When SSC releases its final merit list, every rank on that list is a matter of public record. There is no ambiguity. The Staff Selection Commission publishes the names, roll numbers, and ranks of selected candidates on its official website, ssc.gov.in, and these results are verifiable by anyone.

Against that backdrop, here is Career Heights Institute, Pala's record in national-level government examinations.

  • Ashish J Onatt secured All India Rank 2 in SSC CGL 2019, competing against 15,16,000 registered candidates. He was selected as Income Tax Inspector under the Central Board of Direct Taxes.

  • George E Mathew secured All India Rank 5 in SSC CGL 2021, competing against 14,39,000 registered candidates. He was also selected as Income Tax Inspector under CBDT.

  • Fouziya N secured All India Rank 1 in SSC CGL JSO 2023 and joined as a Junior Statistical Officer.

  • Mohammad Sarjad secured All India Rank 11 in SSC CPO 2023 and All Kerala Rank 1 in the same examination. He joined as a Sub Inspector.

  • Anju Rathapally secured All India Rank 2 in the CSIR NIO Junior Secretariat Assistant examination 2025 and joined at the National Institute of Oceanography.

All of the above results are sourced from official SSC and CSIR merit lists published on their respective government websites.


What These Numbers Actually Mean

SSC CGL is one of the most competitive examinations in India. In 2019, when Ashish J Onatt secured Rank 2, over 15 lakh candidates had registered. In 2021, when George E Mathew secured Rank 5, the registered candidate count was over 14 lakh. A top-5 All India Rank in an examination of this scale is not a routine achievement. It reflects a standard of preparation that goes beyond covering the syllabus.

It also reflects something less visible but equally important: the quality of the foundation built during preparation. SSC CGL tests Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, English Language, and General Awareness. These are the same four subjects that form the backbone of over 50 central government examinations. A student who tops SSC CGL has not just cleared one exam. They have demonstrated mastery of the shared syllabus that underpins the entire central government recruitment landscape.


What This Means for Aspirants

Top ranks are not the goal for every student, and they do not need to be. The goal is a central government job. But the preparation system that produces top-rank holders is the same system that produces consistent selections across examinations, year after year.

At Career Heights, we do not run separate courses for SSC, Railways, or Banking. We build one foundation, and we build it thoroughly. The results above are evidence of what that foundation can produce at its highest level. The 1,500+ selections since 2015 are evidence of what it produces consistently.
