The SSC CGL cutoff varies for the Tier 1 and Tier 2 exams because they are at different levels of difficulty and have different objectives. Tier 1 is a screening test that is an objective-type test, generally with a lower cutoff, and it is used for shortlisting candidates for Tier 2. Tier 2 is more advanced, consisting of multiple papers, and hence has a higher cutoff. Tier 2 has a higher difficulty level, and it is essential to qualify for the final round. The total SSC CGL selection depends upon the aggregate performance in the two exams, that is, the Tier 1 and Tier 2 exams.
