Syllabus & pattern at a glance
SSC GD has a single written stage — one computer-based paper in four parts. After it come the physical tests and the medical, which are qualifying and have no written syllabus.
CBE exam pattern
Four parts of 20 questions each, all objective multiple-choice, 2 marks per question. Your normalized CBE score, plus any NCC bonus, is what decides merit.
| Part & subject | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Part A · General Intelligence & Reasoning | 20 | 40 |
| Part B · General Knowledge & General Awareness | 20 | 40 |
| Part C · Elementary Mathematics | 20 | 40 |
| Part D · English / Hindi | 20 | 40 |
| Total | 80 | 160 |
CBE syllabus, part by part
Tap any part for the topics SSC lists in the notice. The official list is indicative and ends with “etc.”, so expect related questions at the same level too.
What the physical stage checks
There is no written syllabus after the CBE. Shortlisted candidates take a race (PET) and body measurements (PST), conducted by the CAPFs. Both are qualifying — they don’t add marks.
| Test | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Race (PET) | 5 km in 24 min | 1.6 km in 8½ min |
| Race (PET) · Ladakh region | 1.6 km in 7 min | 800 m in 5 min |
| Height (PST) | 170 cm | 157 cm |
| Chest (PST) | 80 cm unexpanded, 5 cm minimum expansion | Not measured |
| Weight (PST) | Proportionate to height & age | Proportionate to height & age |
Every part carries 40 marks
All four parts are worth the same, so none can be skipped. These are the core areas the notice names for each part — build your revision around them.
Part A · Reasoning
Part B · GK & GA
Part C · Elementary Maths
Part D · English / Hindi
