Introduction
- SSC CGL 2013 was to be held on 14th and 21st April.
- But 14th April exam was cancelled. Now that exam will be held on 19th May 2013. (Hence it is no longer conflicting with SBI PO exam date.) This is not a rumor. This is given on SSC’s Northern Region website click me
- This article contains analysis based on two papers of SSC CGL 2013, held on 21st April (KP series and PJ series) click me to download those papersets.
- Download links for today’s question papers are given in the appendix of this article.

- SSC has continue the trend of last year (=less importance to conventional questions from profit-loss, time-speed, mensuration etc.) and more emphasis on geometry (theory), Trigonometry and algebra
- Roughly 2/3rd of the Maths questions are from Geometry, trigonometry, algebra and Data interpretation (DI) only.
- Although SSC chief remained kept his twitter promise: trigonometry and geometry portion bit easier than last time’s and most of the trigonometry questions could be solved effortlessly by the [Trigonometry] tricks explained on www.Mrunal.org/aptitude
- Usually DI portion contained only one “case” and 5 questions. This time SSC has given multiple DI cases.

- Compared to earlier years, SSC increased the number of non-verbal questions.
- Sitting arrangement (case containing 3-5 question) =absent.
- Otherwise question pattern/difficulty level similar to previous years.
General Awareness / GA-GK
- As usual, GA section was broadly made up of three parts: Static, Science and Crap.
- The message / lesson is clear: when it comes to the GA portion of SSC, don’t waste time chasing trivial current affairs. Because static (polity, history etc.) and science, is where your focus should be.

i m a gen. candidate and scored 107 in tier 1, how much should i target in tier 2, so that i will be considered for any interview post.
@AS in tier 2 exam, questions will be in different in diff sets or same in diff sets, only arrangement order diff as in civil prelims ??
@pkb Not fully sure, but by checking two different sets for 2012 Quant, I found that questions are not exactly the same
@Neena 70 with 90%+ accuracy in quant in 2 hours is fine! 350? Possible, but only 1-2 candidates can achieve these feat.
hello friends..i have just been told that the quant paper in the mains will be of 100 marks in place of 200 this year..is there any truth in this???
No! But even if it is, does it make any difference? In the end your comparative performance counts, nothing else.
Hi AS In my hallticket they mention that there will 0.25 negative marking in paper one.that means there will no negative marks in paper two.plz explain.
@Milind
Negative marking
0.5 for Quant
0.25 for English
SSC NR Admit cards available now!
@Neena
hehehe.. So sweet of you :) .. you are really a gentleman :P :)
Anyways,, tell me some cool bubbling strategies.. I really am having trouble there… Last time I kept 30 minutes for purely bubbling part. Sill managed to mess up 10 replies… In CSE too I marked the mountains question(URAL etc.) wrong because of same error…
And if I keep too much time for bubbling then I loose time, precious time, from solving question; taxing heavily myself…… I dont think given the level – I can manage more than 70-75 questions in 90 minutes depending on how my mindset is – on that fateful day…
Wish you success :)
Regards,
N
@Neena
Can’t say if OMR filling needs any pre planning or strategy. I keep on marking answers as soon as I solve a question. Others suggest marking in batches of a fixed number of questions, say 5 questions, or 1 page. Choose any strategy which suits you the best during trial period!
Have you tried taking a print of the Admit card ? It is not getting printed as it should be . The centre details are getting hidden somewhere in the print. I tried both portrait and landscape format of the sheet. This is for NR region only .
Go to margins and instead of default, select none or zero…it comes out perfectly fine.
Whars the hurry?? Hold your horses!! They will post it to you, last time too it reached 2 days prior to exam..
@Sandeep- I tried by setting all margins to 0 ( left , right , top , bottom ), but No benefit , still the same issue ? Which browser you are using ? I tried with I.E vers 7.0.
@Neena – SSC is not responsible of any postal delay or non-delivery of admit cards through posts , this is the main reason for uploading admit cards on their sites , so Why to take a risk of waiting till last 2 days and then making all the rush with horses :)
hehehehe.. Smart reply :) … cool.. gave me a smile :P .. thnxx
Since they have uploaded a scan – that means they are in the process of dispatching it.. Have some faith in IPS. They are not that sub-standard.. it will reach you.. But yes “prevention is better than cure” better safe than sorry :D….
did you try converting it to jpg? that way nothing can mess it up :P … you can use “prtsc” function too..
