Frequently asked questions
What is the SSC GD Constable syllabus?
It runs to 4 sections: General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge and General Awareness, Elementary Mathematics and English/Hindi. 36 named topics are listed on this page beneath them, each taken from the official syllabus rather than inferred from past papers.
How many questions are there in the SSC GD Constable paper, and how long is it?
The paper is 80 questions for 160 marks in 60 minutes. Wrong answers are penalised 0.25 per question. Knowing that alongside the syllabus is what turns a topic list into a plan: it tells you how many marks each section is actually worth and how many minutes you can afford per question.
How do I practise the whole SSC GD Constable syllabus?
Sit a full mock first, before working through the topic list. A syllabus tells you what can be asked; it does not tell you which parts of it are costing you marks, and most candidates find that is not where they expected. There are 12 free tests for SSC GD Constable here, and the sectional ones let you rebuild a single section once the full paper has shown you which one to rebuild.
Is this SSC GD Constable syllabus current?
It is taken from the official SSC GD Constable 2026 notice, cited and linked at the foot of this page, rather than from another preparation site, so you can check it against the source yourself. Syllabuses do change between cycles, usually through a corrigendum to the notification rather than a fresh document, so confirm against the current notice before planning a whole revision cycle around any topic list, including this one.
