💡 Expert Tip

Since this exam includes negative marking of 1/4 mark for every wrong answer, avoid guessing on questions where you're not reasonably confident — a few careless attempts can wipe out marks earned elsewhere. Part-A and Part-B both carry independent qualifying standards of 40%, so don't focus only on your strong subject and neglect the other section; scoring well in general reasoning but failing to clear 40% in the subject-specific Part-B will disqualify you regardless of your total score. Keep your original educational certificates, computer knowledge certificate (or be ready to clear a basic computer test before appointment if you don't have one), category certificates, and a recent passport-size photograph with white background ready well before the document verification stage. Also double-check your category selection before confirming your application, since GSSSB does not allow any changes to the category field after confirmation.
