SSC has officially released the Stenographer Grade C & D 2025 FRTA Result. Access the cutoff write-up and first tentative allocation list here.
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially declared the First Round of Tentative Allocation (FRTA) Result for the Stenographer Grade ‘C’ and Grade ‘D’ Examination, 2025. Released on June 18, 2026, this deployment update marks the rollout of a modernized selection framework following the commission’s recent administrative modifications to the final screening process.
Under this system, the commission does not issue a conventional flat final list immediately after the stenography skill test. Instead, it utilizes an interactive sliding layout. This initial allocation roster processes 10,132 candidates who logged their mandatory departmental and regional option-cum-preferences online. It provisionally recommends 228 candidates for Grade ‘C’ and 1,483 candidates for Grade ‘D’ posts.
