Shift Timings
The exam runs in three shifts on each date:
| Shift | Reporting Time | Gate Closure | Exam Start | Exam End |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shift 1 | 7:30 AM | 8:30 AM | 9:00 AM | 10:30 AM |
| Shift 2 | 11:15 AM | 12:15 PM | 12:45 PM | 2:15 PM |
| Shift 3 | 3:00 PM | 4:00 PM | 4:30 PM | 6:00 PM |
Reach early. Gate closure means gate closed, no exceptions and no sob stories accepted at the entrance.
Exam Pattern at a Glance

|---|---|
| General Science | 25 |
| Mathematics | 25 |
| General Intelligence and Reasoning | 30 |
| General Awareness and Current Affairs | 20 |
| Total | 100 |
You get 90 minutes to finish, or 120 minutes if you are a PwBD candidate with a scribe. Each correct answer earns one mark, and each wrong answer costs you a third of a mark. So guessing wildly is not your friend here.

|---|---|
| UR | 40 |
| EWS | 40 |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 30 |
| SC | 30 |

There is no sectional cut off, so you just need to clear the overall score for your category.
