SSC recommends 3,515 candidates for CHSL 2025 first round
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has announced the first round of tentative allocation (FRTA) for the Combined Higher Secondary Level (CHSL) 2025 examination, provisionally recommending 3,515 candidates against 3,522 reported vacancies. The FRTA notice was published on August 17, 2026. Allocations were based on merit, post preferences, and Tier-II performance. Of 13,395 candidates who submitted post preferences online between June 19 and June 25, the commission considered all for selection.
Category-wise, SSC recommended 1,674 for 1,675 unreserved vacancies, 766 for 768 OBC vacancies, 487 for 490 SC vacancies, 251 for 252 ST vacancies, and all 337 EWS vacancies. The Tier-I result was declared on February 27, 2026, and Tier-II was held on April 10 and April 22. SSC examined representations on answer keys and modified them where necessary before final evaluation.
A sliding process to fill any remaining vacancies will begin with online slot selection from August 20 to August 22, 2026. Physical sliding will be held at regional offices from September 1 to September 3, 2026. Candidates who do not attend physically will be treated as absent and excluded from the final result.
Indian Opinion Analysis
SSC's official framing presents the FRTA as a routine, merit-based allocation, emphasising the high fill rate (99.8%). The 7-vacancy gap, 1,675 UR vacancies with 1,674 recommendations, is a minor operational detail, not a systemic flaw. However, the sliding process, introduced explicitly to 'minimise vacancies', signals a known risk: some recommended candidates may not join. The category-wise shortfalls in OBC (2), SC (3), and ST (1) are marginal but consistent with historical patterns. The real test is the sliding process attendance from September 1-3, 2026. If attendance is low, the final vacancy count could rise, triggering a second round. Watch the sliding participation rate.
