SSC CGL 2017 Job Joining Timelines: What to Expect

Introduction If you are among the lucky few who were selected in the SSC CGL 2017 examination, the question of when to join your job can be both exciting and complex. Typically, the joining date varies based on the specific department and the recruitment process. In this article, we will explore the common timelines and what candidates can expect after receiving their final results.

General Joining Timeline

After the final results are declared, candidates usually receive joining instructions shortly thereafter. The key here is to check the official SSC website or contact the respective department for the most accurate date, as these can vary. Generally, joining can happen within a few months of the final result being declared and the completion of document verification.

Department-Specific Joining Timelines

It is important to note that the joining timelines can vary significantly depending on the post for which you have been selected. According to my experience, the Central Secretariat Services (CSS) is the fastest in providing joining dates, while other departments might take anywhere from 2 months to a year. For example, after the final result for CSS, your joining date is most likely to be around June or July 2018.

Upcoming SSC CGL 2017 Announcement

As of my current information, the SSC CGL 2017 notification has not yet been released. However, assuming it comes in March 2017, here is a projected timeline for the exams: T1: May/June 2017 T2: August/September 2017 T3: December/January 2018 Final Result: February/March 2018 After the final result, the first ones to receive joining instructions are usually applicants for Assistant Section Officers in CSS. Other departments may take a bit longer, with joining dates often in 2018 or the beginning of 2019.

Additional Considerations

It’s crucial to keep in mind that the entire process can take anywhere from 6 to 10 months, depending on the efficiency of the SSC and the specifics of each department. For instance, while the CGL 2016 tier 1 and tier 2 exams took 6 months despite a re-exam, the complete process for CGL 2017 should not take longer than 10 months, putting us around May-June 2017 now.

Conclusion

For candidates selected in SSC CGL 2017, the joining process can vary based on the department and the post for which you are selected. By keeping an eye on the official SSC website or contacting the respective department, you can stay updated on your joining timeline. Keep an optimistic outlook, and best of luck with your journey!
