The exam dates will be announced soon, but without waiting for the same, aspirants should start preparing for the test. To get started, we are going to share the exam pattern and preparation guide here. First of all, candidates must catch hold of the CGPSC State Engineering Services syllabus, which is available. Now note that the exam is based on two papers. Paper-I is based on General Studies, whereas Paper-II is related to Engineering (Civil, Mechanical & Electrical). Paper-I and Paper-II have 150 questions of 300 marks each and candidates get 2 hours and 30 minutes for each paper. Candidates appearing in the exam of General Studies, which is paper-I will have an option to choose between English and Hindi, on the other hand, paper-II is conducted only in the English language. There is no provision of negative marking. General Studies is divided into three sections: general knowledge of India and Chhattisgarh and Aptitude. If we go by the pattern of previous years then in 2015, 50-50 question each were asked from India and Chhattisgarh GK and 50 questions were of aptitude. Video | UPSC Civil Services Exam: When and how to start preparing? In 2016, the number of questions asked from Chhattisgarh's GK were 75, 50 questions from India GK and 25 of aptitude. The pattern was changed a bit in 2017, however, for aptitude it remained the same, which was 25 questions, 50 questions were asked from Chhattisgarh GK and 75 from India GK. These numbers indicate that the pattern of paper-I is random and it is difficult to say how many questions will be asked from which section. Hence, students should focus on preparing each section well. The commission will announce the exam date either with or just before releasing the CGPSC AE admit card 2020. We are suggesting some books that students can refer to prepare for Paper-I. Ghatna Chakra, candidates can get this book in Hindi as well as English to prepare for India GK. For Chattisgarh GK, candidates can refer to the book of Hari Ram Patel, as well as question bank of Tuteja.