Thanks for the options (or for running your horses :) ). I tried saving it as JPG …gosh ..it is not able to save the entire admit card as image..only part of it…forget about the print :(
You are using good short forms, but I think all other people who spent reading this post should learn something new as a return for investing their time in reading this :).. so just expanding them…
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) also know as JPG
IPS – Indian Postal Service
Prtsc – Print screen
I usually resort to print screen only as last option..if there is no alternative left , therefor after running my horses I got the solution – use Mozilla firefox instead of I.E ( Internet Explorer )..and I got what I wanted !!..(may be the higher version of I.E supports a correct print but not the I.E version 7)
Good Lord!! u WEREN’T using pdf all this time :D :O …. This is plain stupid!! (No offence intended).. hehheheheh…
As far as abbreviations are concerened — the functional key comes like that only..
The admit cards are not available in PDF ( portable document format ) they are in html ( hyper text mark up lanaguage) format only.
ppff… use print – save as PDF !! wasnt that implied in my reply??
Delhi people getting centres in Jaipur :o
hehehe.. maybe the male candidates.. Mines in Delhi :D (dancing) heheheh… I missed UP-PSC because it was in allahabad or lucknow.. later I really regretted that move — my friend who failed CS passed that one.. But anyways I didnt like UPPSC – there are scoundrels there.. I wud rather goto south than UP..
Girls always get an advantage, be it SSC or IBPS or whatever!!!!!
But even male candidates have got centres in Delhi!
And even bigger irony is that people known to me who are working in Jaipur have got centre in Delhi, while I got Jaipur :D
am i smelling jealousy?? hehehhe..
I dont know – I didnt ask for that “concessional Treatment”!!! I dont think they keep lower cut offs for us..
Tell me this – what if I spoil my paper? I mean ruin it even fail it!! Will it hurt my chances for other posts? I seriously do not want to prepare for this one too!!
@neena
Please convey your message carefully :P On first reading I thought you are not interested in CGL.
When I read it second time then I guessed that you are not interested in that statistics paper.
No problem, if you are not interested in SI post then skip this exam(Sep 28 only!!)
I am just interested in escaping these 4 walls :P … Go out and meet some interesting people – like yourself…. Maybe I’ll simply join a job from mid-December…
I have been heavily requesting my parents to allow me to work, but they dont listen :@ :@(angry face) …
A good news for me — have a CCD nearby( I wonder if they wud allow me the luxury of car, otherwise its a bit far -20-25 mins away :( ) — I’ll go and dump a couple of coffees b.w the paper– gets my grey cells charged up.. I might even try sugar rush for my Math paper – is it in the morning session or later? because this trick works only once and then you are drooling for the rest of the day :P :D….. Otherwise I will have to use some less devious means :P… But I will have to try something cause in CS paper I was sleepy during the 2nd paper… The GAP was totally wful 3 WHOLE hours…
On a different note — When you are in Jaipur – our lovely pink city — do take some time and visit the Hawa mahal and jal mahal… And there is also World’s biggest cannon there… If you can afford – then do take a guide — the stories are really humorous and interesting. heheheh
So much of planning for the exam day :o :p
Quant in the morning, English at 2!
I have lived in Jaipur for more than a year, so not a stranger there :D. This visit will be dedicated only to SSC :P
heheheheeh… I like to organize myself otherwise I am really horrific in keeping up things… You should look at my room – :D… its quite a “picturesque” scene…
I remember one day a senior came down to room and asked for a protractor(D from geometry box)… I told her – its right there on the bed… She was horrified – and said mocking me – where is your bed!! I was ohh, let me get off the system, then I digged deep into the “cave” and tada — out comes the protractor — should have seen the look on her face — like it was some “houdini” trick :P …. Everyone knew that my room had everything anyone could ever need but my room was like a trash pile… It was like I slept only for 3-4 hours so never needed any space particularly.. and never invested time in arranging stuff but still knew where was everything — I sometimes wonder if being in such a mess made me smarter – for I had to remember where was what, otherwise I could easily loose a day or two finding mundane stuff..
