Chhattisgarh Mock Test 2027: Free CGPSC & Vyapam Series

CGPSC State Service Examination (Deputy Collector, DSP, Naib Tehsildar & Accounts Officer)

The Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission conducts the State Service Examination with the aim of recruiting administrative leaders for the state.

The preliminary exam consists of two objective papers, each worth 200 marks, and has a duration of four hours. Paper 1 (General Studies) is employed in order to decide which candidates will be shortlisted for the Mains exam, while Paper 2 (Aptitude Test / CSAT) requires a minimum qualifying score of 33% (23% in the case of reserved categories).

People who reach the first cutoff are then required to take the standard written Mains examination, which consists of seven compulsory papers each carrying 200 marks (making a total of 1,400 marks), the papers being in the areas of Language, Essay and five General Studies, after which there is a personal interview worth 100 marks.

CG Vyapam Recruitment (Hostel Superintendent, Patwari, Revenue Inspector & AG-3)

The Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board (CGPEB), which is also referred to as CG Vyapam, is responsible for direct recruitment to non-gazetted executive and ministerial positions.

The exam is a one-stage written test which is direct and comprises 150 objective questions for a total of 150 marks, and it has to be completed in three hours.

The course has parts dealing with Computer Knowledge, the Hindi Language, English Grammar, Mathematics, Mental Ability, Indian General Knowledge and Chhattisgarh General Knowledge. Applicants who are applying for clerical posts such as the Assistant Grade-3 post must take a practical computer typing test after they have finished the written examination.

Chhattisgarh Police Recruitment (Police Constable GD, Driver & Sub-Inspector Cadre)

The authority which is in charge of recruiting staff for uniformed positions at the state level in Raipur (PHQ) is the police recruitment board.

For Police Constable GD, the selection process gives equal weight to written knowledge and physical performance:

• The written test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions amounting to 100 marks and assesses the candidates' knowledge of General Knowledge, their Intelligence Ability, and their skills in Mathematics, with no negative marking.
• The Physical Efficiency Test (PET) consists of 100 marks, of which each of the five separate athletic events is worth 20 marks.
• The score that you get at your most recent appointment will be calculated according to your total score out of 200 (100 from the written section and 100 from the practical section).

School Education Department (CG TET & Shikshak Bharti Examinations)

Teachers in primary and middle schools are appointed by the Department of School Education via the Teacher Eligibility Test (CG TET) and through direct Teacher Recruitment Examinations.

The written test consists of 150 multiple-choice questions amounting to 150 marks and has a duration of 2.5 hours.

The paper consists of papers in Child Development and Pedagogy, Hindi, English, Mathematics, and either Environmental Studies or Social Science; in order to get the eligibility certificate needed for the state teacher recruitment exercises, candidates must achieve the qualifying scores appropriate to their category.

The exact requirement of 50% for Chhattisgarh's special GK

In CGPSC Prelims Paper 1, the syllabus establishes an exact 50:50 question split:

• Section A: General studies of India (50 questions / 100 marks).
• Section B: General knowledge of Chhattisgarh (50 questions / 100 marks).

The national test series usually upload general Indian GS tests which have only 5 or 10 questions from the states added by the way.

Candidates who do practice tests using general material are completely unprepared when they come into the examination room for questions on the 36 historical garhs, the Kalachuri administrative hierarchy, the 75-day Bastar Dussehra rituals, or on tribal customs such as Ghotul and therefore lose between 30 and 40 marks in the state paper.

2. The rule concerning the elimination of 50% of the computer candidates applying for the position of Vyapam Hostel Superintendent

The Computer Knowledge section of the examination for the position of Hostel Superintendent at CG Vyapam carries a mark value ranging from 30 to 50.

The commission has a strict qualifying rule according to which candidates must score at least 50 per cent of the maximum marks in the Computer Knowledge section on their own.

Once the computer section scores 50 marks, you must also score at least 25 in computers; if your mark in computers is 24, your answer sheet will be automatically rejected even though you have obtained full marks in mathematics, reasoning, and general studies. Most general testing websites are inclined to provide the total scores without taking into account this separate qualifying rule.

3. The difference in the penalties (when the case from the CGPSC involving one-third is compared with the case from Vyapam involving one-fourth and the police case which had no penalty)

Applying the same attempt strategy across different state examinations leads to poor results:

• In the CGPSC State Service Prelims, each question carries 2.0 marks and an incorrect answer results in a deduction of -0.66 marks (this is a one-third penalty); careless guessing can therefore cause your total score to drop quickly.
• In the CG Vyapam exams each question carries 1.0 mark and a mistake results in a deduction of -0.25 marks (this is a one-quarter penalty).
• Since there is no negative marking in the CG Police Constable written examinations, omitting questions which are doubtful results in losing marks that could have been obtained.

