What they ask
The patwari paper is the common Group 2 Sub Group 4 test: one 200-mark paper in 3 hours, split evenly between a language, maths and science part and a GK, computer, reasoning and management part. Only candidates who score at least 40 per cent of the total make the pass list for this drive. District allotment then follows merit and the order of districts you gave in the form, and it cannot be changed later.
How to prepare
- Clear CPCT early. It is part of the qualification, and without it you have to pass within probation or lose the job.
- Choose your district list carefully, because the order in the form is final and districts you leave out are treated as not wanted.
- Do not leave computer knowledge and general management for the end. They sit in Part B with GK and reasoning, and that part carries 100 of the 200 marks.
- Practise Group 2 Sub Group 4 style questions daily with topic-wise quizzes on the free Improvam app.
