Tier 2
Tier 3
Tier 4

As per SSC stats, 3 million people from all parts of the country have applied for SSC CGL Posts this year i.e 2017. SSC as we know is responsible for hiring or recruiting people for various government departments in different states. Most people in our country want to get a government job for obvious reasons, and SSC CGL is one of the best carrier options they can get in government departments.

Since the minimum age to apply for CGL starts from 18(or 20) years up to an upper age limit of 27(or 30 or 32) years (different posts have different age slabs) therefore it’s not a surprise that people apply for this exam not once or twice, but as many times as they can. Those who have given CGL exams at least once are most likely to be aware of the paper pattern and syllabus. But, for novices who don’t know a thing about SSC CGL paper patterns and syllabus, this article will certainly help you.

SSC CGL Paper Pattern And Syllabus

Quite often, people are confused about the pattern through which one can get recruited by SSC for the desired post. The process of selection is simple, one can get in grade ‘B’ or grade ‘C’ post through CGL.

As you know various posts come under CGL, and tests are conducted in 4 steps called tiers. In order to be eligible for the next tier, a person has to first clear tire 1. Following is the detailed description of the SSC CGL paper pattern and Syllabus tire-wise.

# Tier – I (Prelims)

Anyone who has applied for CGL is eligible to give the Tier – I exam, and without clearing this exam, one can not be eligible to appear for the Tier-II exam. Clearing tier I will make you eligible for various posts.

Tier I Paper Pattern

General Intelligence & reasoning (Syllabus) 25 50
General Awareness (Syllabus) 25 50
Quantitative Aptitude (Syllabus) 25 50
English Comprehension (Syllabus) 25 50
Total 100  200
Time 60 min
Note*: candidates suffering from cerebral palsy will be given 80 minutes of time

Let’s understand this table in detail. The paper can be divided into 4 sections namely, general intelligence & reasoning, general awareness, quantitative aptitude, and English comprehension. All of this section will contain 25 questions, and each question will carry 2 marks.

So, the whole paper will be a total of 200 marks, and a composite time of 1 hour (60 min.) will be given to complete the paper. Candidates who are suffering from cerebral palsy will get 20 minutes extra, i.e they will have to complete the paper within 80 minutes.

Negative Marking

Since there will be negative marking, therefore, candidates should be very careful while answering the questions. For every wrong answer, 0.5 marks will be deducted from your score. So, don’t play the guessing game and do not select an answer if you are not sure about it.

The paper will be conducted online, hence, the paper will be objective type. There will be a question for which 4 options will be given, candidates will have to select the right answer and then move on to the next question. After all the questions are complete, candidates can submit the paper.

People often get nervous when they hear of online tests because they have never seen one before. There is nothing to worry about, an online test is better than an offline as the chances of mistakes are less, and you can easily mark or unmark any question whenever you want.

So this is the syllabus for SSC CGL tier-II now let’s move on to the tier II syllabus and paper pattern.

# Tier III

Tier 1 and 2 will be objective-type papers in which 4 choices are given for every question. But Tier 3 is totally different from the previous ones. It is descriptive type paper, which means that you will use pen and paper to write this exam.

The paper is conducted in Hindi and English, and it’s up to the candidate in which language s/he chooses to give the exam. The answer sheet will not be checked if some answers are given in Hindi while some are in English. The answers can be written only in one language.

Tier III SYLLABUS AND PAPER PATTERN

Following are the main points of the tier 3 exam :

  • The paper will be a pen-paper (descriptive) type.
  • Paper can be given in English or Hindi.
  • Candidates need to write an essay/passage of approx 250 words.
  •  A letter/Application of approx 150 words.
  • Marks = 100, time = 60 min (80 min. for candidates suffering from cerebral palsy).
  • Minimum 33 percent are needed to qualify for this exam.
  • The paper will be of the 12th level.

There is not much to talk about tier 3, but there is surely a lot to practice in order to prepare for this part. So, keep your preparation high and achieve your goal.

# Tier IV

Tier- IV exam is not applicable to all posts, It is conducted only for such posts that require computer knowledge and typing skills. Therefore, Tier-4 includes two skill tests that are qualifying in nature. The two tests are:

i. Computer Proficiency Test (CPT) and

ii. Data Entry Speed Test (DEST). `

CPT will be held only for those particular candidates who have also applied for the following post/s:

Assistant Section Officer of Central Secretariat Service (CSS)

Assistant Section Officer (MEA)

Assistant in Serious Fraud Investigation Officer (SFIO) Under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs

Assistant (GSI) in the Ministry of Mines.

While DEST will hold only for those particular candidates who have also applied for the post of Tax Assistant (Central Excise and Income Tax).

Note: In Tier- 4 a candidate will go through only one skill test either CPT or DEST, according to the type of skill required for that post as discussed above.

The task for Computer Proficiency Test (CPT)

Word Processing
In this test, candidates are given an English passage, and they have to make 2000 key depression in 15 minutes. This means that a candidate has to press keys 2000 times in 15 minutes with accuracy to qualify for this round. Accuracy means not some meaningless random words, but the words and symbols are given in the passage. Spreadsheet
Candidates need to have basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel sheets for this test. Some basic maths calculations will be given to perform in an excel sheet. Generation of slides
Like the spreadsheet, in this test candidates must have knowledge of Microsoft PowerPoint. You will need to make the PowerPoint slide show, and some other questions will also be asked related to a PowerPoint.

The task for Data Entry Speed Test (DEST) 

This is a simple typing test. In this, candidates are needed to give 2000 key depression in 15 minutes. An English passage is given, and you will type according to that passage.
