SSC CHSL is a two-stage computer-based exam — Tier 1 and Tier 2 — followed by a qualifying Skill Test or Typing Test, held for the LDC/JSA and DEO posts named in the official scheme. Tier 1 screens everyone across four equal sections: Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude and English. Tier 2 is the deciding stage — only its Mathematical Abilities + Reasoning section and English + General Awareness section count toward the final merit, while the Computer Knowledge module and the Skill/Typing Test are qualifying only — so put your deepest daily effort into those two scored Tier 2 sections.

Exam Pattern

Two computer-based stages plus a qualifying skill/typing test.

TIER 1 (Computer Based Exam, screening):

  • 4 sections, 25 questions each = 100 questions, 200 marks total.

1. General Intelligence & Reasoning — 25 Q / 50 marks

2. General Awareness — 25 Q / 50 marks

3. Quantitative Aptitude (Basic Arithmetic) — 25 Q / 50 marks

4. English Language (Basic Knowledge) — 25 Q / 50 marks

  • Marking: +2 for each correct answer, -0.50 for each wrong answer. No penalty for unattempted. Objective MCQ.
  • Duration: 60 minutes (80 minutes for scribe-eligible/PwBD candidates).

TIER 2 (Computer Based Exam, decisive stage — held in one day across two sessions):

SESSION I (2 hours 15 min total, three sections, two modules each):

  • Section I: Module-I Mathematical Abilities (30 Q) + Module-II Reasoning & General Intelligence (30 Q) = 60 Q / 180 marks / 1 hour.
  • Section II: Module-I English Language & Comprehension (40 Q) + Module-II General Awareness (20 Q) = 60 Q / 180 marks / 1 hour.
  • Section III, Module-I: Computer Knowledge Module — 15 Q / 45 marks / 15 min. This module is MANDATORY but QUALIFYING ONLY — it does NOT count toward the final merit.

SESSION II:

  • Section III, Module-II: Skill Test / Typing Test Module — qualifying in nature (Typing Test for LDC/JSA; Skill Test/DEST for DEO).
  • Marking in Tier 2 MCQ modules: +3 for each correct answer, -1 for each wrong answer. Negative marking applies to Section I, Section II, and Module-I of Section III.
  • FINAL MERIT is prepared on the basis of Section I + Section II only = 360 marks (Computer Knowledge Module and Skill/Typing Test are qualifying, not scored for merit).

Note: Exact figures are as per the standard SSC-revised scheme in use since the 2022-23 cycle and confirmed for 2025-26; candidates should still confirm against their specific-year Notice PDF on ssc.gov.in, as SSC can revise details.