On our platform, there is a negative marking indicator for each test screen; the CGPSC tests display clear penalty warnings while the CG Police tests tell you to attempt all the questions before the time expires.

Paper 1, Part A: General Studies of India (50 questions | 100 marks)

Part A covers broad topics in national general studies:

• The ancient Indus civilization, the Mauryan and Gupta empires, the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal administrative systems, and the 1857 struggle for independence until 1947.
• The physical and social geography of India includes its major mountain ranges, river drainage basins, climate and monsoon cycles, soil types, and forest resources.
• The Constitution and Indian polity include fundamental rights, directive principles, parliamentary procedures, Supreme Court rulings, and constitutional amendments.
• The Indian economy and environment include national income accounting, monetary policy, biodiversity hotspots, climate agreements, and the sustainable development goals.
• The fundamental principles of physics, chemistry, human biology, and the more recent advances in space research.

Paper 1, Part B: General Knowledge of Chhattisgarh (50 questions | 100 marks)

Part B assesses knowledge of the state's heritage, resources, and administrative institutions:

• The history and dynasties of Chhattisgarh include the Kalachuris of Ratanpur and Raipur, the Kakatiyas of Bastar, the period of Maratha administration, British rule, and the campaigns for statehood.
• The tribal customs and culture include the 42 recognized tribal groups, traditional marriage customs, dances such as Karma, Dadariya, and Raut Nacha, and the indigenous festivals including Bastar Dussehra, Hareli, and Cherchera.
• Geography and natural resources include the Mahanadi, Sheonath, and Indravati river systems, the mineral deposits such as iron ore, bauxite, coal, and tin, as well as the national parks.
• The 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendments in Chhattisgarh relate to Panchayati Raj and local administration, including the three-tier Panchayati Raj system and urban local bodies.

Paper 2: Aptitude Test (CSAT including Chhattisgarhi Language – 33% qualifying)

Paper 2 assesses analytical reasoning, decision-making, and language comprehension:

• The paper has 100 questions, each of which is worth 2.0 marks.
• To qualify, unreserved candidates must score at least 33% (66 marks out of 200) (SC, ST and OBC candidates require 23% / 46 marks).
• One special aspect of the CGPSC CSAT is that it contains a section on the comprehension of the Chhattisgarhi language (with 15 to 20 questions) alongside Hindi; the questions cover regional idioms (Hana), riddles (Janula), and local grammar.
• Your marks in this paper have no effect on your preliminary merit score, but if a candidate fails to meet the 66-mark threshold they are immediately disqualified even if they have a good score in Paper 1.

The effect of negative marking is that a third of the marks are deducted (0.66 marks for each incorrect answer).

The effect of negative marking in the CGPSC requires careful selection of questions:

• You get +2.0 marks for each question that is answered correctly and a deduction of 0.66 marks for each incorrect answer.
• Three wrong answers result in a loss of 1.98 marks, exactly balancing out the marks obtained for one correct answer.
• Do not make a random guess from among the four unknown answers; instead, only try questions on which you can eliminate at least two options with full confidence.

Hostel Superintendent Exam: The Mandatory 50% Computer Qualifying Benchmark

The Hostel Superintendent (Chhatravas Adhikshak) examination includes a strict subject-specific cutoff:

• The Computer Knowledge section contains between 30 and 50 questions worth 30 to 50 marks.
• For candidates to be successful they must obtain at least 50 per cent of the marks in the Computer Knowledge section on their own.
• If there are 50 questions in the section then you must have at least 25 net marks in the computer subject.
• The key areas that concern computers include operating systems, the shortcuts in MS Office, networking protocols, hardware components, the different types of printers, search engines, and computer viruses.

The standard marking scheme for CG Vyapam (150 questions, 150 marks, with a –0.25 penalty)

For examinations like Patwari, Revenue Inspector (RI), and Assistant Grade-3:

• The paper contains 150 questions, each worth one mark, giving a total of 150 marks.
• You get +1.0 mark for each question answered correctly and lose 0.25 marks for each one answered incorrectly.
• The testing session lasts for three hours (180 minutes) and so the average time per question is 72 seconds.

