SSC Stenographer Grade C, D Recruitment 2025 Final Result

G Team Govtjobupdates 29 Oct 2026 · 4 min read

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) announced the SSC Stenographer Grade C, D Recruitment 2025 final result on 25 August 2026. The recruitment covers 1,715 posts across the two grades and has progressed through the written examination and subsequent skill-test schedule.

For candidates, the key distinction is between the earlier examination result and the final selection outcome. This article explains how to access the final result, places the recruitment milestones in sequence, and sets out the grade-specific vacancy, eligibility and transcription requirements.

The recruitment retains its 2025 examination name even though the final result was announced in 2026. Candidates should therefore identify the relevant document by both its title and its stage, rather than relying on the year alone.

SSC provides separate documents for the final result and final cut-off, allowing candidates to consult the selection outcome and the accompanying cut-off information separately.

How to Access the Final Result and Score Card

The SSC Stenographer final result PDF provides direct access to the published result document. The final cut-off write-up is a separate document and should not be confused with the result itself.

For the website-based result and score-card route, candidates should keep their roll number or application number and date of birth ready for any required entry fields.

Recruitment Timeline: From Registration to the Skill Test

The application and fee-payment deadlines fell on the same day, so the registration schedule did not provide a separate later payment date. The examination phase then moved through city intimation, admit-card release, the written examination and a defined answer-key objection window.

The November result preceded the January skill test, making those two milestones distinct from the final result now available.

Milestone	Date	Operational significance
Notification and application opening	05 June 2025	The notification and online registration began on the same date.
Application and fee-payment deadline	26 June 2025	Both submission and payment had the same closing date.
Written-examination city intimation	31 July 2025	City information preceded the admit card.
Written-examination admit card	04 August 2025	The admit-card release came before the examination window.
Written examination	06 to 08 August 2025	SSC conducted the examination across this date range.
Answer key	22 August 2025	The answer-key release coincided with the opening of objections.
Answer-key objection window	22 to 25 August 2025	Candidates had this defined period to raise objections.
Examination result	28 November 2025	This result preceded the skill-test phase.
Skill-test city intimation	20 January 2026	City information was released ahead of the skill test.
Skill test	28 and 29 January 2026	The recruitment moved to its practical skill-assessment phase.

Grade-Wise Vacancies and Transcription Requirements

Grade D accounts for the larger share of vacancies, while Grade C has the smaller intake. Both grades require a 12th pass or equivalent qualification from a recognised board or institution in India.

The transcription time differs by grade and language, with Grade C allowing less time than Grade D for both English and Hindi.

Post	Vacancies	Educational qualification	English transcription	Hindi transcription
Grade C	232	12th pass or equivalent from a recognised board or institution in India	40 minutes	55 minutes
Grade D	1,483	12th pass or equivalent from a recognised board or institution in India	50 minutes	65 minutes

These figures specify transcription time, not a stated dictation speed. Candidates should keep that distinction clear when interpreting the practical requirements for each grade.

Age Eligibility and Application Fees

The age rules use 01 August 2025 as the calculation date, rather than the examination date or final-result date. Both grades share the same minimum age, but Grade C has a higher upper age limit.

The application fee structure separates General/OBC applicants from the listed exempt categories, including female applicants across all categories.

Minimum age for both grades: 18 years.
Maximum age for Grade D: 27 years.
Maximum age for Grade C: 30 years.
General/OBC application fee: ₹100.
SC/ST/PH application fee: ₹0.
Female applicants of all categories: ₹0.

Selection Structure and the Role of Each Stage

The listed selection sequence contains multiple stages rather than a single examination-based decision. It begins with a computer-based test (CBT), includes a descriptive stage and skill test, and proceeds through document verification to the final selection list.

This structure distinguishes examination performance, practical assessment and document checking instead of treating an earlier result as the final recruitment outcome.

CBT examination
Descriptive stage
Skill test
Document verification
Final selection list

The stage names do not specify their marks, weightage or qualifying thresholds. Those details should not be inferred from the order of selection or from the transcription timings.

Grade C and Grade D Pay Structure

The two grades carry different monthly pay ranges and grade-pay amounts. Grade C has the higher stated range as well as the higher grade pay.

The figures below describe the listed pay structure; they do not establish an in-hand salary or provide an allowance-and-deduction calculation.

Post	Monthly pay range	Grade pay
Grade C	₹9,300 to ₹34,800	₹4,200
Grade D	₹5,200 to ₹20,200	₹2,400
