SSC CGL 2023 Age Limit: Worried Aspirants Continue to Flood Twitter Over Age Reckoning Issue

SSC CGL 2023 Age Limit: Aspirants are now trending #SSC_CGL_Age_Reckoninh_1_JAN on the microblogging site – Twitter and demanding the Commission to revise the date of SSC CGL 2023 age eligibility.

SSC CGL Age Limit: Following the announcement of the SSC CGL examination detailed notification by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC)  — the exam conducting body, Aspirants are now trending #SSC_CGL_Age_Reckoninh_1_JAN on the microblogging site – Twitter and demanding the Commission to revise the date of SSC CGL 2023 age eligibility. At present, the Staff Selection Commission Combined Graduate Level (SSC CGL 2023) application process is underway.

Why Are SSC CGL Aspirants Tweeting?

The Commission has set August 1, 2023, as the age recognition date to ensure the age limit criteria for recruitment to various positions. However, several applicants have urged the Central Government to change the age reckoning date for eligibility to the SSC CGL examination from August 1 to January 1, 2023. In response to the SSC CGL age reckoning issue, several applicants have flooded Twitter and other social media platforms. “The candidates who have appeared in their final year of their graduation can also apply, however they must possess Essential qualification on or before the cut-off date i.e. 01-08-2023,” SSC in the official notification said. Applicants have taken to social media to express their concerns, tagging authorities such as PM Modi, the Official Twitter Account of Department of Personnel & Training, and using hashtags such as #SSC_CGL_AGE_RECKONING_1_JAN and #SSC_CGL_1JAN.

The Commission will conduct the Combined Graduate Level Examination (SSC CGL 2023) for filling up of various Group ‘B’ and Group ‘C’ posts in different ministries and departments of the Government of India and various constitutional bodies. Nearly 7,500 vacant posts will be filled through this recruitment drive. The last date to apply is May 3, 2023. However, candidates began asking the commission to change the age restriction. While an official notification from SSC regarding the age limit is awaited, here’s how students have been reacting. Check the tweets below.

Echoing a similar concern, a Twitter user wrote, “I yet am to turn 27 this year and should be considered eligible for 18-27 group. But why SSC is reckoning age from the date 01-08-23? We deserve one more chance, please revise date.”
