Hey Reddeppa Reddy, if you do not wish to appear for the 3rd & 4th paper then it is okay if you do not write the exam. But remember that you
will be evaluated on your performance of Paper I & II and thus will be allotted a post accordingly. You will not be eligible for Statistical
Investigator/Officers post!
All the Best!

Actually the application date for this examination has passed, so you can anyways not apply for . it now. Also, to be eligible for the exam this
year it was compulsory that you will have completed your graduation by August, 2017, so you were also not eligible to apply this year.
But there are many other exams that you can target, which job profile are you particularly interested in?

Yes! It is mentioned in the notification that the Tier 1 marks will also be included while calculating the total score, however along with this it is
also stated that SSC has the rights to change this rule anytime.

You are 'not' required to send any of the documents/application form in physical form anywhere. For SSC CGL 2017, only submitting the
application form(without any mistakes) online was sufficient to authenticate yourself as a candidate of the exam.

Mounika, since you have completed your graduation you are eligible for all the posts that you have applied for! Have you tried
attempting any mock tests or previous year papers ? How much is your average score in each section?

for being eligible for SSC CGL

As you already know there is no provision to make any changes to the registration details once you have submitted the application. There can
be a problem but if it crops up during the document verification process than you can make a clarification to the authorities.

You are eligible for all the posts except that of Junior Statistical Officer (JSO) and if you have scored more than 60% marks in Mathematics
(Class 10th) then you are eligible for the post of JSO also

Don't worry! It won't affect your candidature for the other posts, you will get your admit card!

Basically there are just 3 tiers (Tier III is the descriptive paper) and then in Tier IV there are Skill Tests (DEST/ CPT etc.) for
some specific posts and for all the other posts there will be just document verification process.
Since Tier III is mandatory, inorder to acquire a seat through the SSC CGL examination you will have to get through the Tier III
examination also!
