For Stenographer Grade C & D, SSC runs a multi-stage path. CBT ranks candidates for skill test; the stenography skill test is largely qualifying within prescribed error limits; preferences and allocation / sliding then map qualified candidates to Grade C / Grade D and departments.
Soft note: Earlier FRTA / revised FRTA notices (June–July 2026) were provisional. The 25 August 2026 file linked from Candidate Result is the final result release for this update — always open the PDF hosted on ssc.gov.in.
Stenographer Grade C and Grade D differ in pay level and typical posting pattern, but they share the same examination pipeline until preferences and allocation separate candidates. Soft note: if you tracked an earlier tentative department in FRTA, re-check the final PDF carefully — sliding and identity verification can change the mapped post even when your roll number stays selected.
Candidates who cleared skill test but do not appear in the final recommendation should wait for any marks module SSC may upload later. Soft note: skill-test qualification alone never guaranteed a seat once preferences, vacancies and category rules were applied.
Who Can Check This Result
Check the final PDF if you:
- Appeared in Stenographer Grade C & D Examination, 2025 CBT (6–8 August 2025)
- Were called for / appeared in the skill test (28–29 January 2026) as applicable
- Submitted option-cum-preference and followed FRTA / sliding / identity verification instructions where you were shortlisted
Candidates who failed skill-test standards or were not carried forward through allocation stages will not appear as finally recommended — soft note: wait for any separate marks upload before drawing conclusions about exact scores.

Details on the Result List / Scorecard
The final result PDF is primarily a recommendation / merit list of roll numbers after the full process. Soft note: SSC may publish:
- Roll-number list of finally selected / recommended candidates
- A write-up explaining vacancy counts, category rules and cut-offs
- Later, marks of selected / non-selected candidates in a separate module
Do not expect a banking-style login scorecard inside the same PDF. Match every figure only to files under ssc.gov.in.
Cut-Off & Merit — Soft Explanation
Category-wise cut-offs and last-selected candidate marks (where published) appear in the official result write-up. Merit typically combines normalised CBT performance with skill-test qualification and preference-based allocation; sliding / IV stages can change tentative department mapping before the final PDF.
Soft note: Do not rely on unofficial cut-off graphics circulating on social media. Grade C and Grade D cut-offs differ; comparing them blindly is misleading. If a number is not in the SSC write-up for this examination, treat it as unverified.
Selection Process (This Cycle)
- Computer Based Examination
- Skill Test in Stenography (qualifying error limits as fixed by SSC)
- Option-cum-Preference for Grade C / D and departments
- Tentative allocation (FRTA) — later revised with sliding mechanism
- Sliding / Identity Verification where applicable
- Final result published on 25 August 2026
What to Do After Qualifying / Appearing in the Final List
- Download and keep the result PDF and write-up
- Watch instructions from SSC and the allocated ministry / department for DV and joining
- Prepare originals: educational certificates, category / EWS / PwBD proofs (if claimed), photo ID, admit-card proofs, preference records
- Soft note: final joining still depends on eligibility verification by the cadre controlling authority
- Note any Grade C vs Grade D and ministry / department fields printed against your roll so you pack the right certificates
- Soft note: do not resign from existing employment until the allocated office issues joining instructions you can verify
If your roll number is missing, compare against any earlier FRTA printout you saved: a name that appeared tentatively can drop after sliding or IV. Soft note: only the 25 August 2026 final files control this guide’s outcome — treat social-media “extra lists” as unverified.
Documents to Keep Ready (If Recommended)
- SSC registration / admit card proofs
- Class 10 & 12 certificates (age / qualification)
- Graduation documents if asked by the allocated office
- Category / EWS / PwBD certificates (if claimed)
- Photo ID and passport photographs