Full Syllabus

1 Tier 1 — General Intelligence & Reasoning (verbal + non-verbal)
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
semantic/symbolic/number/figural analogyAnalogy — find the same relationship in words, symbols, numbers or figures as in the given pair; practice by first naming the relationship in one word.
classification and seriesClassification and series — spot the odd one out in a group, or find the next term in a number/letter/figure sequence; look for the pattern, don't guess.
coding-decodingCoding-decoding — letters or numbers are substituted by a rule; work out the rule from the example given, then apply it to the new word.
problem solvingProblem solving — short logical puzzles that test how you apply reasoning to everyday situations; read the question twice before choosing an option.
word buildingWord building — arrange or rearrange letters of a given word to form new, meaningful words; a strong vocabulary base helps here.
numerical/arithmetical reasoningNumerical/arithmetical reasoning — logic-based questions built around numbers, not calculation speed; read what relationship is being tested first.
relationship conceptsRelationship concepts (blood relations, etc.) — trace family or link relationships through a family-tree sketch on paper rather than in your head.
space visualization and spatial orientationSpace visualisation and spatial orientation — imagine how a shape looks from another angle or after moving; practice by mentally rotating simple figures.
visual memoryVisual memory — remember a figure or arrangement shown briefly, then identify it again among similar-looking options.
discrimination and observationDiscrimination and observation — spot small differences between similar-looking figures or items by comparing them carefully, feature by feature.
venn diagramsVenn diagrams — draw overlapping circles to show how given groups relate, then read the answer straight off the diagram.
drawing inferencesDrawing inferences — decide which conclusion logically follows from the given statement, using only what is stated, not outside knowledge.
punched-hole/pattern folding-unfoldingPunched-hole/pattern folding-unfolding — a paper is folded and a hole punched; picture how the holes appear when it is unfolded, by mentally mirroring each fold.
embedded figuresEmbedded figures — a small shape is hidden inside a bigger, cluttered figure; trace the small shape's outline carefully to find where it sits inside.
figural pattern completionFigural pattern completion — a grid or sequence of figures has one piece missing; find the logic across rows/columns and pick the matching piece.
critical thinkingCritical thinking — questions that need you to judge or evaluate a statement or situation logically, rather than recall a fact.
emotional and social intelligenceEmotional and social intelligence — questions on understanding feelings, social situations and appropriate responses; go with the most mature, considerate option.
2 Tier 1 — General Awareness
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
current eventsCurrent events — news and developments from the last several months; keep a running note of important national and international happenings.
everyday observation and experience in their scientific aspectEveryday observation and experience in their scientific aspect — basic science behind things you see daily (why the sky is blue, how a fridge cools); understand the reason, don't just memorise the fact.
India and its neighbouring countries — History, Culture, Geography, Economic Scene, General Polity (Constitution), and Scientific ResearchIndia and its neighbouring countries across History, Culture, Geography, the Economic Scene, General Polity/Constitution, and Scientific Research — build one static-GK note per subject and revise it in small daily doses, not one big cram.
static GKStatic GK — fixed facts like important dates, books, awards, schemes and institutions that don't change with the news cycle; best learnt through short daily revision, not last-minute cramming.
3 Tier 1 — Quantitative Aptitude (Arithmetical Ability)
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
number systemsNumber systems — properties of integers, primes, factors and multiples; strong basics here make almost every other maths topic faster.
computation of whole numbers, decimals, fractions and relationships between numbersComputation of whole numbers, decimals and fractions and how numbers relate to each other — build calculation speed and accuracy with daily short practice, not just long question sets.
percentagePercentage — converting between fraction, ratio and percentage form; practice mental shortcuts for common percentages like 10%, 12.5%, 25%.
ratio & proportionRatio and proportion — comparing quantities and scaling them up or down proportionally; write the ratio first, then solve, instead of jumping straight to numbers.
square rootsSquare roots — finding the square root of a number quickly, by long division or estimation; memorising squares up to 30 speeds this up a lot.
averagesAverages — the typical value of a group of numbers; watch for questions where one value changes and the average must be recalculated.
simple & compound interestSimple and compound interest — how money grows on a principal over time; know the difference between the two formulas cold, that's where most marks are lost.
profit & lossProfit and loss — buying and selling price problems; learn to work directly with percentages instead of assuming a cost price of 100 every time.
discountDiscount — the reduction applied on a marked price before selling; practice successive-discount questions carefully, they don't simply add up.
partnership businessPartnership business — dividing profit or loss among partners based on their capital and time invested; set up the capital-into-time ratio first.
mixture & alligationMixture and alligation — finding the ratio in which two things of different value should be mixed to get a required average; the alligation cross-method saves real time here.
time & distanceTime and distance — speed, time and distance relationships including trains and boats/streams; convert units (km/h to m/s) correctly before calculating.
time & workTime and work — how long a job takes when people or machines work alone or together; think in terms of work done per day, not total time directly.
basic algebraic identities and linear equations (one/two variables)Basic algebraic identities and linear equations in one or two variables — standard identities like (a+b)² save calculation time; practice solving two-variable equations by substitution and elimination both.
geometry (triangles and their properties, congruence & similarity, circles, tangents, angles)Geometry — properties of triangles, congruence and similarity, circles, tangents and angles; draw a rough figure for every question before applying a theorem.
mensuration (triangle, quadrilaterals, regular polygons, circle, prism, cylinder, cone, sphere, hemisphere, rectangular parallelepiped)Mensuration — area, perimeter, volume and surface area of triangles, quadrilaterals, regular polygons, circles, and solids like prism, cylinder, cone, sphere and cuboid; keep one master sheet of all formulas and revise it weekly.
trigonometry (ratios, complementary angles, heights & distances)Trigonometry — trigonometric ratios, complementary angles and heights-and-distances problems; memorise the standard-angle value table (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°) first.
statistical charts (histogram, bar-diagram, pie-chart, frequency polygon)Statistical charts — reading and interpreting data shown as a histogram, bar diagram, pie chart or frequency polygon; practice picking out exact values from a chart quickly and accurately.
4 Tier 1 — English Language (Basic Knowledge)
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
spot the errorSpot the error — find the grammatically wrong part of a sentence; read the whole sentence once for sense before hunting part by part.
fill in the blanksFill in the blanks — pick the word that fits the sentence grammatically and in meaning; read the full sentence first, the answer often depends on words after the blank too.
synonyms/antonymsSynonyms and antonyms — words with similar or opposite meaning; build a small daily word list instead of trying to learn hundreds at once.
spellings/detecting misspelt wordsSpellings and detecting misspelt words — spot which word among the options is spelt wrong; commonly confused spellings (like 'necessary', 'occurrence') deserve extra attention.
idioms & phrasesIdioms and phrases — fixed expressions whose meaning isn't literal; learn them in small groups with example sentences, not as a standalone list.
one-word substitutionOne-word substitution — a single word that replaces a whole phrase's meaning; group them by theme (person, place, action) to remember them better.
improvement of sentencesImprovement of sentences — choose the best way to rewrite the underlined part of a sentence; check that the improved version doesn't change the original meaning.
active/passive voiceActive and passive voice — converting a sentence between doer-first and action-first structure; learn the tense-wise verb-form change, that's the whole rule.
