**New Delhi, [Date – Insert Today’s Date]** – The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Combined Graduate Level Examination (CGLE) 2025 witnessed a substantial number of applications, but a significantly lower actual attendance, according to official sources.

Approximately 2.8 million (28 lakh) candidates registered for the highly competitive examination, vying for various Group B and C posts in government ministries and departments.

However, when the examination commenced, the actual number of candidates who appeared was considerably lower, with around 1.35 million (13.5 lakh) ultimately taking the test.

The reason for the large discrepancy between applications and attendance remains unclear. Common reasons for candidates not appearing in exam are due to candidates applying for multiple exams, logistical difficulties, or changes in career plans.

The SSC is expected to release results in the coming weeks. Successful candidates will then proceed to the next stages of the selection process, which typically includes document verification and skill tests (where applicable).
