Questions about exam categories
Which government exam categories are on Sarkari Parcha?
Eight: SSC, Railways, Banking, UPSC, State PSC, Defence, Police and Teaching. Each category is run by a different recruiting body, with its own notice, pattern and calendar.
What is the difference between SSC and UPSC?
SSC recruits for Group B and C posts in central ministries and forces. UPSC conducts the Civil Services and other Group A exams. Both are central, but the posts and the papers are different.
What is a State PSC?
Each state has a Public Service Commission that recruits for that state’s own services, such as SDM and DSP. Age relaxation is mainly for that state’s residents. SSC posts, by contrast, are all-India.
How do I pick a category?
Start with who you want to work for: a central ministry (SSC), Indian Railways, a public sector bank, the civil services (UPSC or your State PSC), the armed forces, the police, or a school. Open that hub — the exams sit there, not on this page.
Where do I apply?
Only on the commission’s own site, linked from each category. Sarkari Parcha has mock tests and previous year papers. We do not take applications.
Are the mock tests and previous year papers free?
Yes. Previous year papers and mock tests for these categories are free on Sarkari Parcha, with instant results and a solution for every question.