:D :D
Very talkative person :P I am sure you won’t be letting your friends get bored ever!!!!
:D :D OMG,, could have scratched your face for that comment (Typical Indian response) :P ppfff…
can you tell me how to get old editorials of Hindu? I need from Jan to March.. I have the print copies for the other months… Really need to read them for CSM…
Scratched :o
Not subscribed to The Hindu epaper, but when I last enquired from their customer support team, their reply was “We maintain only 30 days of all five editions in the e-paper archive at present”
So, only option is this
http://www.thehindu.com/archive/#archiveTodayContainer
Thnkss :)
I guess will have to scroll then….
So how are you preparing for CS??
CS? No, I haven’t attempted it even once!
Tell me this — is it wrong to say that about 10-15 questions in math are actually worth leaving??
@Neena
I don’t think it is possible to attempt all 100 questions in 120 minutes. 10-20 candidates might be there to prove me wrong, but for rest the aim is to try to solve 80-85 questions.
But in hall tickets they clearly mentioned that about 0.25 marks will be deducted for every wrong ans. In paper one.plz help
@Milind
There will be negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer in Tier-I. In Tier-II, there will be negative marking of 0.25 marks in Paper-II and 0.50 marks in Paper-I and Paper-III for each wrong answer.
Maybe some mistake made by Regional Office. Check notification.
Buddy where are you reading it from?? I cant find any such information on my admit card!! I am from NR…
NR thinks candidates are smart enough to read the notification thoroughly, so they don’t bother to publish this information in the e-admit card :D
in admit card point no. 13
Sorry not there on mine :( .. I am from NR, where are you from?
Sir Please post the Analysis and Strategy for the CGL tier-2 exam.
Admit card for tier 2 out for north region
Is it mandatory to attend SI paper on 28th…Will I be allowed to attend 29th paper if I skip SI one ???….Please reply
Your call, no problem even if you skip Sep 28 exam. Only Paper 1 and 2 are mandatory to qualify for next round.
Should I too drop the paper and save myself some exhaustion then?
Really not ineterested in either leaving delhi or any low grade post – not a labor but an officer candidate!
Not sure, but somewhere I read SIs, at times, have to be involved in door to door surveys as well :p You people have more than a week to get more details before taking a final decision!
Just a se — wudnt it affect my prospects in the interview?? Dang it… They might not like the irresponsible character unless I lie that I was ill or something!!
You will have at least 15-20 minutes to convince the interview panel that the decision to skip that exam was a good one :P
I am avid follower of Kiran Prakashan books but lately while solving mock tests (Mathematics in particular) i find them way easier than actual CGL 2012 papers. Last edition of Kiran books on Arithematic Ability was printed after 2011 exam and it has just pasted the 2012 paper with solution, hence mock tests have not been updated as per 2012 papers.
Did anyone face the same problem?
u r absolutely right…..same thing happened with me…these papers are really very easy..as compare to the real difficulty level of exam……..but what to do at the last moment of exam….now from where r u preparing????
I have Arun Sharma’s Quant book , just referring solved examples and LOD-I. Also I came across a website http://www.thinkinc.in/SSCPapers.html which has got better mock test papers.
Are you someone from that website? Its a bogus site!! Simply redirects to INDIABIZ.com .. goto hell…
I am very sorry for your trouble but i can’t understand why is that happening to u.
Did you simply click on the link provided above?
Just click the link and scroll down the page, it has got many mock tests (both Quant and English) and i myself am using it.
I am not someone from that site but am thankful to the creator.
The person who is maintaining this website has just compiled the mocks freely available on other websites. I also feel that you are associated with that like @neena said.
You might be correct about the mocks i.e. someone might have complied the mocks already freely available on other websites , but my point is that i am finding them better than the ones available in the book so am using them.
If you have got some better ideas please share, i find your comments very useful and informative.
It came out in the wrong tone. I just wanted to ask, not complaint about it.. I was talking about the study material — the formulae and all…
Not much time left to try new ideas. So carry on with what you had planned. Good luck!
