What is the SSC GD Constable exam?
SSC GD Constable is the Staff Selection Commission's recruitment exam for the post of Constable (General Duty) in the Central Armed Police Forces — the BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP and SSB — as well as the Assam Rifles, the Secretariat Security Force, the NIA and as a Sepoy in the Narcotics Control Bureau. It is one of India's largest recruitment exams by number of applicants, because it needs only a Class 10 qualification and offers a secure uniformed-services career to lakhs of young aspirants each year.
The selection has three parts: a Computer Based Test (CBT), a Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Standard Test (PET/PST), and a Detailed Medical Examination. The CBT is a 60-minute, 80-question paper across four equal sections — Reasoning, General Knowledge & Awareness, Elementary Mathematics and English/Hindi — set at matriculation level. Because it has negative marking and is speed-based, accuracy under time is what decides your CBT score, and the CBT score is what decides final merit.
