CGPSC State Service Mock Test 2026

A free CGPSC State Service practice series for Preliminary Paper II, the Aptitude Test. The paper is 100 questions across two hours, carrying 200 marks. Every CGPSC online test here is free to attempt and returns a section-wise result the moment you submit.

This paper is qualifying only, which is the single most useful thing to know about it: you need to clear the threshold and nothing above that carries into your rank. Preparation time is finite, and hours spent pushing an aptitude score past the line are hours taken from the paper that actually ranks you. Each question is worth 2 marks with one third of that, about 0.67, deducted for a wrong answer, so break-even sits at exactly one in four and a blind guess is neutral. Two hours for 100 questions gives you 72 seconds each.

CGPSC State Service exam pattern

Preliminary Paper II Aptitude Test

Official 2025 pattern
Questions: 100
Marks: 200
Duration: 120 minutes

Aptitude Test. Negative marking: 0.67 (one third of 2 marks) per wrong answer. Single unrestricted 120-minute timer for the whole paper: no sectional lock.

Paper II of the CGPSC State Service preliminary examination is the aptitude paper: 100 objective questions for 200 marks in two hours, four options each, 2 marks for a correct answer and one third of that, about 0.67 marks, deducted for a wrong one. It is qualifying only. A candidate needs 33 per cent to qualify, or 23 per cent in the reserved categories, and the marks are not added to the preliminary merit used to shortlist for the Main Examination. Seven domains are examined: interpersonal skills including communication, logical reasoning and analytical ability, decision making and problem solving, general mental ability, Class X basic numeracy and data interpretation, Class X Hindi, and Chhattisgarhi. The commission publishes no per-domain question quota, so none is claimed here. The language rules of the real paper are reproduced rather than smoothed over: the general questions are set in both Hindi and English, the Hindi-language questions in Hindi only, and the Chhattisgarhi-language questions in Chhattisgarhi only, none of them translated. Preliminary Paper I on General Studies is not built here, and neither are the Mains papers.
