6. What to Do Now — FRTA & Next Steps
Slot booking: 19–22 June 2026 | Sliding at Regional Offices: 1–2 July 2026
- Check Your Name in the Result PDF — Right Now — Visit ssc.gov.in → Results → Stenographer → click “Stenographers Grade ‘C’ and ‘D’ Examination, 2025 — List of Candidates Qualified in Skill Test.” Download the PDF (no login needed). Press Ctrl+F / Cmd+F and search your Roll Number or Name. Verify: Name, Roll Number, Category, and Post (Grade C / Grade D). In case of discrepancy, contact SSC HQ or your regional SSC office immediately in writing.
- URGENT — Book Your FRTA Sliding Slot by 22 June 2026 — Log in to ssc.gov.in using your SSC registration credentials. Navigate to the designated FRTA login module. Choose your preferred venue (Regional SSC office city), date (1 or 2 July 2026), and time slot for the sliding process. Deadline: 22 June 2026. Do this immediately — slots may be allocated on first-come basis and popular dates/slots may fill up. You cannot participate in FRTA if you do not book a slot in time.
- Attend FRTA Sliding at Regional SSC Office — 1–2 July 2026 — Attend the sliding process at your chosen SSC Regional Office on your booked date/slot. The sliding process is where you indicate your preferred Ministry/Department/Office for posting, within available vacancies. Allocation is done in merit rank order — higher rank candidates get first choice. Bring your SSC admit card, result printout, and a photo ID to the sliding venue.
- Document Verification at Allotted Department — After FRTA and tentative allocation, the allotted Ministry/Department will call you for Document Verification (DV). Carry originals + 2 self-attested copies each of: 10th certificate (DOB proof), 12th certificate (educational qualification), category certificate in GoI format (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS — issued fresh if OBC), PwBD/ESM certificates if applicable, Aadhaar card, recent passport photographs (8 copies). Failure to attend DV or document mismatch = disqualification.
- Medical Examination & Joining — After DV clearance, a pre-appointment medical examination is conducted at a designated Government hospital. On passing medical, a Police Verification of character and antecedents is initiated. The allotted department then issues a formal Appointment Order with joining date and location. A probation period begins on joining — performance is assessed before permanent confirmation as Stenographer Grade C / Grade D.
7. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which exam’s result has been declared on 18 June 2026?
The result declared on 18 June 2026 is the Skill Test Result for SSC Stenographer Grade ‘C’ & ‘D’ Examination, 2025. The CBT was conducted on 6, 7, and 8 August 2025 and the Stenography Skill Test was held on 28 and 29 January 2026. This is not the Exam 2024 result — that was a separate recruitment cycle. The 18 June 2026 result pertains to the 2025 exam cycle, which had 1590 vacancies.
Q2. How many candidates have been selected and what is the post-wise count?
A total of 1711 candidates have been shortlisted for FRTA against 1590 vacancies: Grade C: 228 candidates (UR: 119, OBC: 50, EWS: 27, SC: 22, ST: 10, VH: 2, HH: 1) | Grade D: 1483 candidates (UR: 711, OBC: 350, SC: 190, EWS: 146, ST: 86, OH: 15, HH: 11, VH: 12, ESM: 5, Others-PwBD: 2). The total (1711) slightly exceeds vacancies (1590) as the FRTA/sliding process involves preference-based allocation — final joining numbers align to actual vacancies after DV and medical.
Q3. What is the FRTA sliding process and what must I do immediately?
FRTA stands for First Round of Tentative Allocation — it is the department allocation/preference selection process. If your name is in the result PDF, you must immediately log in to ssc.gov.in and use the designated login module to select your preferred venue (Regional SSC office city), date (1 or 2 July 2026), and time slot for the sliding process. This slot booking window is open only from 19 June to 22 June 2026. At the actual sliding event (1–2 July 2026 at Regional Offices), you will indicate your preferred Ministry/Department based on available vacancies. Merit rank determines priority — higher rank = first pick.
Q4. What are the official CBT cutoff marks for this exam (Exam 2025)?
The CBT cutoff marks released by SSC for shortlisting to the Skill Test stage for Grade C are: UR 142.42577, OBC 141.77465, EWS 137.83071, SC 135.44087, ST 120.37748, OH 119.93641, VH 95.27935, HH 73.62062.

Total 22,456 shortlisted for Grade D Skill Test. All marks are out of 200 (normalised CBT scores).

The CBT cutoff determines who gets called for the Skill Test. A total of 31,080 candidates cleared the CBT cutoff and were shortlisted for the Skill Test (Grade C: 8,624 | Grade D: 22,456). Of these, only 17,471 actually appeared in the Skill Test. Of those who appeared, only 1,711 qualified — meaning they passed the Skill Test within the prescribed speed and time limit. The Skill Test is qualifying in nature — it does not add marks. The final merit list is based on CBT marks of those who passed the Skill Test. Journey: CBT (31,080 qualified) → Skill Test (17,471 appeared, 1,711 qualified) → FRTA (1,711) → DV → Appointment.
