The SSC CGL 2016 notification has specified graduation as the minimum educational qualification for all posts.So if you have completed degree (any discipline) you are eligible to appear for the exams.
Staff Selection Commission (SSC) is conducting the CGL exam every year but the number of vacancies will be known only after the Tier I exam results are announced.
The government departments will be sending their list of openings individually which is the reason for delay in knowing the exact number of SSC CGL jobs.
