Syllabus / format overview
- Tier-I is a computer-based objective exam used for shortlisting.
- Later tiers may include descriptive work and DEST (typing) for some posts.
- Subjects typically cover Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude and English.
- Exact pattern and negative marking are in the year’s official notice on ssc.gov.in.
Study plan
- Week 1: Learn the official Tier-I format; one diagnostic mixed set.
- Week 2: Weakest section in Pomodoro blocks (25 on / 5 off).
- Week 3: Timed section practice with the countdown timer.
- Week 4: Two full mocks; review every miss; typing practice if DEST applies.
Tip checklist
