The examination pattern consists of four subjects:

The total number of questions will be 100, adding up to a maximum of 200 marks. Candidates will be allotted 60 minutes (1 hour) to complete the test. Tentative exam dates are scheduled for May 6th and 8th, 2024.
Tips for Exam Preparation
To secure a selection in the SSC Phase 12 examination, understanding and strategizing according to the exam pattern is key. Candidates are advised to create a detailed study timetable and focus particularly on subjects where they feel weak. For instance, if English or Quantitative Aptitude is a challenge, dedicating more time to these areas can significantly improve overall performance. The competition is expected to be tough, so consistent effort and thorough preparation are essential.
