CGSSB Group 2 Recruitment 2026 – Overview

CGSSB Group 2 Recruitment 2026 – Important Dates

The last date to apply and the last date to pay the fee are the same day, 27 November 2026 at 5:00 PM. Do not wait for the last day, because the portal may slow down under heavy load.

CGSSB Group 2 Vacancy 2026 – Post-Wise and Category-Wise Details

Assistant Grade-3 has the most vacancies at 1,206 posts, which is 71 percent of the total 1,703 posts. Next are Assistant Sub Inspector-A (District Unit Cadre) with 279 posts and Registration Clerk with 50 posts. The full break-up from the official detailed advertisement is below. Note that an October short notice mentioned 1,710 posts across 12 posts, but the live detailed advertisement lists 1,703 posts across 10 posts, and 1,703 is the correct current total.

Category-wise total posts. The detailed advertisement gives a UR, SC, ST and OBC split only for the first six posts, shown in the table above. For Assistant Grade-3, Registration Clerk and the two Assistant Sub Inspector-A posts, the advertisement gives only department-wise and district-wise rows, with no per-post category summary. There is no EWS column anywhere in the documents read, so no EWS figure is given here.

CGSSB Group 2 Eligibility Criteria 2026

Age limit. The G20227 documents do not state a single age limit or a cut-off date for this recruitment. Eligibility is governed by the post-wise department recruitment rules, and the official hub page links 268 gazette rule PDFs at vyapamprofile.cgstate.gov.in/online/bhartiniyam.html. Candidates must check the recruitment rules of the department for the post they are applying for before submitting the form. No age figure is given in this article because the official documents do not state one.

Post-wise qualification. The G20227 documents also do not print a per-post qualification table. The online application form asks for Higher Secondary (10+2), graduation, a one-year computer diploma, a Modern Office Management diploma, and Hindi and English shorthand certificates (80 and 100 words per minute) as fields, but it does not map these qualifications to individual posts. Do not treat any of these as the qualification for a specific post unless the department recruitment rules for that post say so. This is the one point on which no ranking page gives a verified answer either, because the detailed advertisement itself does not print it.

Who can apply. The fee refund rule in the official notice applies to Chhattisgarh domicile candidates who appear in the exam, which confirms that domicile status matters for this recruitment. Candidates from outside Chhattisgarh should read the detailed advertisement and the department recruitment rules before applying.

CGSSB Group 2 Application Fee 2026

How the fee is paid. The fee is paid online only. Chhattisgarh domicile candidates who appear in the exam get the fee refunded, as per state rules. The correction fee is Rs 50.

CGSSB Group 2 Correction Window – What Can Be Changed

The correction window is open from 28 November 2026 to 30 November 2026 till 5:00 PM, and the correction fee is Rs 50.

Fields that cannot be changed. The detailed advertisement does not list which fields can or cannot be changed during the correction window. The one rule it does state clearly is that the post-and-department preference order is mandatory and irreversible, so treat that choice as final at the time of submission.

Fee warning. The correction fee is Rs 50, and the application fee is refunded only to Chhattisgarh domicile candidates who appear in the exam.

CGSSB Group 2 Exam Pattern 2026

There is a single written exam for all 10 posts, with the same pattern for every post.

CGSSB Group 2 Selection Process 2026

Stage 1 – Written exam. Selection is based on a single written exam of 100 objective questions for 100 marks, with negative marking of 1/4 mark per wrong answer. There is no interview stage mentioned in the official documents.

Stage 2 – Merit and allotment. Merit is based on the written exam, and allotment follows the post-and-department preference order filled in the application, which is why that order is mandatory and irreversible.

CGSSB Group 2 Salary 2026
