SSC CGL Model Papers

SSC CGL model papers (also called sample papers) are full-length practice papers built on the latest SSC CGL exam pattern. Solving them is one of the most effective ways to prepare — you get familiar with the type and difficulty of the questions, learn to manage your time, and find the topics that need more revision before the actual exam.

Why solve SSC CGL model papers?

• Get used to the real exam pattern, section-wise weightage and level of difficulty.
• Build speed and accuracy by practising under timed, exam-like conditions.
• Find your weak areas early and revise them before the exam.
• Get comfortable with the computer-based test (CBT) format and the marking scheme.

SSC CGL exam pattern

The SSC CGL Tier 1 is a computer-based test of 100 questions and 200 marks, to be attempted in 60 minutes, across four sections:

There is a negative marking of 0.50 mark for each wrong answer in Tier 1. Tier 2 is a separate, more advanced computer-based examination.

How to use these SSC CGL model papers

1. Attempt each paper in a single sitting with a timer, exactly like the real exam.
2. Do not check the answers midway — complete the full paper first.
3. Review your attempt and mark every question you got wrong or guessed.
4. Revise those topics thoroughly, then move on to the next paper.