Good luck to u too and thanks :)
LIkewise my friend :)
Have anyone tried taking a print of the Tier II Admit card ? It is not getting printed as it should be . The centre details are getting hidden somewhere in the print. I tried both portrait and landscape format of the sheet. This is for NR region only .
I am facing one problem i.e. i have passed SSC CGL T-I but in the Marks list, the marks that has shown is 47.25. How it can be??
Please guide me.
Are you sure?
what is yur roll nubmer??
Any information when will SSC decalre the result for Cabinet Secretariat Exam which was held on 16th June 2013 ?
Hi can someone tell me expected Cut-off for Auditor for UR Candidates for Delhi thanks in advance…
Yes i used FOR 3 times.
Very surprising that there is no reaction to the decision taken by CAT to stay the Tier 2 Exam for CGLE 2013! No one talking about that here :o
It seems 2014 CGL vl not happen as 2013 cgl itself vl happen in 2014. Ab kab tak pata chalega ki Jaipur jaana h ya nai Tier2 ke liye :p
A) Are you all talking for real?
B) When do I get my fee back? They are the ones responsible!!(btw was there any fee?, I dont remember clearly as such.. UPSC didnt take fee)
C) Who do I sue for compensation for waste of time and agony? What is the relevance of consumer forums – and if you are following introduction of class action suits in Company bill – is the same facility extendable to this board?
DANG it,, I have WASTED(rather been duped on my investment) a lot of time on this stupid paper!!
Regards and Wishes!
@Neena Not a rumour, but a news.
Fees? Girls are not required to pay any. Only those unlucky males who are born in families belonging to Unreserved category have to pay.
Some time ago there was a verdict that DU is not under the ambit of Consume Protection Act. I guess same applies to this government recruitment agencies. So no luck here either.
Time wasted? Maybe not. SSC approaching higher court to get the stay vacated. So just pray that this stay is stayed.
lets see what happens!! I now dont know whether to prepare or not!! How do they expect me to give my best!! The same thing happened in prelims .. no wait that was on time — april or maybe there was a moths gap from the notification date.. oh no no .. They just delayed the mains… it was supposed to be in july and I had wasted a week then… now it Deja-vu, all over again… Why the hell are they acting like some third class board..
Tell me about this whole cheating thing.. who got caught – what happened… I really dont have anyone in this field, I had one but then we had a fight as I didnt join any coaching with her. fortunately she did help me with the codes for job and all but then again lost touch…
@Neena that day you were supporting that person, now saying something else :D
http://nation.time.com/2013/09/23/watch-the-very-best-government-funded-obamacare-ads/
Max Friday raat tak :P
hey guys.. jst heard few peppl talking on fb tat dere is some stay oder on ssc tier 2 by CAT. is this authentic or jst another romour in the market? neways please bail me out its really terryfying.
Yaar jinho ne cheating ki h saalo ko hamesha ke liye saare Govt paper se nikalwa dena chahiye
why not any harsher punishment?? They fiddled with “career” of a lot of candidates here.. Just put a figure on the cumulative loss of manhours and loss of collective productivity!!
yeah.. they must face a lyftym ban, cause our bureaucracy is already facing a hard time because of curruption and if someone is sticking to corrupt policies jst to enter the service, well then whole of this process is defeated.
hey AS, i heard the same thing. Its true and if its true, will they hold on to the date or again the game of “postponing the exam” will start.
News. Fingers crossed.
Bloody hell!! Should I prepare or not?? (headbang) Really confused! Am already behind schedule and CS is on the corner………….. ppfffff…
Keep preparing.
Any formulae repository?? That would be a blessing… Also, any tips in Enlgish(sic) would be welcome..
Nothing! Sleepy :( zzzzzzzzzz
OMG,, am i smelling fear? oohh.. are you scared that I might score better than you :P …..
How much did you score in the tier 1??, Now I am really intrigued!!!!
Yes, very scared :P :D
@neena
You seem to be a very dumb wannabe girl trying hard to sound very intellectual or something. Please don’t try your hand at humour, it sounds very forced, coming from you.
Definitely True. but her vocabulary is good :)
is any post by ssc can we get red light car.. plz tell me facility of posts.. witch get by ssc cgl…
You want job or car with red beacon?
