Late Release of Vacancies

There is no official notification regarding the number of vacancies for CGL 2019 or CGL 2018. According to previous data, one can expect around 8,000 vacancies for 2019. However, these estimates may not be accurate.

As of now, no official vacancies have been published for CGL 2019, and the SSC has not released any figures. Similarly, for CGL 2018, no vacancies were published until after the exams. Given the pattern, it is likely that the exact number of vacancies for CGL 2019 will be announced after the Tier 3 and Tier 4 examinations.

Some media reports and competitive websites have suggested that over 8,000 vacancies were released this year. However, this information may not be verified. According to the SSC, the number of vacancies for 2019 is expected to be around 8,000 to 9,000, similar to the previous year.

Preparing for the Exam

While it is essential to be aware of the vacancy numbers, it is equally important to focus on your preparation. Candidates are advised to study diligently and score as high as possible in the examinations. The SSC CGL exam comprises four stages, and the exact vacancies will only be determined after the Tier 3 and Tier 4 stages.

It is crucial to remember that you only need one seat. Hence, rather than worrying about the number of vacancies, concentrate on your preparation. The SSC CGL offers a significant opportunity for candidates to enter the government sector.

Stay informed and prepared. Best of luck to all the candidates!
