SSC CGL Tier-1: 100 questions · 200 marks · 60 minutes · +2 correct, −0.5 wrong. Tier-2 (the merit-deciding stage) goes deeper on Quant and English, plus Reasoning, GA, Computer Knowledge and a Data Entry Speed Test.
100 questions, sectional timer, +2 / −0.5 marking — identical to the actual computer-based test, so there are no surprises on exam day.
After every test, AI pinpoints exactly which topics are dragging your score down and how much each is costing you.
Get a concrete day-by-day study plan built from your own mistakes — not a generic checklist.
See your estimated All-India Rank and how your score compares with the published SSC CGL Tier-1 cut-offs from 2020-24 — the series the rank model is calibrated to — updated every attempt.
Take the full mock in Hindi or English — switch anytime, because the real exam is bilingual.
No card, no trial trap. Three full mock tests a week are free, and 15-minute section papers are unlimited. Upgrade if you want unlimited full mocks with the AI analysis on every one.
Start by understanding the Tier-1 pattern (100 questions, four sections), then take a diagnostic mock to find your weak areas. On SSCIntel, your first free AI mock instantly shows which topics are costing you marks so you focus your study where it matters, instead of guessing.
Most serious aspirants do 5–7 focused hours daily for 4–6 months. Quality beats quantity: 2 hours of targeted weak-topic practice plus one timed section is worth more than 8 hours of passive reading. SSCIntel builds a day-by-day plan around your available hours.
Yes — thousands do. With the right syllabus, disciplined mock practice, and honest weak-topic analysis, self-study works. An AI tutor replaces the two things coaching gives you: doubt-solving (ask any question, any time) and a personalized study plan.
Quant & Reasoning are scoring and speed-based — drill shortcuts and PYQ patterns daily. English is rule-based — fix grammar and vocabulary systematically. General Awareness is high-return but memory-heavy — do daily current affairs plus static GK. Attempt accuracy-first: −0.5 negative marking punishes guessing.
They're the single most important habit. Regular full-length mocks build exam temperament, time management, and question-selection instinct — and the post-test analysis tells you exactly what to fix next. Take free AI mocks on SSCIntel and review every mistake.
Tier-1 covers General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude and English Comprehension (25 questions each). Tier-2 expands Quant and English and adds Reasoning, GA, Computer Knowledge and a Data Entry Speed Test. See our full syllabus guide for every topic.
UR Tier-1 cut-offs have trended from ~137 (2020) to ~170 (2024), so aim comfortably above the recent line. SSCIntel predicts your rank versus recent cut-offs after every mock so you always know where you stand.
