Frequently asked
- What does placd cover for SSC CGL?
- Aptitude — as practice banks with explanations and an AI tutor.
- Are SSC CGL practice papers the real previous-year papers?
- No. They are original numbered sets built from placd's questions: quant and reasoning only (the exam's other sections, such as general awareness or English, are not included), marked the way the exam marks, with the clock shortened to match the number of questions. Every question has a worked solution. They are not tied to a year, and no past-paper text is reproduced.
- Where can I find SSC CGL previous-year question papers?
- The SSC CGL year archive is being verified against the conducting body's site.
- Where do I apply for SSC CGL?
- Only on the conducting body's official site — placd links to it in the schedule section above and never hosts an application form. The dates and eligibility shown are read from that site and carry the date they were verified.
- How is a SSC CGL practice set scored?
- As the exam scores it: negative marking of one-quarter of the marks for a wrong objective answer.
