Exciting news for all Hindi Translator job seekers! The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) recently announced that the much-awaited Paper II exam for the Combined Hindi Translator (CHT) posts will be held on December 14, 2025. This marks a major step towards filling a whopping 552 vacancies—up from the earlier count of 437! The journey so far: On November 4, 2025, SSC declared the Paper I results where 3,642 candidates successfully crossed the objective test. After careful review and updating of answer keys due to candidate objections, SSC ensured total fairness. However, two candidates had their results withheld due to administrative hiccups, and six others were disqualified for breaking exam rules. What’s in Paper II? This stage is an intense descriptive showdown, testing candidates’ bilingual prowess. It demands translating two passages—one from Hindi to English and the other from English to Hindi—plus writing two essays, one in each language. Aspirants must show sharp grammar, clear meaning, and perfect expression to win these 200 marks. The exam will last two hours but gets extended by 40 minutes for differently-abled candidates. Cut-offs from Paper I varied by category, with the highest at 119.25 for Unreserved candidates and 105.75 for OBCs, showing fierce competition. Other categories like EWS, SC, ST, and PwBD have their respective cut-off marks too. How does final selection work? SSC combines scores from both papers to rank candidates. Afterward, document verification follows, checking certificates, identity proofs, and category documents. This step is crucial before the final merit list and job allocation. Candidates! Keep an eye out for Paper II admit cards about a week before the exam. They must carry it along with a valid photo ID used in Paper I. Remember, no electronic gadgets will be allowed inside the exam hall. All eyes are now on December 14, 2025, the big day when translation talent meets the test! Will you translate your future confidently? Stay tuned!