conversion into direct/indirect narrationConversion into direct and indirect narration — changing quoted speech into reported speech and back; the pronoun, tense and time-word changes follow a fixed pattern worth memorising as a table.
shuffling of sentence partsShuffling of sentence parts — rearrange jumbled segments of one sentence into correct order; look for the segment that must come first (usually the subject).
shuffling of sentences in a passageShuffling of sentences in a passage (para jumbles) — arrange scattered sentences into a logical paragraph; find the opening sentence first, then follow the linking words.
cloze passageCloze passage — a paragraph with several blanks to fill using context and grammar together; read the whole passage once before attempting any blank.
comprehension passageComprehension passage — questions based on a given passage that test reading and understanding; answer strictly from what the passage says, not outside knowledge.
5 Tier 2 — Section I, Module-I Mathematical Abilities
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
same arithmetic, algebra, geometry, mensuration, trigonometry and data-interpretation topics as Tier 1 Quantitative Aptitude, at a slightly higher difficultyThis module repeats the same arithmetic, algebra, geometry, mensuration, trigonometry and data-interpretation topics from Tier 1 Quantitative Aptitude, just at a slightly higher difficulty — so once Tier 1 maths is solid, this is more about pace and tougher problems than new content.
6 Tier 2 — Section I, Module-II Reasoning & General Intelligence
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
analogiesAnalogies — find the same relationship as the given pair, now at a slightly tougher level than Tier 1; name the relationship in words before scanning options.
classificationClassification — pick the item that doesn't belong with the rest of the group; check every option against the common property, not just the first one that looks odd.
seriesSeries — find the missing or next term in a number, letter or figure sequence; check the difference or ratio between consecutive terms first.
coding-decodingCoding-decoding — the same letter/number substitution logic as Tier 1, applied to slightly longer or trickier codes; write out the alphabet position numbers if it helps.
matrixMatrix — letters or numbers placed in a grid, coded by their row and column position; find the coding rule from the given example first.
word buildingWord building — form a new valid word from the letters of a given word; a wide vocabulary makes this section much faster.
arithmetic reasoningArithmetic reasoning — logic-based questions built around numbers rather than pure calculation; identify what is actually being asked before doing any maths.
venn diagramsVenn diagrams — draw overlapping circles to represent the given groups and read the relationship or count directly from the diagram.
direction senseDirection sense — track someone's movement in different directions to find the final position or distance; sketch a simple compass diagram as you read the question.
blood relationsBlood relations — work out family relationships from the clues given; a quick family-tree sketch avoids confusion far better than mental tracking.
syllogismSyllogism — draw a conclusion from given statements; solve with a Venn diagram, not in your head.
seating arrangementSeating arrangement — place people around a row or circle based on given clues; draw the seats first and fill them in as each clue is used.
paper folding/cuttingPaper folding/cutting — a folded paper is cut and then unfolded; mentally reverse each fold, one at a time, to picture the final pattern.
mirror imagesMirror images — how a figure or letter looks when reflected in a vertical mirror; remember that left and right flip, but up and down don't.
7 Tier 2 — Section II, Module-I English Language & Comprehension
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
vocabularyVocabulary — the range of words you know and can use correctly; grow it daily through reading, not one-time list memorising.
grammar and sentence structureGrammar and sentence structure — the rules that make a sentence correct, from tense to word order; go topic by topic instead of trying to fix every rule at once.
synonyms/antonymsSynonyms and antonyms — words with similar or opposite meaning; keep a running personal list from whatever you read.
error spottingError spotting — find the grammatically wrong segment in a sentence; read for overall sense first, then check each part.
sentence improvementSentence improvement — pick the best rewrite of the underlined portion without changing the original meaning; eliminate options that change the meaning first.
fill in the blanksFill in the blanks — choose the word that fits both grammar and meaning; read past the blank before deciding, the rest of the sentence often gives the clue.
cloze testCloze test — a passage with multiple blanks to be filled using overall context; read the entire passage once before filling any blank.
comprehensionComprehension — questions based on a passage that test reading and understanding; answer only from what's written, not from outside knowledge.
idioms & phrasesIdioms and phrases — fixed expressions with a non-literal meaning; learn a handful each week with an example sentence for each.
one-word substitutionOne-word substitution — a single word that captures a whole phrase's meaning; group them by theme to remember better.
active/passive voiceActive and passive voice — converting a sentence between doer-first and action-first form; the tense-wise verb change is the whole rule to master.
direct/indirect speechDirect and indirect speech — converting quoted speech into reported speech and back; memorise the pronoun, tense and time-word changes as a table.
para jumblesPara jumbles — arrange scattered sentences into a logical paragraph; find the opening sentence first, then follow the linking words to order the rest.
8 Tier 2 — Section II, Module-II General Awareness
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
current affairsCurrent affairs — recent news and developments; keep a short running note rather than trying to recall everything from memory at the end.
historyHistory — ancient, medieval and modern Indian history along with the freedom movement; timeline charts help more than reading dense paragraphs.
geographyGeography — physical and Indian geography, including rivers, mountains, states and their features; a labelled map is a better revision tool than plain text.
polityPolity — the Constitution, government structure, and how India's institutions work; understand the logic of each institution, don't just memorise article numbers.
economicsEconomics — basic economic concepts and how India's economy functions; connect terms to real current-affairs examples so they stick better.
general scienceGeneral science — basic physics, chemistry and biology facts asked at a school level; understand the concept behind each fact instead of rote learning.
static GK (India and world)Static GK (India and world) — fixed facts about India and the world — capitals, currencies, awards, important firsts — that don't change with the news; revise a small set daily.
9 Tier 2 — Section III, Module-I Computer Knowledge Module (qualifying)
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
organisation of a computerOrganisation of a computer — the basic parts of a computer and how they work together; a simple labelled diagram is enough to remember this.
CPUCPU — the part of a computer that processes instructions, often called its 'brain'; know its main components and what each one does.
input/output devicesInput/output devices — hardware used to feed data into a computer or get results out of it, like a keyboard, mouse, printer or monitor; group each device as either input or output while revising.
memoryMemory — where a computer stores data and instructions, both temporarily (RAM) and permanently (storage); know the difference between the two clearly.
internet & networking basicsInternet and networking basics — how computers connect and communicate, including basic terms like IP address, browser and website; learn each term with one real-life example.
MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)MS Office — the everyday office tools Word (documents), Excel (spreadsheets) and PowerPoint (presentations); if you have access to a computer, practising a few real tasks in each beats reading about them.
web browsing and emailWeb browsing and email — basic terms and etiquette around using a web browser and sending/receiving email; know common terms like URL, inbox, attachment and spam.
basics of cyber securityBasics of cyber security — simple concepts like passwords, viruses and safe online practices; know the common threats and one safe habit that prevents each.
10 Tier 2 — Section III, Module-II Skill Test / Typing Test (qualifying)
What the syllabus listsWhat it means and how to prepare
Typing Test — English 35 wpm / Hindi 30 wpm — for LDC/JSATyping Test for LDC/JSA — English at 35 words per minute or Hindi at 30 words per minute; daily short typing drills build both speed and accuracy far better than occasional long sessions.
Data Entry Speed Test (DEST) of 8000 key depressions per hour for DEOData Entry Speed Test (DEST) for DEO — 8,000 key depressions per hour; practise on the number pad specifically, since data-entry speed depends on it more than the main keyboard.

