How Does the CCE Exam Lead to a Government Job?
This is the most important part for a CCE aspirant: clearing the preliminary exam does not by itself mean that a candidate gets a job. The official detailed notification describes the preliminary exam as a screening test and says its marks are not counted in the final selection list.
Common MCQ screening test for Group A and Group B: 150 marks, 120 minutes, with 0.25 negative marking per wrong answer.
Separate Group A and Group B merit lists are prepared. Candidates up to seven times the category-wise vacancies are shortlisted for mains.
Group A follows a descriptive main-exam structure, while Group B uses an MCQ-type main exam under the notified rules.
Separate final selection lists are prepared using the main-exam performance, qualifying standard and category-wise vacancies.
What Happens After You Clear the Prelims?
- Your preliminary performance is used for screening and Group A / Group B mains shortlisting.
- Separate merit lists are prepared for Group A and Group B.
- Category-wise vacancies are considered while calling candidates for the mains.
- You then appear for the applicable Group A or Group B main examination.
- The final selection list is prepared using the main-exam marks, qualifying standard and category-wise vacancies.
- Document/certificate verification and other recruitment formalities must also be satisfied as applicable.