Patwari & Revenue Inspector (RI): Math, Reasoning, Hindi & Computer Balance

Success in CG Vyapam depends on balanced performance across four high-weightage sections:

• The mathematics section (30 questions worth 30 marks) covers the arithmetic topics studied in Class 10, such as percentages, profit and loss, ratio and proportion, time and work, simple and compound interest, averages, and two- and three-dimensional mensuration.
• The part on computer knowledge (which consists of 20 to 30 questions worth 20 to 30 marks) tests practical knowledge of file management, spreadsheets, presentation software, and internet safety.
• The exam on Hindi (10 to 15 questions worth 10 to 15 marks) assesses knowledge of grammar rules, sandhi, samas, tatsam-tadbhava, parayavaachi, vilom shabda, and vakya shuddhi.
• The section on mental ability (which consists of 15 questions carrying 15 marks) covers topics including number series, coding and decoding, blood relationships, analogies, and Venn diagrams.

Ancient & Medieval Dynasties: Kalachuris of Ratanpur/Raipur & Kakatiyas of Bastar

The historical framework of Chhattisgarh centers around two major ruling dynasties:

• King Kalingaraja set up his capital at Tumman about 1000 AD, and it was not until his grandson Ratnadeva I in 1050 AD that the capital was moved to Ratanpur. The kingdom was divided into two administrative sections by the Sheonath River, each section consisting of 18 forts (Garhs), which is the origin of the region's historical name 'Chhattisgarh' (36 forts).
• The Kakatiya dynasty in Bastar was founded by Annamdeo in 1324 AD following the decline of Warangal; King Purushottam Deo introduced the custom of Bastar Dussehra and was granted the title of Rath-Pati by the priests of Puri, an event which in turn resulted in the establishment of the large wooden chariot procession.

Freedom Movement & Tribal Revolts: Veer Narayan Singh & 1910 Bhumkal Rebellion

Arunachal and Central tribal resistance against British rule produced notable regional leaders:

• Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh distributed grain which had been hoarded by wealthy merchants to the villagers who were suffering from famine in 1856. After he had been arrested by the colonial authorities he managed to escape, collected a tribal militia and then fought against British detachments before being executed at Jaistambh Chowk in Raipur on 10 December 1857.
• The rebellion of 1910 in Bhumkal was led by Gunda Dhur, the tribal hero of Nethanar village, and it was a protest against the British reservation of the traditional tribal forests and their exploitation of the tribal labourers; the signals used to coordinate the villages in Bastar were made with red chilies, bows and mango twigs.

Tribal Heritage & Social Institutions: Ghotul & Bastar Dussehra

Understanding the social customs of indigenous groups is necessary for state culture questions:

• It is a traditional youth dormitory within the Muria Gond community of Bastar and functions as a social learning centre at which young people are taught the values of the community, oral folklore, traditional discipline and musical arts.
• Bastar Dussehra (75 Days): This is acknowledged as the longest festival in the world, running for 75 days from the dark fortnight of Shravana to the bright fortnight of Ashvina; it does not involve the celebration of Ravana's defeat but rather pays tribute to the supreme patron goddess Danteshwari by means of various rituals, such as Pata Jatra (the worship of sacred wood) and Rath Parikrama.
• The indigenous communities consist of 42 recognized tribal groups, such as the Gond, the Baiga (who are known for their traditional medicine and tattooing), the Kamar (who are expert bamboo craftsmen), and the Abujhmaria (who live in the dense Abujhmad hills).

Physical Geography: Major River Basins, Minerals & Conservation Areas

Geography questions focus on river drainage and rich mineral deposits:

• The Mahanadi River Basin, being known as the lifeline of Chhattisgarh, begins in the Sihawa hills in the Dhamtari district and receives among other streams the Sheonath, Hasdeo, Mand, Ib and Pairi.
• The Indravati River rises in Odisha, flows westward across the Bastar plateau, creates the Chitrakote Waterfall (this is generally known as the "Niagara of India"), and then merges with the Godavari.
• Chhattisgarh is among the leading mineral-producing states in India and has substantial reserves of coal (in Korba and Raigarh), high-grade iron ore (in Bailadila, Dantewada, and Dalli Rajhara in Balod), bauxite (in Surguja and Korba), and tin ore (in Dantewada).
• The country has three national parks: Guru Ghasidas (also known as Sanjay), Indravati, and Kanger Valley, which includes the underground Kutumsar limestone caves and the state bird, the Bastar Hill Myna.

Chhattisgarhi Language & Grammar (Hana, Janula, Idioms & Literature)

Language questions appear regularly in the CGPSC CSAT paper and state language sections:

• Hana: Traditional proverbs containing farming knowledge, for instance, 'Ghar ke murghi daal barabar'.
• Janula: Traditional riddles use metaphor and make you think sideways. For example, 'Ek thurki ma do rang ke paani' means an egg.
• The literary tradition was formed because of the early literary works carried out by Pt. Sundarlal Sharma, Lochan Prasad Pandey, and Mukutdhar Pandey, thus helping to establish Chhattisgarhi as a distinct literary form.