@rishikesh: http://i.qkme.me/3skbkd.jpg
seriously bro, do not put much importance to all these materialistic stuffs. To answer ur question, NO u dont get a car for urself let alone a car with beacon. also dont forget the latest directive from the Supreme Court which regulates the use of beacons and limits it’s use only for High Level Dignitaries like Judges, Ministers and such. even IAS/IPS are slowly phasing out the use of beacons from their official vehicles.
an ssc post get red light car.?

hello…AS pls.. tell for tax assistant there will be DEST… is it going to conduct in delhi ? and what will be the typing language? will it be in Hindi or English or both?and how to prepare for that??
Different venues for different regions.
Language: English
Preparation? Normal typing. 2000 characters from a printed page in 15 minutes on computer.
i am from north region…..and it means that typing test will be in only english so i should prepare for english typing….after exam what u think that what will be cut off for tax assistant i have attampted 72 questions in maths and 190 in english so what are my chance of getting selected…
Any idea of the schedule for interviews?
No idea! Maybe starting Nov end.
Really?? 80%!! I attempted 82 and 200 with average accuracy of 92-93%. But honestly when i came back and re-analysed the paper- i was really upset and disappointed in myself.. I could have attempted 92 questions with 100% accuracy. the questions I missed are really embarassing like the average % of passing students with answer 88.6, had I been only more attentive and patient, I could have done better.. I actually had 5-10 minutes extra on my hand ( …. neways, I believe I am going to give the paper next year to try my luck at scoring 100% :P ….
wasnt the paper too darn easy this year? I mean by all standards this wasnt expected….
Everyone gets the same feeling after exam:”It was possible to attempt 10 questions more” :P
Yes, paper was very easy. Completed English in 90 minutes, and felt they should have provided these 30 minutes for Maths, could have solved 12-13 questions more!
Just a sec,, how can that be — the Mains for CS are in Decemeber 1-5.. wont they take those into account while conducting interviews??
I guess NO.
hehe.. I am not saying that I didnt had 10 more minutes or so.. I didnt mean to lament lack of time.. OK actually I had a bad stomach ache.. I ate sugar and coffee as planned and then it was cool for the first 1 hour or so.. But then I started having these cramps(Hell I am not 13 anymore :( or it would have worked just fine hehehh ).. Also I solved these questions in a single breath — say 4 minutes when I was back at home.. But yeah,, it could have been the fatigue too…
NO!!! Are you sure?? How can they expect someone to abandon CS mains for the interview?? Aint that ludicrous? outrageous??
Nothing fixed as of now, but for SSC as well as UPSC, you are just a job seeker. They won’t consider any other factor while fixing the dates for next rounds.
But hey they do manipulate dates so as to accommodate each other, dont hold exams on same date…. OAN Do they tell marks before the interview rounds?
Neways, thnx for support… how was ur paper?
Nothing can be said. UPSC schedule is fixed, SSC can change anytime.
Marks will be uploaded before interview, so that’s the disadvantage at the interview stage. The panel’s opinion no longer stays unbiased.
Regarding paper: Aimed for 270, and will surely cross that mark. So satisfied :-)
Also, this guy sitting in front of me copied a lot of my answers! This dumbass or pathetic loser was constantly turnging back and looking at my answers and at one point even disturbed me -“hey are your one words, correct”.. Initially I couldnt understand why he would ask so for we had different sets but later I learnt that paper was same :( .. also by the end there was a rucks for the invigilator wasnt strict but lousy. One student was shouting for answers from another one sitting at diagonally opposite corner!! Should I report this to SSC? and if so how to I title my complaint? Because the loser in front of me didnt know the difference between humanities and homo-sapiens.. asshole was marking homo-sapiens as the answer until he cross checked from me and had the GUTS and balls to disturb me…
I feel so dumb for not registering a written protest against him then and there…
Should have complained at the centre itself, I don’t think you will be able to prove it now.
