Latest details for this resource.

To crack the BSSC Inter Level Exam, you don’t just need to study hard—you need to study the right topics. The exam pattern is designed to test your speed and accuracy, especially in Reasoning and Science.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. You get a composite time of 2 Hours 15 Minutes for the entire paper (150 Questions). You can switch between sections (GK, Math, Reasoning) freely.
No. The Paper-1 (General Hindi) in Mains is Qualifying only. You just need to score 30% marks (30 correct answers out of 100). If you fail this, your Paper-2 (GK/Math/Reasoning) will NOT be evaluated.
Correct Answer: +4 Marks. Wrong Answer: -1 Mark. Strategy: Attempting a question blindly is risky. If you are 50-50 sure, take a calculated risk; otherwise, skip it.
Historically, BSSC conducts this exam in Offline (OMR Based) mode due to the massive number of candidates. However, the commission reserves the right to switch to CBT if needed. Be prepared for OMR shading.
