How the CBT Exam Will Be Conducted
The CBT will be taken online, allowing candidates to participate from any location with strong internet connectivity. However, note that only laptops or desktop computers with functional webcams are supported — mobile phones are not allowed.
Before you begin the test, your identity will be confirmed through facial verification. Any background noise, excessive movement, or attempt to switch browser windows during the exam may lead to automatic disqualification.
Pre-Test and Main Examination
Applicants will receive two different links:
- Pre-Test Link – This serves as a practice trial to help candidates get familiar with the system. It usually takes place two days before the real exam.
- Main CBT Link – This is the actual examination link that will be shared after the pre-test.
Candidates applying for the Superintendent Cadre may have an additional CBT session. Only those who perform well will move to the next stage, which includes the final physical screening.
