months behind.
- Treating the Tier 1 cut-off as the target. Tier 1 only shortlists. The final merit is Tier 2's 360 marks, and the DEO skill test and LDC/JSA typing test are qualifying — a high Tier 1 score protects you from nothing in Tier 2.
Memory Tricks: CHSL Result Dates
- "Nov–Dec exam, Feb–Mar result" — Tier 1 runs November to December, the result follows in February to March. The 2025 cycle did exactly this (exam November, result 27 February).
- "144 and 170" — the two UR numbers to remember from 2025: 144.26 for LDC/JSA, 169.54 for DEO. If your mock score is below the first, you are not shortlisted; below the second, you are not a DEO candidate.
- "PDF, not password" — the result is a public PDF list. Your password is only needed later, for your individual marks.
