SSC CGL 2025 exam 'cancelled' in some centres on day 1 due to 'technical glitches', allege aspirants

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has reportedly cancelled the SSC Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGL 2025) tier-1 exam at various centres today due to technical and administrative reasons. Several aspirants have alleged that the SSC CGL 2025 tier-1 exam at Kanpur was cancelled due to mismanagement.

Students have claimed that the SSC CGL 2025 tier 1 exam at the Kanpur centre was delayed and did not begin on time. When candidates reached the exam centre, their admit cards were taken, and they were not allowed to attend the exam. Students said they were told there aren't enough seats available for them to attend the exam.

"This government has failed on every front. Now it is first day of CGL exam and exam is postponed due to technical and administrative reasons. Lakhs of students suffer but no accountability from govt or SSC," a user posted on X account.
