SSC CGL 2025 Re-Exam for Genuine Cases – Check Dates, Process & Portal
What is the SSC CGL Exam & What Happened
SSC CGL (Combined Graduate Level) is one of the big exams in India to get jobs in central government departments. Many candidates appear every year.
In 2025, the Tier-1 computer-based test (CBT) has begun. But, during the exam, some candidates faced technical disruptions—things like system restarts, glitches, maybe server issues. Because of that, some people didn’t get a smooth exam experience.
To address that, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has done two things:
Created a Feedback Portal where candidates can report their exam experience and mention if they had issues.
Announced that for “genuine cases” of disruption, a re-exam will be held. This is to ensure everyone is treated fairly.
Key Details of the Re-Exam & Feedback
Here are the main things you need to know:
The feedback portal was launched via candidate login on the official SSC website (ssc.gov.in).
In the first week after it opened, nearly 10,000 responses came in from candidates. Many reported problems. About 2,000 candidates said they had technical issues.
SSC said that these reports are being verified by regional offices. If a candidate’s case is found to be genuine, SSC will allow them to take the re-exam.
The re-exams are planned to be conducted on or before September 26, 2025, for affected candidates.

What Candidates Should Do
If you appeared or are appearing in the SSC CGL 2025 Tier-1 exam, here are the steps you should take:
Check if you had any technical issues. If yes, note them clearly: when, how, what exactly happened (system restart, software frozen, etc.).
Submit your feedback via the portal. Use the official SSC site via your candidate login. Be clear and honest.
Watch for updates. SSC will verify your complaint via regional offices. If approved, you’ll get a chance to re-take the exam. Keep checking SSC’s portal/notifications.
Prepare. Even while waiting, keep studying because exams continue, and even in the re-exam, you’ll do the same kind of test.
Be ready for new exam centre or shift details if SSC reschedules you; sometimes changes happen.
What SSC is Saying
SSC is trying to make sure things stay fair. Some of the things the Commission has stated:
No exam shift was cancelled or rescheduled on September 19, 2025, as per SSC.
They are taking every complaint seriously, and verifying via their regional offices.
For candidates whose complaints are genuine, SSC will conduct re-exam by or before September 26.
SSC has said the feedback portal’s response has been “encouraging,” meaning many candidates used it.
Why This Matters
Exams must be fair. If technical problems affect exam performance, it’s just right to give affected candidates another chance.
The feedback portal helps SSC know about problems directly from candidates. This helps avoid rumours or false info.
Timely re-exams ensure that candidate’s future plans, studies, or jobs aren’t affected unfairly because of something outside their control.
It also sets a precedent: exam bodies must take responsibility for glitches or issues, not just expect candidates to accept problems silently.
Things to Keep in Mind
Not everyone who complains will get a re-exam. Only cases verified as genuine will qualify. Make sure your complaint is detailed.
Re-exam will have same or similar format, so don’t assume it will be easier or different. Study as if preparing for the original exam.
Keep proof if possible (screenshots, time, what happened) because it helps verification.
Watch SSC’s official communication. Only trust what is posted on ssc.gov.in or via your candidate portal. Avoid rumours.
What We Don’t Know Yet
Some things are still not fully clear, but SSC will update:
Exact list of affected candidates and whether they’ll have exam centre change.
Whether there will be any compensation or special consideration beyond re-exam (e.g. extra time).
How re-exam schedules will be communicated individually.
If any shifts beyond technical issues will be rescheduled or cancelled in future.
Summary
SSC CGL 2025 Tier-1 exams started on September 12, 2025. Many candidates faced technical disruptions. SSC opened a feedback portal through ssc.gov.in; around 10,000 candidates responded in first week, with about 2,000 cases of technical issues being reported. Verified candidates with genuine issues will get re-exam on or before September 26, 2025. The Commission is aiming to keep the exam fair and transparent.
