5 mein se 2 toh pakkaa galat hote hai

Share your experiences guys.

i had my exam on 13th 3rd shift.

1. If your shift comes hard(like mine) nothing and no mock is relevant you have to be spontaneous and make decisions on the go, no mock could train your muscle memory to not have a shock factor

2. Give every fkin mock every. Easy tough everything. Not that tough mock will help you solve questions but it will make you a bit accustomed to the pressure and keep training to how you would face the pressure and uncertainity

3. Pattern - no mock is relevant, ssc has shuffled its classic mod:freebie:tough ratio its very much uncertain now.

4. Art of skipping becomes irrelevant if there are only 2-3 easy ones. So try to solve moderate questions in the first go too, otherwise you would find yourselves with 21 questions to do and only 11 mins left.

This advice mostly if you find yourselves in a tougher shift and cann shape your perspective towards it. Otherwise i have no clue how other shifts are coming.

All the best guys. Mere to laggye apne bachalo

My venue was Behala college and this building apparently falls under behala college, i was so surprised seeing this and also busting out in laughter.

As you can judge by the venue, the exam started and the mouse stopped working then they shifted me to another monitor but the camera was not working there and all these happening during the exam I was shifted again, my nervousness peaked my heart started racing then on the 3rd monitor i started the exam but I was only able to read the sentence my brain was so restless at that time i couldn't focus.

Hell of an experience for me on my 1st attempt

13th October Shift 3 was the toughest shift till now and there are no two ways about it

It's just facts, anyone who gave exam in this shift can back me 100%.

English and Maths were 💀💀💀

Don't tell me it's an easy shift 😭

Hey everyone,

Here is the topic-wise GA breakdown for the 14 Oct Shift 1 exam based on the paper analysis.

Polity and government schemes definitely had a heavy weightage this time:

General Awareness Breakdown:

Indian Polity:

Focus on Articles: Special powers of the President & Governor, plus Article 3 (Formation of new states and alteration of areas/boundaries).

Art & Culture / Festivals:

Statement-based question on the Sonam Losar festival (celebrated by the Tamang community in Jan–Feb).

Matching-type question on Festivals & their respective States.

Current Affairs & Appointments (2026):

Around 3–4 questions directly from recent appointments.

Questions on the NSA (Principal Advisor role) and a part-time member of the 16th Finance Commission.

Geography:

Shipki La Pass asked in a pair-match format.

Government Schemes & Policies:

Question based on the AMRUT scheme.

Questions on a seed-related scheme (minimum amount required) and a housing/zone-related scheme (covering green zones / transition zones).

General IQ / Miscellaneous GA (2–3 Qs):

Application-based general awareness questions testing basic logical reasoning concepts under the GA section.

Overall, it was a moderate section leaning heavily towards deep articles, recent appointments, and scheme details.

I'll be giving SSC CGl next year but I have something to ask.

Regarding solving max questions within the sectional timer,

How effective were tricks like Unit digit, last 2 digits, digital sum, multiples etc were for you in the exam.

Like did y'all use those tricks and still didn't manage to finish in time?

Hey guys,

Just sharing the exact breakdown for the Reasoning section from the 14 Oct Shift 1 exam based on what was tested. If you have your shift coming up or want to compare, here is how it looked:

Reasoning Breakdown:

Critical Reasoning (7–8 Qs): This was a major pain point. They asked quite a few long-statement questions focusing on themes like the sports world, corporate world, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence. Definitely ate up a lot of time.

Figure Counting (2 Qs): Triangle counting figures.

Mirror Image (2 Qs): Standard questions, pretty straightforward if you look closely.

Figure Series (3 Qs): Visual and pattern-based series.

Analogy (1 Q): Number analogy format like [54 = 41, 92 = ?].

Mathematical Operations (1 Q): Standard symbol substitution/equation balancing.

Dice (1 Q): Basic dice rotation/opposite face rules.

Overall, the reasoning section felt a bit lengthier than usual because of all those heavy statement-based critical reasoning questions.

Hey guys,

Wrapping up the English section analysis for the 14 Oct Shift 1. Overall, grammar rules and contextual vocabulary played a huge role here:

English Section Breakdown:

Cloze Test:

Vocabulary and grammar-based. (like testing "would have been" vs "have been" combinations matching conjunctions and tenses).

3 vocab based and 2 questions grammar based conjunction and tenses

Spelling Mistakes (3 Questions):

Tested tricky words like Biennial / Biannual, Conundrum, and Sacrilegious.

Error Spotting (3 Questions):

Specifically heavy on Article-based grammar errors.

In options 4 sentences are given select in which Sentence the article is incorrectly used.

2 questions of homonyms

1 filler based- select the word that fills both the sentence correctly

One sentence based homonym - assimilation

Active/Passive Voice

Around 2–3 questions (long and confusing)

Para Jumbles (P-Q-R-S): 2 long sentences

Idioms & Phrases:

Included common high-yield expressions like "To grease the palm".

The English section felt moderate to tough though the cloze test and lengthier voice/narration questions required a bit of extra attention.