  17. Pointing to a man in a photograph, Priya said, 'His mother is the only daughter of my mother.' How is the man related to Priya?

    • A Brother
    • B Nephew
    • C Son
    • D Cousin
    Show answer

    C — Son

    The only daughter of Priya's mother is Priya herself. So the man's mother is Priya, which makes the man Priya's son.

  18. Statements: All cups are plates. All plates are spoons. Conclusions: I. All cups are spoons. II. Some spoons are cups. Which conclusion(s) logically follow?

    • A Only conclusion I follows
    • B Only conclusion II follows
    • C Neither I nor II follows
    • D Both I and II follow
    Show answer

    D — Both I and II follow

    Since all cups are plates and all plates are spoons, all cups must be spoons (Conclusion I). Since all cups are spoons, at least some spoons must be cups (Conclusion II). Both follow.

    syllogism
  19. Choose the word most similar in meaning to 'ABUNDANT'.

    • A Plentiful
    • B Scarce
    • C Rare
    • D Empty
    Show answer

    A — Plentiful

    'Abundant' means existing in large quantities, which matches 'Plentiful'. 'Scarce' and 'Rare' are near-opposites in meaning.

    synonyms/antonyms
  20. Read the sentence and identify which underlined part has an error: 'Neither of the two boys (A) / have completed (B) / their homework (C) / on time. (D)'

    • A Part A
    • B Part B
    • C Part C
    • D Part D
    Show answer

    B — Part B

    'Neither' is singular, so it takes a singular verb — it should be 'has completed', not 'have completed'. The error is in Part B.

    spot the error
