Eligibility for the SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) Examination is set by the conducting body, not by Koshish, and it changes between notifications — check the official notification for the criteria that apply to your attempt. This page covers what happens on Koshish once you are eligible to apply.
The Tier-I & Tier-II stage is what Koshish prepares for. "Verified" here means a question has passed our review pipeline and can be served in the app right now; anything shown as verified is counted from that servable set.
Speed arithmetic and algebraic drills calibrated to Tier-I and Tier-II patterns
English comprehension, active/passive voice, and error spotting modules
Negative marking penalty simulation (-0.50 for Tier-I, -1.00 for Tier-II)
Topic-level ability estimates identifying precision gaps in GA and Quant
Worth knowing before you plan your preparation timeline.
DEST typing test requires physical keyboard speed practice.
Physical endurance tests for Inspector (Central Excise/Customs) posts are evaluated by department boards.
