The salient features of the Combined Graduate Level Examination, 2010 are:

i. The examination will substitute five earlier examinations- Combined Graduate Level
Examination, Tax Assistant Examination, Sub Inspectors in Central Police Organizations
Examination, Statistical Investigator Gr II Examination, and Compilers in RGI
Examination. Though it was originally proposed by SSC and also approved by the
Government to include the posts of Section Officers (Audit and Commercial Audit) for
offices under the C&AG and Section Officers (Accounts) for offices under Controller
General Defence Accounts, consequent to up gradation of some of the posts to Group
B-Gazetted level and pending decision of the Government on extending the scope of
SSC’s work to include Gr B gazetted posts, these posts have been excluded from this
examination.
ii. The written examination will be conducted in two tiers; the first tier utilized for short
listing candidates for the second tier and will also have weightage in the final selection.
iii. Each candidate applying for multiple posts will need to submit only a single application
with onetime payment of examination fee, relieving the candidates of the burden of
submitting multiple applications with payment of fee with each application.
iv. Entire recruitment cycle is proposed to be completed in 11-12 months against almost
two years at present for Combined Graduate Level Examination.
v. All papers will have only objective type multiple choice questions, amenable to
machine scanning and quicker and more objective evaluation.
vi. Interview/Personality Test is prescribed only for posts for which interaction with the
general public will be necessary immediately after entry into service.
vii. All India selection will be made for all the posts as at present.
The restructured Combined Graduate Level Examination is expected to benefit the
Government, candidates and user Ministries/ Departments by way of faster completion of
recruitment cycle, quicker selection and early placement. In order to equip itself for the
restructured examination, SSC has conducted three Question Bank Projects at Bengaluru ,
Chennai and Mumbai during 2009-10 so far with the last in the series scheduled at Kolkata
in February, 2010.

Proposals for restructuring of the Combined 10+2 Level Examination and Stenographers
Examination have also been submitted by the SSC and are under active consideration of the
Government.
