Section-wise test blueprint (separately timed)

Scoring, qualifying rules and next stage

The Professional/Subject Knowledge section (where applicable) and the descriptive English paper have minimum qualifying thresholds: UR 40% and OBC/EWS/SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen 35%. These are qualifying thresholds, not final selection cutoffs. Separate sectional and aggregate cutoff scores may be applied by CWC. Only objective-test answers attract a penalty of one-quarter of the question marks for an incorrect response; blank responses attract no penalty. For codes 01–06, shortlisted candidates undergo document verification and interview (maximum shortlist ratio 1:5); interview has 30 marks and the final online-test/interview weighting is 85:15. Interview minimums: UR/EWS 50%, OBC 45%, SC/ST/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen 40%. All section times are separate; the total paper lasts 180 minutes. Official examination date has not been announced.

Scope of published syllabus

The official advertisement gives the section titles and their weightage for this code but does not publish a finer-grained chapter-by-chapter syllabus for this post. Preparation topics beyond those sections would be guidance, not notified official syllabus.