Actually I was in kind of a dilemma.. I had an argument with my parents in the morning… So while I was filling my OMR I had erred with my name bubbles.. The Invigilator pointed it out and corrected it. Last time I missed the mains because I allegedly erred in Paper code…. So I felt kind of grateful to the kind and vigilant fellow.. I felt that if I raise any voice the invigilator might be questioned for not being dutiful and sincere… I felt the poor guy was just being lenient on these fellows.. Also at that time I didnt mind much as I was busy with my own business and honestly the way he talked he seemed to be “retarded”, I never caught his name or would have picked upon his category but do strongly feel that he was OBC or ST from his actions. (not that I want to be racist but am only drawing inferences from generally accepted stereotype, again which I dont subscribe per se — ppfff.. this is a bit embarrassing)
This is why I didnt raise a voice then… But honestly I now feel I cheated a load of serious and genuine candidates who were honestly trying to go about their business and compete with others…
Then again I really feel disgusted the way he remarked at girls calling us “item” and “maal” … I was like sorry what did you say to which he replied — these are like code-words for *** women…. I bet an ill-educated and under-educated, uncultured and sick jerk would have ever herd of the word euphemism(for codewords are supposed to have limited cognizance and comprehensibility)….. I was really taken aback..Felt like throwing up and so simply made an exit rather than indulge him…..
Good lord if he ever crosses path with me then my dog will love to put some cryptographs on his body…
Anyways, glad to hear you had a good exam… But honestly, aint 270 a bit modest target? Will you be able to get Delhi with that?
Lucky! I had to remind invigilator in my room to sign on the answer-sheet, she had forgotten to do that(all candidates).
You could have checked his name in the attendance sheet!
Considering the description of that candidate, I don’t think he would qualify for any interview post :D
270 more than enough to get my first choice if the number of posts is comparable to those filled in CGL 2012.
Well thank you so much,, I just wanted to talk to someone about it :) .. Feel better now… I do have his ticket number on the very least, I am contemplating whether I should complaint or not… Dont want to put myself in trouble… But honestly if it does then so be it.. I dont care that much as such…
And since I felt wonderfully about the invigilator – I remember his name. At that time, I felt I would gift him a mobile or some flowers once the process was over. I still do plan to :) …. But I wish he would have been a bit more strict for I did pass him a look that this fellow is disturbing me…
Well I wish you best :) .. But are you sure given that the paper was easier, did you account possible rise in marks?… Also arent you keen on the city of posting?
Well I’d only be interested if they let me be in Delhi which seems a distant dream as of now.. I think minimum 520 would be required for it now :(.. Last yr it was 487…
You won’t have any evidence to prove what you experienced! So I don’t think anything can be done now.
Invigilators need to be strict. But it wasn’t the case in my room either.
I haven’t filled a post with such a high cut off as my first preference. State preference#1 is Delhi though.
well thats cool :) … Yeah I now regret filling choices randomly… Lets try and impress them in the interview :p .. how much do they give!! And honestly I have some really good achievements like projects with UN arns, international competitions and degree from Premier institutes.. I worry that they might think I am in for the graft :( .. honestly, I simply filled the form because my friend asked me to but she herself didnt give it later…
My target is CS not a jnr level Public servant post….
ok… how long have you been preparing for these exams? Its been barely one year and I seem to be losing my sanity.. I asked around – I probably need a “constant”.. What’s your constant? how do you choose one?
Fair chances of getting TA post if your accuracy is 80% or above.
AS according to one of the answer keys available…..i am getting 140 in English and 120 in maths and got 95.5 in pre….so what are my chances for TA…..
Very fair chances. Prepare well for DEST.
@AS bhai tier 1 + 2 = 380 ….. OBC cat …. bhai interview k chances hai n if yes CSS k chances hai???
I colored the name bubble wrongly . all other were correct. was feeling so lazy to search for a whitener to correct. i’m not thinking at all about this as the important things- roll no, paper code was correct. did anyone meet the same experience?
Well sorry to be the bearer of bad news but i think you would be outrightly disqualified like 54K candidates in prelims.. There is a code for this error “name” if you check the notification. Also there was a disclaimer on the bottom that mentioned that any discrepancy from Admit card would result in “zero” marks…
Try writing to the co-ordinator and work it out..
Thanks.. I’ll contact them.
If you had bubbled 1 or 2 letters wrongly, I think, there is no need to worry. I am saying this with experience.
I think so.. thanks
